Named Suspect
However, it wasn’t only those charges that Phillip Garrido may have been responsible for.
Actually, he was named as a suspect in many other kidnapping cases in California. One included the abduction of Michaela Garecht, a 9 year old girl. However, he was never charged with any other crimes.

Facing Evil
Jaycee calls her experience, “The prison backyard,” and said, “There’s no denying it. I don’t want to deny it…what it was like being in the backyard. It was so much a part of my life. It’s always there, in the back of my mind. It never really goes away.”
During her first day, Garrido took all her clothes, handcuffed her and even burned that pink outfit, her favorite. She says of that beginning, “My first taste of pure evil. Maybe I didn’t register that and go, ‘Oh my God, you’re evil,’ but…there’s something inside of you that knows this is not right.”
