An internal report says California parole agents spoke to the woman who was held captive by a paroled rapist for 18 years but never bothered to follow up. The revelation about how parole agents missed another opportunity to rescue Jaycee Dugard is contained in a report obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press under the California Public Records Act.

California lawmakers approved a $20 million settlement Thursday with the family of Jaycee Dugard, who was kidnapped as a girl and held captive in a secret backyard for 18 years by a paroled sex offender. Dugard, 30, resurfaced last August with two daughters she bore with Phillip Garrido, a convicted rapist. 

The Northern California couple charged with kidnapping and raping Jaycee Dugard have been granted two more phone calls to each other. At a hearing Friday, an El Dorado County judge said Nancy and Phillip Garrido will get one phone call in July and another in August. The couple, who have pleaded not guilty in the case, have been denied face-to-face visits.

Jaycee Dugard is speaking out about the man who has claimed to be her biological father. Dugard, who resurfaced last August after being kidnapped 18 years earlier near her South Lake Tahoe home, says she has no interest in having a relationship with Kenneth Slayton. In a statement released Wednesday, a spokeswoman says the 30-year-old Dugard does not wish to see Slayton or his family, though she reserves the right to change her mind later.

Kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard and her family have filed claims against the state of California for damages they say resulted from "various lapses" by the corrections department. Jon Myers, a spokesman for California's Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, says Dugard, her two daughters and her mother, Terry Probyn, each have filed claims with the board.

The El Dorado County sheriff's department is fighting a Northern California couple's request for in-jail visits while they await trial for kidnapping and raping Jaycee Dugard. Lawyers for the county filed court papers Tuesday opposing the request from Phillip and Nancy Garrido. Their lawyers have asked a judge to compel jail officials to allow the two to meet face-to-face so they can talk about the case, their finances and their hopes for Dugard and the two daughters she had with Phillip Garrido.

Kidnapping victim Jaycee Lee Dugard says she wants nothing to do with Phillip and Nancy Garrido, the couple charged with abducting her in 1991 and holding her captive in the backyard of their Antioch home for 18 years. In court documents filed Thursday in El Dorado County, prosecutors say Phillip Garrido concocted an elaborate plan to stay in touch with Dugard in case he was ever arrested.

A couple being held on charges of abducting a girl more than 18 years ago and keeping her in their backyard wants permission to visit each other in the jail, a defense lawyer said Thursday. Phillip and Nancy Garrido have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping Jaycee Dugard when she was 11, raping her and confining her and the daughters she bore by Phillip Garrido to a hidden compound in the backyard of their Antioch home.

A retired federal parole agent said Tuesday he is sorry neither he nor any of his colleagues discovered Jaycee Dugard was living in her alleged captor's backyard during the years Phillip Garrido was under their supervision in Northern California. Houston Antwine told Sacramento television station KCRA that he couldn't recall visiting the Antioch home where Garrido lived after he was paroled from federal prison in 1988 until his arrest in August or even having the convicted kidnapper as part of his caseload.

A judge has set bail at $20 million for the woman accused of kidnapping and raping Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive for 18 years. In setting the high bail amount, El Dorado Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister said Thursday that he considered Nancy Garrido to be a "danger to the community and also a flight risk." Garrido has pleaded not guilty in the 1991 kidnapping and sexual assault.
