Phillip and Nancy Garrido: Could Jaycee Dugard's Kidnappers Also Be Team Murderers?

The strange and disturbing story of Phillip Garrido that surrounds the troubling and horrific story of Jaycee Lee Dugard might have taken an even more bizarre turn than kidnap, rape, confining an individual for 18 years, hearing voices of god in a box, religious ministry, and a disturbing blog. The Contra Costa Sheriff's Office now believes that Phillip Garrido may have had something to do with some unsolved prostitute murders. According to NBC and msn.com, Sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant on Phillip and Nancy Garrido's house Friday. It was behind that house, set on the other side of a partition privacy fence, where Jaycee Dugard spent the last 18 years of her life.

While Phillip and Nancy Garrido pleaded not guilty to 29 felony charges, including forcible abduction, rape, sexual assault and false imprisonment in connection with the abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard, the search warrant was executed, deputies looking for anything that might tie Phillip Garrido to the bodies of several prostitutes that had been dumped in an industrial park near where Garrido worked during the 1990s. Both were held without bond.

Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender, was paroled in 1988 after serving time for the kidnapping and multiple rape of a 25-year-old woman from a parking lot in South Lake Tahoe, California, the same town Garrido would snatch 11-year old Jaycee Dugard in 1991. In what would prove a precursor to the Jaycee Dugard case, Garrido took the woman to a storage facility in Reno, Nevada, that was described as a "sex palace" by an investigator. After serving 10 years (of 50) for kidnapping and less than one year (of a 5-year to life sentence) for sexual assault, he was paroled.

He met his wife, Nancy, while serving time for the rape at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas.

Was Nancy Garrido a willing accomplice in his abduction of Jaycee Dugard? And if Phillip Garrido actually had something to do with the murder of the unsolved prostitute murders, is it possible that his wife was part of those heinous acts as well?

Male/female team murderers and kidnappers are rare but they do exist. English serial murderers Fred and Rosemary West may be the most notorious. Between 1967 and 1987, the Wests were responsible for the rapes, torturing, and deaths of at least 12 young women, including several family members. Their reign of terror ended in the 1990s with their arrests.

It is known that Nancy Garrido was with Phillip Garrido when they pulled Jaycee Dugard into their car in 1991. She was then taken to a prepared soundproofed shed, where she would be raped for years and bear Garrido two children.

Nancy Garrido's involvement went beyond participating in the abduction. According to MSNBC, in 1993, Phillip Garrido spent four months in prison for violating his probation. While he was away, Nancy Garrido took care of 13-year-old Jaycee.

Before this story is over, this already bizarre and horrifying tale could very well get far, far worse...
