Neighbours complained to law enforcement that a psychotic sex addict was in their midst, alarmed that Phillip Garrido was housing young girls in backyard tents.

A deputy showed up to investigate, but never went beyond the front porch.

Probation officers also showed up at the home, but had no inkling that his back yard was actually a labyrinth of tents, sheds and buildings that were Jaycee's prison. They did not even know he had children on the premises.

Garrido also wore a GPS-linked ankle bracelet that tracked his every movement, the result of his sex-crime convictions that sent him to prison for a 50-year stint, only to get paroled after 10 years.

He was convicted of kidnapping a woman from a South Lake Tahoe car park, handcuffing her and raping her in a storage unit in Reno.

In 1977, Garrido was sentenced to 50 years for the kidnapping conviction and life for the rape conviction, but he was granted parole in 1988 for reasons that are unclear at this point.

Garrido served 10 years in the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, before being granted parole. He then served seven months for the rape conviction in a Nevada prison before being granted an early release in August 1988. Less than three years later, he allegedly kidnapped 11-year-old Jaycee.

He is accused of holding her captive for 18 years and fathering her two children, before he was arrested this week.
