Reporting from Sacramento - Jaycee Dugard first told authorities that
her name was "Alyssa" and tried to protect Phillip Garrido, who is
accused of kidnapping her 18 years ago, when she was 11, raping her
and fathering her two children, according to a report released today
by David Shaw, California's inspector general for state prisons.

Below, Shaw publicly describes for the first time Dugard's interaction
with authorities at a state parole office in Concord on Aug. 26. A UC
Berkeley police officer had notified Garrido's parole agent that he
had been on the campus with two young girls -- Dugard's daughters by
Garrido -- and acting strangely.

From Shaw's report:

As the parole agent was on the phone with the officer, he observed
that Garrido was accompanied by his wife and three young girls. After
completing his conversation with the officer, Garrido's parole agent
wisely isolated the females -- including Garrido's wife -- to identify
them.

The oldest of the three young females identified herself as Alyssa,
the second oldest as Angel, and the youngest as Starlet. During
further questioning, Alyssa advised that she was the girls' mother.

The parole agent believed that Alyssa looked too young to be the
mother and asked her age. Alyssa said that she was 29 years old,
laughingly explaining that she often gets that comment and that people
believe she is the girls' sister.

As the parole agent continued his questioning, Alyssa and Garrido's
wife became defensive and agitated, wanting to know why the parole
agent was interrogating them . . . .

Alyssa said she was aware that Garrido had taken the girls to UC
Berkeley and that he was a sex offender who was on parole for
kidnapping and raping a woman. She added that Garrido was a changed
man and a great person who was good with her kids.

Alyssa subsequently stated that she didn't want to provide any
additional information and that she might need a lawyer. The parole
agent then directed Garrido to a room and asked him to explain the
relationship of the three young girls.

Garrido thought for a moment and responded that they were all sisters
and that the father was his brother who lived nearby in Oakley,
California. Garrido stated that the parents were divorced, the girls
were living with them and other people, and he did not know his
brother's address or phone number.

Because of the inconsistencies in their stories, the parole agent
isolated Garrido in an office with another parole agent and returned
to the females. The parole agent told Alyssa that she needed to
provide him with identification or with the phone number of a relative
or friend whom he could call for verification of her identity.
. . . .

Being suspicious about the identities provided, the parole agent
called the Concord Police Department and requested an officer respond
to assist in the questioning. As they waited for the officer to
arrive, Alyssa said she was sorry that she had lied.

She explained that she was from Minnesota and had been hiding for five
years from an abusive husband. She was terrified of being found, she
said, and that was the reason she could not give the parole agent any
information.

Shaw goes on to explain that after further questioning, Garrido
admitted that the girls were his daughters and Dugard revealed who she
was and that he had kidnapped her in 1991.
