Authorities in California have been searching the home of Philip and Nancy Garrido for clues into the decades-old disappearances of two young girls.
The couple has already been charged with kidnapping 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard in 1991 and keeping her captive for 18 years.
Police spent Tuesday scouring the Garrido property and a site next door for possible links to the abductions of Michaela Garecht in 1988 in Hayward and Ilene Misheloff in 1989 in Dublin.
Investigators from two Bay Area police departments said this morning that they have launched an exhaustive search of the home of accused kidnappers Phillip and Nancy Garrido and a property next door in connection with the kidnappings of two girls from the Bay Area.
Michaela Garecht, 9, was kidnapped in front of a Hayward grocery store in 1988. A year later, Ilene Misheloff, 13, disappeared after she was seen getting into a sedan on her way home from school in Dublin.
“Our aim is to very methodically, systematically search the property with our cases in mind,” said Hayward Police Lt. Christine Orrey. ”We’re taking another shot at the property to see what we can find.”Police from nearby Hayward said they planned to use ground-penetrating radar and other equipment to search for clues in the abduction of 8-year-old Michaela Garecht, a blond girl kidnapped from a grocery store in 1988.Officials said they were looking for clothing the girls were wearing, DNA evidence, or human remains. Investigators will use underground scanners to locate evidence or possible grave sites on the Garrido property and a neighbouring lot to which they had access. The search could take several days.
The similarities between those cases and the 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard have prompted the search. It's also giving hope to family members. Michaela's mother says that if Jaycee Dugard "can be found alive and come home after 18 years," then maybe her daughter can too.
Police say they went to the Garridos' home because they noticed several similarities between Michaela's abduction and Dugard's.
The Garridos have pleaded not guilty in the Dugard case. Bail set for $30 million in this Dugard case.Garrido and his wife Nancy, 54, have both pleaded not guilty to 29 criminal counts that include kidnapping for sexual purposes, forcible lewd acts and rape.
The pair snatched Dugard from a street near her South Lake Tahoe home on June 10, 1991, when she was 11, and kept her captive in the makeshift compound behind their home for nearly two decades, police say.
Authorities say Phillip Garrido, who served 10 years in federal prison for the rape of another woman, fathered two girls with Dugard, who also lived in the backyard sheds.
Investigators also found a sliver of bone that may be human in a neighboring yard where Garrido once lived and will compare the DNA to a list of unsolved murders.
Garrido aroused the suspicion of police while trying to proselytize at the University of California at Berkeley.
The Garridos are afforded constitutional protections because they are criminal defendants in the Dugard case, and have declined to submit to interviews. Garrido has previously been imprisoned for sex crimes and was on parole when he was arrested in the Dugard case. Police said he was free when Garecht and Misheloff were taken.----------------
