SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A Bay Area sex offender has admitted to the 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was found safe this week, California corrections officials said Thursday.

A parole agent's questioning of 58-year-old Phillip Craig Garrido led to the discovery of Dugard, who was 11 years old when she was abducted 18 years ago in the El Dorado County community of Meyers, officials said. Dugard turned 29 on Thursday.

A 3 p.m. police news conference in Placerville will be streamed live by KCRA.com.

Phillip Garrido and his 55-year-old wife, Nancy Garrido, have been arrested, jail records show.

6. I wonder what will happen to those children?
Will they stay with Jaycee?

Trying to get my head around Jaycee's horror is daunting enough, but I can't imagine what it will be like for those children once they are able to understand the circumstances they were born into.

At a loss for words.

7. Jaycee never got past 5th grade, the girls have had NO education. I just cannot imagine
how you "come up to speed" with this legacy. It's hard enough w/o all of that just to survive from the abuse.

8. Voices. Uh-huh. Is he preparing his insanity defense already?
If he does get labeled incompetent to stand trial, I sincerely hope the hospital he winds up with doesn't take any chances with him. This kind of bastard does not need to be on the street.

9. the absolute of evil
sometime we libs like to say that there are no absolutes, that all is relative. But, before I became an educator, I investigated child-abuse for the state. That's when I saw evil, talked to evil, dealt with evil....and I came to believe that evil exists as an absolute, not just as a concept that is relative to societal definitions.

This is that.

11. "Victim Found Safe 18 Years Later"...
...I think that "Safe" might be overstating it a bit.

Poor thing, I hope she and her children get all the help they need. But it will be a long process for sure.

As for the perps, may they rot in hell. Or at least, rot in jail for the rest of their sad, evil lives. And then rot in hell.
