Phillip was a convicted sex offender out on parole at the time.

Jaycee Dugard was rescued from the Garridos’ captivity in August 2009 based on the intuitions of a University of California, Berkeley campus officer. Phillip Garrido took the two daughters to the university campus when an officer got suspicious.

He ran a background check on Phillip and reported the same to the sex offender’s parole officer. The truth surfaced after Phillip confessed to his parole officer about the kidnapping.
