SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A new report finds that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to properly supervise parolee Phillip Garrido and missed opportunities to discover the alleged kidnapping victim held for 18 years.
The report also says the department failed to refer Garrido for a mental health assessment.
The California Inspector General's Office released a summary of the report Wednesday on its Web site. The office planned an afternoon news conference to release the full report.
The inquiry was launched after Garrido and his wife were arrested for allegedly kidnapping Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive in his backyard.
Questions arose about how Garrido managed to keep Dugard hidden for so long despite being monitored by parole officers because of a previous rape conviction.
