CNN is reporting that Antioch police are searching the home of suspected kidnapper Phillip Craig Garrido for evidence that may link him to the slayings of prostitutes in the 1990s.
According to the LA Times, several bodies were found near an industrial site that Garrido allegedly worked at, said Capt. Daniel Terry, member of a special investigative unit of the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department. Police want to check see if there is any connection between Garrido and the killings of the prostitutes, he said.
This afternoon in an El Dorado County courtroom, Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy each pleaded not guilty to 28 felony counts, including abduction, rape, sexual assault, and false imprisonment.
Phillip Garrido and his wife stand accused of abducting Jaycee Lee Dugard, 11, from the street outside of her South Lake Tahoe home on June 10, 1991.
Police say Dugard was kept in the Garrido backyard in Antioch for 18 years, where she gave birth to two daughters, now ages 11 and 15, fathered by Garrido.
She was found on Wednesday when she and her daughters accompanied Phillip Garrido to a meeting with his parole officer.
Garrido is a convicted sex offender and served time in prison for the 1976 kidnapping, rape and torture of a South Lake Tahoe woman in Reno.
