9:07 pm
>> he had -- he took me to a mini warehouse, it was probably 6 by 12, you know, about the size of a very small one-car garage. and that mini warehouse, the first three feet as you lifted the garage-like door to it, the first three feet was stacked with boxes, like it was in storage, that were half opened with china and stuff coming out. and right behind them was a wall of carpet hanging from the ceiling. and with an opening at one end, a small opening at one end, and carpeting is heavy, big rugs are heavy, and a foot behind that, another wall of carpet with another opening, and behind that another one. it was like a maze. and in the back of the mini warehouse where he had me, he had it set up to keep someone for a while. >> you're a pretty good observer, though. >> i only saw this on the way out, because i had to go back in to get dressed. of so i went in and out. >> you two are married seven years, right? >> right.

9:12 pm
individual lock, and saw that one was picked, and he investigated. he banged on the door. >> and what did -- did phillip answer the door? >> phillip went out to answer the door and came back in and said it's the heat, am i going to have to tie you up or are you going to be good? and i said no, i've been good, don't tie me up. so he went out there with the receipt, and i sat there for a minute, and i thought if there is a policeman out there, i have to try. >> what did you do? >> i went crashing through, over under the rugs, over the boxes. right out into the parking area where the policeman was. completely naked. >> whoa. and a cap immediately what? >> he looked at me like i was crazy and phillip looked at me like i was crazy, and i said help me, help me, please. and and he said what's going on and he said this is just my girlfriend, we're just in there partying, it's no big deal. and i said no, i'm not, i'm not. much keep him away from me. and finally, the policeman said go back in and get dressed, because it was november, and i
9:13 pm
was freezing, and there was snow on the ground. >> you had no clothes on? >> i had no clothes on. so he let me go back in and get dressed and as i was putting on my genes, jeans, one shoe, one sock on, phillip came back through, and the policeman let him come back through, out of his sight, i thought, oh, my god, he is going to take me hostage. and he came back to beg me not to turn him in. of he said please, please, don't turn me in. and i stayed out of his reach, i said okay, okay. i won't. and ran back out. and turned him in. >> yeah and turned him in. >> now, he went to jail for that, right? >> he did. >> did you testify at his trial? >> i did. >> was that hard to do? >> you know, i didn't look at him. it wasn't hard. i just got up and told my story. that's all. >> he was sentenced to how long? >> he was sentenced to, if i remember, it was 50 to life on the rape, and life on the kidnap. >> so he's in jail, you felt comfortable, you go on with your

9:18 pm
this all these years. and when he's out now, you are living in fear. >> yes. >> larry: daily? >> yes. i try not to let it rule my life, but it's always just there under the surface. >> larry: so in a sense, this is weird, but as weird as it is, this story, there is some relief for you. >> there is absolutely relief. absolute relief. >> yes. she is free again. >> larry: never going to bother you again. >> and i haven't even begun to feel that -- you know, what that's going to mean to me, because of all of the media. >> larry: why are you here tonight? >> because i want to -- i want -- because i just want to claim my name back. i want to claim my identity. i want to -- i just want to be able to live out loud. >> and we wanted to support jaycee and her family so badly. >> yeah. >> and what they went through. the victim and her family, and carl and terry and come out here and tell them how much we're behind them and with them. and say thank you especially to the two ladies who were the two

9:21 pm
9:22 pm
>> larry: think you'll want to watch that wednesday night. katie hall and jim hall are here with us. of joining us from new york, is carl probin, the stepfather of jaycee dugard, he witnessed jaycee's abduction in 1991 and for a time was a suspect in the case. carl, what are your feelings as you watch and listen to katie? >> i truly feel sorry for her. i -- you know, i'm a victim myself, you know, being -- watching the kidnapping and everything, i know how she feels. >> larry: all right. first, obviously, how is your step daughter doing? >> she is doing good. you know, i don't get a report every day. i've been gone for a week doing these shows and everything, you know. and she is doing good. >> larry: have you talked to her? >> i have not. >> larry: you have not talked to her? >> no. she's with a group, and they're taking care of her, and they're getting adjusted, and my wife
9:23 pm
and daughter are up there, and it's going real slow. i mean, i don't need to be involved in this and disrupt anything. >> larry: what does your wife tell you? >> she's the happiest woman in the world. >> larry: what does she tell you about how your step daughter is doing? >> i'm kind of on the out of the loop out here, because they don't want to tell me too much, because i'm doing tv shows, and we don't discuss it too much. she says she looks great, looks really young for being 29 years old, almost looks the same as when she was kidnapped. and she is healthy, and she is smart. >> larry: what about her children? >> they're okay. they're also smart. i don't know if they've -- what education they have or whatever, but she says they're smart. they're smart kids. >> larry: do you have any fear of the stockholm syndrome, which is the captor suddenly sides with -- the person captured sides with the captor. >> i'm sure it happened. i know jaycee very well.
9:24 pm
she is a mellow person. she is just a sweet kid, never got mad, she is not angry, you know. if this was my other daughter, she wouldn't be here, because she would be climbing that fence every day. but jaycee adjusted to this, that's why she is alive. so the same way she adjusted, i think she can get over this, because it's going to be behind her. i think it may take years, but i think she is going to get over this. >> larry: how long were you a suspect? >> well, i talked today, i thought i was a suspect basically until tuesday. when they found her. but i find out from the police that i was a suspect for basically 90 days. but nobody told me that. >> larry: you were the one reporting her being missing, right? >> i'm the stepfather, i reported -- the last person to see her. but nobody told me after 90 days i was no longer a suspect. so about 18 years, you know. >> larry: okay. so this is interesting. katie is living in fear for all these years, once she finds out he's in prison. and you're living all these years as a suspect. >> well, sure.
9:25 pm
you know, i was the last one to see her. nobody told me i wasn't a suspect. of it didn't bother me, i just wanted to get jaycee back. what they thought of me didn't matter. my life was basically like her, ruined. i'm separated now, my marriage broke up. you know, it's just devastating. people can't understand, they say when is jaycee going to come meet you? this is going to take a long time. this is going to take years. like, she is still suffering, you can tell by looking at her. >> larry: yeah. are you still suffering, katie? >> no. >> larry: no? that's over? >> that's over. >> larry: so you are suffering with fear of him coming back at you. how long did it take you to get over the rapes? >> it took -- it took me a good two years. >> larry: carl and jaycee's mother went on "americaed's most wanted" back in 1991 to appeal for help. watch. >> she is alive. i feel her in my heart, and that's what is keeping me going. >> and this was her whole goal
9:26 pm
from the start. we have done interviews from day one, and to get her picture out there. this is our job right now to get her picture out there and get the interviews to get her back. >> larry: carl, what do you make of this guy? >> he's an animal. just cares about himself. much doesn't care about anything else. he has ruined people's lives and now he says his life has changed and he's happy, and he's, you know, done all this for himself, and he's a christian and stuff. but he has ruined a lot of people's lives. my whole family, my sister, my mother, my brother passed away. he has affected all of our lives by being a victim here. he has destroyed a lot of lives. >> larry: so how and why did phillip garrido get out of prison? our next guest may have the answer. stay with us. there's no way to hide it. sir, have you been drinking tonight? if you ride drunk, you will get caught... and you will get arrested.
9:27 pm
the rest of the body is a no brainer. doesn't your whole body deserve excedrin strength relief? excedrin back & body. excedrin. what ache? need a lift? hey buddy, i appreciate the ride, you know. no problem. ♪ mind if i take a shortcut? yeah, sure. ♪ i knew the subaru legacy was the smart choice... what i didn't expect... was the fun. the all-new subaru legacy. feel the love.
9:29 pm
>> a caller to our 911 dispatch offered that there were tents in the neighbor's backyard, that people were living in them, and that there were young children. >> larry: it get weirder and weirder. katie hall and jim hall with us here in l.a., and carl probin, the stepfather of jaycee dugard, and scott turnin, california department of corrections and
9:30 pm
rehabilitation. obvious, scott, why was phillip garrido pa rolled? >> he completed his sentence both with the feds for the kidnapping charge, he was transferred to the nevada department of corrections for the rape charge. he was released from that sentence in on our interstate compact agreement, which is typical, he was transferred to california for his parole supervision. >> was he therefore a good pris prisoner? . >> i don't know about his history request w the feds in nevada, but i know while he was on parole, he was compliant with his terms of parole. >> larry: in retrospect, obviously, he shouldn't have been paroled. but are you saying there is no way -- he had to be paroled? >> i believe it was consistent with the law in nevada. and certainly our parole supervision, nevada has lifetime parole for sex offenders. we do not. much so he would be on lifetime parole with the department of corrections and rehabilitation.
9:31 pm
>> larry: would you change the law in any way based on this? >> you know, this is obviously a very serious crime that was committed. i leave that up to lawmakers and the governor. >> larry: what did the parole supervision entail? >> regular visits to both his house and then the offender would have to report to the parole office, enter narcotic testing and compliance with some parole programs. >> larry: people went to his house and didn't find anything based on all of the stuff we have seen? >> you know, larry, every report right now suggests that this was so well concealed that anybody just would not have been able to see it. i know that the parole age end involvement in this case, and the details are still being kept just so that we don't in any way jeopardize the prosecution of this case. he acted with real due diligence. i'm very proud of my parole officer in this case. the fact of the matter is, the neighbors for 18 years tint see
9:32 pm
it. neighbors that actually had been in the backyard hadn't seen it. of so, you know, it was significantly concealed. >> larry: kate, do you have any question, katie, you want to ask scott? >> when phillip was pa rolled, i made an appointment with -- >> larry: right there. >> i made an appointment with this parole officer at the time, and he told me, he said that what do you want me to tell you, that he's well? he's not. he's a sick puppy. we're sure he's going to do this again, but we're pretty sure it's not directed at you. >> well, there is no doubt that this monster had some significant mental health issues. and you know, that's why he was on parole supervision for life. >> larry: carl, anything you want to ask scott? >> yes, i heard he was back in prison in 1999 and served some more time. is that true or not? >> i believe that, no, not in '99. when he came to our parole supervision, he had no revocations, was not returned to
9:33 pm
california prison at all. >> larry: based on all we have learned, scott, what changes would you recommend in the system? >> well, i can tell you right now, larry that, we are doing everything we can to review the case and the circumstances and see what policy changes might be necessary. the parole agent in this case did perform his duties appropriately. but we will, of course, take best lessons from this, and see if there's some policy changes that might be necessary. but our focus right now is in the full prosecution with the other jurisdictions to prosecute this parolee to the fullest extent to the law and make sure he doesn't see the light of day again. >> thank you, scott, undersecretary of operations, california department of corrections and rehabilitation. two men who did business with garrido, and the girls tell us first-hand what they're like. next. oice fresh mixer thingys, they taste fresh... say it again! what? say it like, "mmmm, these healthy choice fresh mixers taste freshh!!" they taste fresh...
9:34 pm
wait. what are you doing? got it. you're secretly taping me? you were good too! but you know, it wasn't a secret to us, we knew... yes, but it was a secret to me. of course, otherwise i would be sitting like this and completely block his shot. so that's why i was like... didn't you notice this was weird? no. they taste fresh because you make them fresh. healthy choice fresh mixers. in the soup or pasta aisle. ok! break! ...ah...ah...ah...

9:35 pm
p.a.d. more than doubles your risk of a heart attack or stroke. promise me you'll talk with your doctor about plavix? i'll do it. i promise. (announcer) if you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding, you should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines including aspirin may increase bleeding risk. tell your doctor before planning surgery or taking aspirin or other medicines with plavix, especially if you've had a stroke. some medicines that are used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers, like prilosec, may affect how plavix works, so tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition, reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur.

9:37 pm
printing supplies, envelopes, letterhead, business cards, anything we needed printed, coupons. >> larry: and where did he do this? at his house? >> yeah, he came in -- actually, it's probably been over ten years. he came in the mid '90s and solicited us with a flier. and the name of his company is "printing for less," and he dropped off a flier and said he could do some printing for us. so the next time we needed -- i think we started off with just business cards, where he came into the shop, we told him what we needed and he printed them up, did a good job, his prices were good good, and we went ahead and paid him and picked up the materials. he would always come to the shop to do that. >> larry: and ben, what kind of business did you do with him? >> at one time we had a hauling and demolition company in the same sort of thing, coupons or fliers or brochures we would work up for our new advertising idea we wanted to pursue. they would be the ones that would work up the artwork and
9:38 pm
get us through, and so we would go from there and they would deliver cards or we would pick them up, depending on schedules. >> ben, did you meet with then alyssa who we know now as jaycee? >> yes, i did. >> larry: what was she like? >> very polite and professional. just a nice young lady. >> larry: did she do the printing? >> you know, i got the impression that she was the -- she was the brains in the business. and i mean that in -- when you would call up to order something, it would be phillip on the phone, and you would hear him talking to whom he called alyssa. and he would -- he would basically confer what i would say to her, and she would send over correspondence with e-mail from her. on several occasions, i talked with her, as well. and she -- i always got the impression that she was the one doing the design and the artwork. >> larry: tim, do you have any relationship with her? >> no, i never met alyssa.
9:39 pm
i just met his other two younger daughters, just her children. >> larry: how old were they when you met them? >> i'm thinking approximately, my memory is vague, but i think it was about 18 months ago to two years ago. he brought them in on two or three occasions, but the last time he brought them in it really sticks in my mind. he brought them in and just walked into my shop like, you know, he was picking up materials or delivering stuff and he said, i want you to meet my daughters, and so i walked out from behind the counter to the front door there where they are they were, and i shook hands with both of them and he introduced them to me. >> larry: how old did they seem to be? >> one was about maybe eight or ten inches taller than the other one. i would guess to be about 11 and 14. of something like that. >> larry: were they well-mannered, were they nice? >> yeah, they were very, very shy. but we get children in the shop all of the time. summer, real wild and run around
9:40 pm
and others are quiet and calm. and these two girls were very calm. they were very well-mannered, and they kind of just stayed right there by phil's side. but they did stick out their hands, and he introduced me and it seemed like a normal situation. >> larry: carl, does it seem to you that your step daughter seemed to have completely adopted a new life? >> she did. of she did. like i say, she was a very mellow kid, and this doesn't surprise me at all. >> larry: how do you react, katie? >> to? >> larry: what you're learning here? >> i think it's horrible. and i think it's really sad, the poor little girl had to adapt to her environment. that was the only way she could survive. >> larry: all those years, totally adapt. >> to totally adapt, yes. i'm sure they told her that her parents were dead and didn't want her. >> larry: ben, you must be totally shocked. >> you know, i have to say i'm sorry this happened to her. and i really want her, jaycee,

to know that she should feel no shame in the way she acted or in the way things -- i've been asked a lot of things about, you know, why didn't she reach out to me, or why didn't she slip me a note, or why didn't she say something? but to her, that was normal. and as bad as it was, from our points looking in, you know, i'm glad that she is back with her family. >> larry: tim, how do you feel? >> i feel the same. our hearts go out to the family. i mean, it's -- i mean, three young lives just ruined and thrown into chaos like this. it's terrible, terrible. and i'm hoping by people watching this show, and people that are interested in this case that people can kind of understand that weird, strange things can happen like this. people can act one way in front of you, and a different way when they're not in front of you. and it's certainly opened my ice eyes up to the fact that there are bad people out there, and i

9:50 pm
he was extremely passionate and animated about his message, and he really wanted to -- he was excited that he had a voice and somebody was listening to him, actually. the actually. the girls observed in the background. and so they drew attention because they were just -- they didn't fit in. the puzzle just didn't match. he was extremely animated. and they were not at all. extremely submisive. pretty much in the backdrop. not acting like children that age. i needed to address him. i asked him if he would be willing to come in for the next day for an pintment to discuss the event. >> larry: and he came back, right? >> yes. >> larry: and he came back with his -- with three women now, right? or four? who came back with him? >> no, when he came back on tuesday, he came back with the same two girls. >> larry: okay. now what made you turn it over to the police?
9:51 pm
>> actually, we did a name check. and then alley determined he had a criminal background with rape and kidnapping. and so after we talked to him for a while, we notified his -- alley actually notified the probation officer. >> larry: did you come over and make the arrest? >> no. i didn't get to arrest him. >> larry: who did? >> i'm not sure. maybe the fbi. i don't know. >> larry: did you hold him? did you ask him to remain there or did he go back home? >> no, after we were talking with him, we just basically came to the conclusion that he was, you know, a little disturbed and had some maybe mental health issues at that point. there wasn't enough to hold him. my main concern was for the two little girls that were with him. i could see no sign of abuse. but there was just something not right about them. that just kind of sparked our interest. kind of a gut feeling, if you will. and that's why i wanted to follow up with the parole officer was to make sure that girls were okay.
9:52 pm
maybe do a home visit. >> larry: and now did you know what you know, alley, what do you make of all this? >> it's incredible, larry. it's overwhelming. i'm so happy that these girls are back home safe where they belong and that this horrible vent is over for them. >> larry: well, lisa, you know, without both of you, it may never have come forth. >> well, we're just grateful that we were able to be in the place at the time and do the service that we did. >> larry: we salute you both. and i know so does katie, especially katie. and jim and carl as well. thank you both. what's it like to get your child back after he's been kidnapped and held for years? our next guests know and will tell us about it. he ran off with his secretary! she's 23 years old!

>> larry: here in the studio is a clinical psychologist. we'll get her read on all this. first, let's check in in st. louis, missouri with, pam and craig acre who's remember their son was abducted when he was 11, held for four years. pam, how's he doing? >> oh, he's doing just absolutely wonderful. he's turned 18. if you ever met him on the street and didn't know who he was, you would have never known what happened to him. >> larry: what's he doing, craig? is he a senior? >> he's a senior. he's going to graduate early. he needs two half credits to finish out his high school. he's working part time as a cashi cashier, playing sports, dating girls, hanging out, having a great time. >> larry: all right. you have noticed any major impact from what happened to him, pam? >> no.
9:56 pm
actually, we haven't. i think it was just because of the good therapy that we got at the very beginning and us able to work things out as a family that i don't think he's going to have any problems. >> larry: doctor, first, what's your read on all this? >> i want to say two things. this story is so important. first, it's about those women officers who followed their intuition. we've got to meddle. we've got to be interested. if we're concerned, follow your gut and report it. report again. >> larry: well said. >> that's one. and the second thing and to you as well as jaycee and her daughters, it's about courage and survival and resillency. because i think it's something that carl said about jaycee that's really true. she's alive because she was resilient. she, i'm sure, is coping with the stockholm syndrome. jap she may be totally like this guy? >> you have to.
9:57 pm
stockholm syndrome is a syndrome that concentration camp victims have. your mind does it. you don't have a choice. you don't choose to have it. you go into a situation like that and you're -- our minds help us survive. >> larry: did your boy have that, craig? >> you know, that's something that we talked about quite a bit. i really don't think it's necessarily stockholm syndrome. i think it's more of a child just getting to a place where they figure out what they have to do to survive. i believe survival mode kicks in. and they know if i do this, i won't die. and that's really what i believe it is. >> yeah, i mean it's only named that. you know, this group of behaviors that happened was only named stockholm syndrome because of a famous incident. but it's actually that's very true. we do that because we are given good things about our abuser. and that makes us hopeful. >> larry: what tip would you have for a person being raped, katie? is there any tip other than
9:58 pm
submission? >> absolutely. i think with every young girl taught that as soon as they're able to even listen. you submit. be submisive and you survive. >> right. and there are different moments like for you where you took -- you ran when you could. >> i did. >> she was also only in captivity for eight hours. >> larry: she is totally nude and runs out in the cold. >> those are the critical moments. once you've been in captivity for a length of time, even days, it's very hard. >> larry: carl, what it is like to live in existence as the accused? >> it didn't really bornlg me. i knew it was coming. i'm the last person to see her and a major player. i'm the stepdad. it didn't really surprise me. i was prepared for it. >> larry: it cost you your marriage and a lot of your life. >> it did. what can you do. i mean my wife is still upset, not so much me being accused, just what happened to jaycee. i mean the first ten years, like i say, she didn't celebrate christmas. when she was taken, she would
9:59 pm
take a week vacation and stay home. she was a basket case. it took about ten years to have -- finally had a psychiatrist talk to her to have a closure to go beyond and go on with her life. >> larry: we'll be doing lots more on this i'm sure. i'm sure the doctors and others will be back. doctor, someone like this, do you have any idea how they got to be like this or what causes this? >> you know, he's a sociopath. and i am sure in his history there is probably intense abuse. most people who get to this point, they're abusers. i want to make sure we realize there was also a woman involved in this kidnapping, the wife. nancy. okay? >> larry: what brought this up? >> that is extremely important. i've done a lot of stories on female sexual predators. at the very important we don't make light of her role. >> larry: do you think she participated? >> oh, i'm sure she participated in. this i'm sure of it. >> larry: k
