Share

(Newser) – Police obtained a warrant today to search the Pittsburgh, Calif., house of Jaycee Dugard's alleged kidnapper in connection with the murders of several prostitutes in the 1990s, the Los Angeles Times reports. Garrido allegedly worked at an industrial site near where the victims’ bodies were found. He also served time from 1977 to 1988 on a separate kidnapping and sexual assault case.

With these easy steps you too can be a total sociopath: 1) believe in god 2) talk to god 3) do what god tells you to without question

@raj - this is kinda my point. How many Christian warriors can point where Mr. Garrido's believes about God are SO absurd. How is his 'talks' with God any more bizarre than the 'legitimate talks' with God? How could one prove their point?

I think that we need to find out what the hell the cops have been doing all this time! Maybe no more donut shops in California? Reply

I don't know about California, but in NC the police don't investigate. They wait until somebody is caught doing something then charge him with all the similar crimes in the area. Hmmm. Sounds like they might be trying to clear cases in Pittsburgh CA even as we speak.
