Jaycee Lee Dugard’s abductor, Garrido was only caught when he attempted, ironically, to hand out religious literature at UC Berkeley accompanied by the two daughters with which he impregnated Dugard through repeated rapes while she was in captivity.

Garrido kept his criminal past secret from those around him. That past included a federal prison stint for a kidnapping conviction in the 1970s.
