Dogs to search Garrido property for bones

ANTIOCH, Calif., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Bone-sniffing dogs will be used to search for possible human remains at the California property of suspected kidnapper Phillip Craig Garrido, authorities say.

Hayward police Lt. Chris Orrey said Friday that in preparation for Monday's search of Garrido's property in Antioch, Calif., investigators will have at least two concrete slabs removed from the back area of the home, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

In addition, various debris will be removed from the property where Garrido and his wife, Nancy, allegedly kept Jaycee Lee Dugard for 18 years.

"Instead of bringing them in multiple times, we want them to be able to concentrate efficiently," Orrey said of the dogs set to used next week.

Garrido, 58, and his 54-year-old wife are accused of kidnapping then-11-year-old Dugard in 1991 in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Authorities allege while holding Dugard prisoner, Garrido fathered two children with Dugard.

The Chronicle said investigators are hoping to find clues at the Garrido property that would link the suspects to the 1988 abduction of 9-year-old Michaela Garecht of Hayward, Calif., and the 1989 kidnapping of 13-year-old Ilene Misheloff of Dublin, Calif.
