SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California corrections officials say they do not intend to investigate Jaycee Dugard’s claim that she spoke with parole agents while she was being held captive at the home of a convicted rapist.
In an attorney general’s report to state lawmakers, Dugard says she once talked to agents who were supervising Phillip Garrido, but the agents never followed up.
Garrido, who fathered two children with Dugard during her 18 years in captivity, has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and rape.
The corrections department and the department’s inspector general said Thursday they will not reopen their investigations into how authorities missed opportunities to rescue Dugard, who is now 30.
State lawmakers approved a $20 million settlement with Dugard and her family last week.
