Missed Opportunities
Many people point to the missed opportunities during Jaycee’s captivity as a major failure to rescue her sooner. Apparently, in April 1992, a man called police to report seeing Jaycee staring intently at a missing child poster of herself at a gas station and then watching her leave in a big van.

Unfortunately, the van was gone when police arrived, but they did not pursue the matter. Also in 2006, a neighbor called 911 to say kids were living in tents in the back and Phillip was psychotic. After a sheriff spoke with Garrido at the front for a half hour, he left.

FBI Visit
To give you a better picture of Phillip Garrido, you should know about his August 24th, 2009 visit to the FBI office in San Francisco. He wrote a four page essay on sexuality and religion, claiming to have found a cure to his past transgressions.

That same day is when he took Jaycee’s daughters with him to U of C Berkeley, hoping to create a program called “God’s Desire” on campus. The special events manager noticed the girls looked pale and submissive and reported him after asking him to return the following day and leave his name. At the meeting, Officer Ally Jacobs was there and called Garrido’s parole officer afterwards.
