SACRAMENTO, July 14 (UPI) -- The El Dorado County Attorney's office in California has released new videos Jaycee Lee Dugard's abductors shot as they stalked other children.
The release of the videos coincided with the publication of Dugard's memoir, "A Stolen Life," Tuesday, USA Today reported, which sold 175,000 copies.
The videos show Phillip and Nancy Garrido, who abducted Dugard at a bus stop in South Lake Tahoe in 1991 when she was 11, inconspicuously filming children in parks and parking lots, the Los Angeles Times reported.
District Attorney Vern Pierson said he released the new information "to highlight the gravity and severity of the mistakes made, and in hopes of improving the supervision and detection of sexual predators."
Phillip Garrido had previous convictions on sex charges but managed to hold Dugard without being detected by authorities for years until she was rescued in 2009.
The videos will be part of a public hearing scheduled for Aug. 3 in Sacramento aimed at examining "what went wrong in the Dugard case, identify reforms to the system and introduce legislation to better protect our citizens from becoming the next victim," state Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, said in a written statement.
