Girl taken in 1991 surfaces; couple held

[KRonn]

I saw this on the news yesterday. What a horror show. This nut case kept this girl locked away, fathered two kids by her, who will also be very messed up as they have to start dealing with what their father is. Just a nasty horror, so sad.

Garrido sounds Hispanic or Italian... not Austrian. And this took place in California.

He was referring to Arnie, who runs California and is an Austrian.

Austrian-American

just like Charlize Theron is African-American

Edit: or is that Afrikaans-American or Afrikaner-American I'm confused...

Austrian-American

Is there such a thing? I mean, he's ethnically German.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but if I did this is one non-murder case that I think in theory warrants the death penalty.  What this guy did is equal to first degree murder in magnitude IMO.

Very much agreed. I'm neutral on the death penalty. I don't like it but I can certainly understand when/where some would want it used. This is one of those cases.

fathered two children with her, the first when Jaycee was about 14. Those children, both girls now 11 and 15, also were kept hidden away in the backyard compound.

I didn't realize how old the daughters were.
Do we know if he raped them as well?

It is part of my ever more low view of human morality that I must answer, "we don't know yet."

One story I read was that would be determined as the police/FBI performed investigations into this whole nasty incident.

In an interview with KCRA3, Garrido on Thursday night urged people to wait for more details about the case to come out before making a judgment.

"What's kept me busy the last several years is I've completely turned my life around," he said.

"And you're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witness, the victim - you wait. If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backwards and in the end, you're going to find the most powerful heartwarming story."

I'm not really interested in the delusional rantings of a wackjob.

That is literally heart-warming. In the sense of how 100 amps will warm up the heart to a nice crispy well done.

That's what I was getting at.
