This is by far the most fucked up story I've read in many, many years. When you hear stories about the boogie man and things that go bump in the night, you need to be scared of people like this.

In a rambling telephone interview from jail, Garrido told CNN affiliate KCRA of Sacramento he was relieved at being caught.

"I feel much better now," he said. "This is a process that needed to take place."

Kollar said Garrido's wife, Nancy, was with her husband when Dugard was abducted from the street in front of her house in South Lake Tahoe. Garrido was already a registered sex offender at the time.

Your wife helps you abduct an 11 year old girl you keep as a sex slave, and getting caught is a relief? Do we even have the psychological methodology in place to figure out what's wrong with these people? Sounds like he wanted to get caught:

A school spokesman identified the officers as Allison Jacobs and Lisa Campbell, and said the two became suspicious of "subtle behavior" Garrido exhibited.

They passed on the information to Garrido's parole officer, who requested that the 58-year-old man appear Wednesday at the parole office.

Garrido did just that, accompanied by his wife, Nancy, "and a female named Allissa," Kollar said.

The presence of "Allissa" and the two children surprised the parole officer, who had never seen them during visits to Garrido's house, Kollar said.

"Ultimately, Allissa was identified as Dugard," Kollar said.

You bring your abducted sex slave to your P.O.? Yeah, he was trying to get caught. But the kicker is this quote from the child-rapist:

But Garrido said he had "completely turned my life around" in the past several years. "You're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witness, from the victim," he said. "If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backward and in the end you're going to find the most powerful, heartwarming story."

He added, "Wait 'til you hear the story of what took place at this house. You're going to be absolutely impressed. It's a disgusting thing that took place with me in the beginning, but I turned my life completely around."

Who knows what demons this guy was wrestling with, but he doesn't get them to resolve them at the cost of an innocent stranger, while fathering two children with her.

The London Times has a better background on the guy:

He was a registered sex offender who had kidnapped a woman from South Lake Tahoe in 1976, driven her to a warehouse in Reno, Nevada, and raped her. Garrido and his victim were found when a patrol officer called after seeing a car outside at 2.30am.

What a keeper. Well, at least he'll get health care where he's going to be locked up. I hope he gets raped more, though.
