could always hear her daughter's cry, feel her daughter's pain. but only in her heart during jaycee's 18 years in captivity. she called both phillip and nancy garrido selfish and monstrous. the 1991 the garridos kidnapped then 11-year-old jaycee in south lake tahoe. in court we heard how phillip garrido used a taser to subdue the child. her mother, jaycee's mother, read a statement from jaycee. jaycee said she was angry that her life had been stolen and that phillip garrido was wrong in every way in everything he said. something she says she could not say during her captivity in which she was raped repeatedly giving birth to two daughters by garrido. now jaycee had nothing to say to nancy garrido, but before her 36 year to life sentence was read, nancy garrido's attorney read a statement to the dugard family. >> she said there's -- the words are not enough and what i did is evil and every time i look in the mirror reminds me

of how evil i was. >> reporter: her attorney says that 36 to life sentence is essentially a life sentence that nancy garrido will never get out. that is certainly true for phillip garrido. the judge sentenced him to 431 years to life. the judge said to garrido that you lack a soul. at 5:00 we will have more from the victim impact statement both from jaycee dugard and jaycee dugard's mother. now we will send it to ktvu's jade hernandez who is near antioch near the former garrido home. jade. >> reporter: ken, we are here in antioch. and a few people that we spoke to today told us that they were satisfied that phillip garrido would spend the rest of his life behind bars. but a few women told us that nancy garrido deserved more jail time. the woman we spoke to lived behind phillip and nancy garrido's compound. she didn't want to speak to us on camera but told us the garridos are "getting what they

deserve. and if we'd known anything was going on we'd been the first to call ." the reaction here over the garridos sentencing today are a mix of guilt, sadness and relief. for others stopping in at the bridgehead cafe not far from the garridos home the horror still reso nates for residents. >> i live right over there. so close to know that something so horrible would happen in antioch was just scary. just scary. >> reporter: phillip and nancy garrido were both in a placerville court for their sentencing today. 60-year-old garrido received 431 years to life. his wife, nancy, who is 55 years old, received 36 years. one of the uc berkeley officers who alerted garrido's parole officer about the two young girls accompanying garrido on the campus two years ago came to the sentencing as part of her healing process. the story took a different turn for her despite being credited for ending now 21-year-old jaycee dugard's nightmare. >> to hear what she went through the day she was abducted today was the first

time i heard the details of that. and being a mother, i couldn't hold back my emotion on that. it was appalling what she went through. but what i would want to tell her is how amazed i am at how strong she is and continuing to be. >> reporter: we're live in front of the garridos house here in antioch. windows are boarded and a fence still surrounds the property. it will be a place the judge has made sure neither phillip nor nancy garrido will ever see again. reporting live in antioch, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, jade. you can see more video and hear more of the interviews from the placerville courthouse on ktvu.com. there's also more background on the jaycee dugard kidnapping case. just go to the front page and click on the dugard kidnapping tab. hayward police are looking at cell phone records today in their search for michelle le. the 26-year-old nursing student was last seen friday evening walking to a parking garage.

tracker 2 showing you the cloud cover up in the north bay also right around concord, san jose and san francisco. the latest ground observations reporting for the most part partly cloudy skies. and the overall weather story for today somewhat of a break but just a chance of a few showers. tomorrow increasing clouds, showers redeveloping in the weekend. we're still tracking a storm that will bump up our rain chances. and we could be talking about at least a potential for some heavy rain as we head into the first weekend of june. current numbers just updated. santa rosa 59. fairfield 63. livermore 65. and san francisco in the upper 50s right around 58 degrees. the satellite and radar you can see the system that moves across the bay area yesterday. even this morning upstream in the flow this is what we'll be watching as we do head into your friday. so for today partly to mostly cloudy skies with just a chance of a shower. as we do head into friday we'll gradually thicken up the cloud cover especially for tomorrow afternoon and showers could be developing. we do bring in the chance tomorrow afternoon. but especially between about 4:00 and 8:00 tomorrow night.

monday. but then, tori, i think the light at the end of the tunnel into next week we could be talking about warmer temperatures. this weekend we'll have to keep an eye on the exact track of that storm because it's still a bit uncertain and a key factor at least in the forecast for the next few days. thank you, mark. and we want to give an update now on the breaking news we told you about at the start of this newscast. two firefighters injured while battling a fire in the diamond heights neighborhood of san francisco. let's go back to david. have you learned anything new? >> reporter: i have. take a look behind me. you can see the cluster of firefighters and ambulances behind me. it's thinned considerably in the last ten minutes. this is still an active investigation. take a live look right now from news chopper 2 which is hovering above the scene at 133 berkeley way. a fire broke out here just after about 10:30. firefighters responded at 10:45. no one was -- none of the residents inside were injured, but we have learned that three firefighters were injured. two have been taken to san francisco general. a third was expected to be
