Police investigating the serial killings of 10 prostitutes in the 1990s near where Phillip Garrido lived and worked conducted a new search today of the home outside Antioch where police say he held Jaycee Lee Dugard captive for
18 years.

Pittsburg police executed a search warrant at home on Walnut Avenue where Garrido, 58, lives with his wife, Nancy Garrido, Contra Costa County sheriff’s Capt. Dan Terry said.

The couple are charged with kidnapping Dugard in 1991, when the girl was 11, in South Lake Tahoe. Dugard had two daughters by Garrido, and she and the girls were forced to live in his backyard encampment, authorities said.

“Pittsburg police, for whatever reason, decided he was a person of interest,” in the prostitute slayings, Terry said.

He said some of the women’s bodies were found in 1998 and 1999 in an industrial area near where Garrido worked at the time.

Terry said Garrido has been interviewed by authorities about the killings, but said nothing to indicate he was involved.
