Searching continued today at the home of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, where police say kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard and her two young daughters lived for years in hidden backyard squalor.

For suspicion of kidnapping and a host of other rape and abuse charges, the Garridos are now jailed.

Police had nailed boards over the Garridos’ home windows to prevent trespassing and a chain-link fence had been erected at the front property line

Since Thursday, dozens of media crews remained camped out on rural Walnut Avenue.

Police had extended their search on Sunday to a next door neighbor’s yard as they looked for evidence linking the Garridos to a number of unsolved homicides. Phillip served as a caretaker at one point in the once-vacant home next to his, neighbors had told police.

The Sunday search for evidence involved more than 20 law enforcement officers moving in and around the Garridos’ backyard—a collection of worn-out tents, sheds and piles of rubbish where Dugard, 29, and her 15- and 11-year-old daughters are believed to have lived, hidden by tarps and dense brush from neighbors and even a visiting parole agent.
