- Jaycee tells her daughters the truth about their father
- Did Nancy Garrido keep Jaycee captive for four months while her husband was in prison?
- Garrido's father: 'I believe my son killed prostitutes'
- Garrido was never a suspect in Jaycee's kidnapping
- Past rape victim speaks of terror of Jaycee's story
Investigators say it is too early to tell if the bone is human.
The discovery came as it emerged that Nancy Garrido, wife of suspected serial killer Phillip Garrido who accused of holding Jaycee captive and repeatedly raping her, may have played a far larger role in the kidnapping than previously thought.

Police 'cadaver' sniffer dogs enter the Garrido house: They found a bone in Garrido's neighboring garden
Jaycee has told her daughters that she was kidnapped, and that their father was her captor for 18 years.
Relatives said she broke the news to her daughters, aged 15 and 11, because they were distraught that he was in prison.
Yesterday the FBI finished combing Garrido's house and garden and a neighbouring property for possible links to unsolved crimes in the area.
Phillip Garrido: He denies rape and kidnap and is on suicide watch
Investigators recovered several other pieces of evidence during the four days they spent searching the two parcels of land.
Garrido once lived on his neighbour's property in a shed. Residents say he once worked as the property caretaker and helped out an elderly man who lived there several years ago.
He is already suspected of murdering a 15-year-old girl and as many as ten prostitutes who were killed close to a factory where he used to work.
The 15-year-old was Mexican-American Lisa Diane Norrell, who disappeared from a party at a dance hall in Antioch in November 1998.
Eight days later, her asphyxiated body, hands bunched into fists, was found face down in the yard of a landscaping firm in Pittsburg, her hometown.
At his 1977 trial, Garrido reportedly told the court he was a peeping tom and had strong rape desires.
He also admitted leering at girls as young as seven and 10, and said he exposed himself to some of them.
Were these missing girls other victims of Garrido?

- Michaela Garecht
Michaela went missing three months after Garrido was freed from jail after serving ten years of a rape sentence in August 1988.
The blonde nine-year-old was forced into a man's car as she went to the shops near her home in Hayward, 30 miles from Antioch. Her mother Sharon Murch said the discovery of Jaycee gave her fresh hope.
- Amanda Campbell
Six months after Jaycee's kidnap, Amanda was snatched in Fairfield, 40 miles away, while cycling to a friend's house and her bike was found dumped in a field
- Ilene Misheloff
Two months after Michaela's disappearance, Ilene was abducted while walking home from school in the Dublin area, 25 miles from Garrido's home.
- Lisa Norrell
15-year-old Lisa Diane Norrell, a Mexican-American, who disappeared from a party at a dance hall in Antioch in November 1998.
Eight days later, her asphyxiated body, hands bunched into fists, was found face down in the yard of a landscaping firm in Pittsburg, her hometown.
Her stepfather Carl Probyn told ABC: 'It’s going to take a lot of therapy for them. We’ re going to have to take it minute by minute. These girls are so fragile.
'Jaycee had to explain to them, like two days ago, that she had been kidnapped. They didn’t even know that. They are upset about this because that’s their father and he’s in jail.'
Joann Behrman-Lippert, a psychologist who has researched child abductions, told The Times: 'For these children their father is still their father, no matter what has happened. It’s very complex and not a black-or-white situation.'
Meanwhile Garrido's father believes his son was a serial sex killer.
Acknowledging that he thinks his son preyed on women victims, Manuel Garrido, 87, said: 'He was a sex addict. That was his problem.'
For four months in 1993, Phillip Garrido was in jail, for breaking the terms of his parole.

She was also likely pregnant with her first daughter.
This time period is going to come under great scrutiny as prosecutors look to establish the role Nancy played in the kidnapping and captivity of Jaycee.
Was Nancy a willing captor of Jaycee - or just unable to disobey Phillip?
Psychologists will need to consider whether Nancy played a captor, or whether she herself was little more than a victim of Phillip.
Phillip Garrido's brother Ron said that she 'was a robot': 'She would do anything he asked. I told my wife: "It's no different from [Charles] Manson and those girls.'
As police continued to search the ramshackle property in northern California where Garrido held Jaycee, 29, and the two daughters he fathered by her, investigations were re-opened into the disappearance of at least three schoolgirls two decades ago.
Photos show that one of them, Michaela Garecht, bore an astonishing resemblance to Jaycee.
With the realisation that Garrido and his wife travelled 170 miles from their home to snatch Jaycee, then aged 11, off the street on her way to school, detectives are checking for possible links with dozens more missing girl cases.
Garrido's father has said his son's personality became warped after he was in a bad motorcycle crash and started taking LSD.
And yesterday, when asked if he thought his son could be capable of murder, Manuel Garrido said: 'I believe my son killed the prostitutes.'
'She must have known about Jaycee,' he said. 'She lived there all this time. She could have done something, but didn't.'
He said his ex-wife, who has had dementia for the last six years, was moved to a nursing home following the discovery of Jaycee and her two daughters a week ago.
Police investigating the 1998 murder of 15-year-old Lisa Norrell and ten prostitutes in the nearby town of Pittsburg in the 1990s were involved in the painstaking search of the Garridos' home over the weekend.

Anyone who tries to enter the home is now subject to arrest, Lee said.
On Friday Garrido and his wife pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and kidnapping.
Nancy's defence is likely to be that she was afraid of her husband, but detectives pointed out that Garrido spent five months in prison in 1993 on a parole violation, leaving his wife to watch guard over Jaycee, who was then 13.
As the probe widened, details continued to emerge about Jaycee's years imprisoned in Garrido's back garden.
Neighbours said she was never in shackles and, like her daughters Angel, 11, and Starlet, 15, appeared in awe of Garrido.
Cheyvonne Molino, who invited the girls to her daughter's 16th birthday party a fortnight ago, said they loved the Disney TV show Hannah Montana, while Jaycee spoke of wanting to be a fashion model.
She added: 'People make it seem like these little girls were living like wolves or jungle kids in the backyard dungeon. Perhaps that's it, but they didn't give that visual to me.'
Among the cold cases police may reopen is the disappearance of nine-year-old Michaela Garecht, who was kidnapped from a car park in Hawyard, about an hour's drive from the Garridos' home.
The schoolgirl was pulled into a car in November 1988, three months after Garrido was released from jail for rape.
Two other girls also went missing in the area around the time Jaycee was snatched.
One, 13-year-old Ilene Misheloff, vanished in January 1989 as she walked home from school on her way to an ice skating lesson.
Amanda Campbell, four, has not been seen since she disappeared in her home town of Fairfield in December 1991.

You know most of these so called “police/ parole officers” always have a chip on their shoulders, and even when they fail to do their jobs they appear arrogant like saying “what are you going to do”, let’s face it she who save herself, she was not save by the authorities. Does anyone believe that the authorities were investigating her disappearance? The car used in her kidnapping was in the backyard, the lazy ass cops didn’t even bother to go through the backyard when the information indicated that kids were living back there, they didn’t check local schools to see if the kids were going to school or even asked to see the kids, no report to child protective services, boy how lazy can you be and still pick up your public service check, not to mention the parole officers who failed to visit and find out where this freak was living and what he was doing, amazing, simply amazing.
