Agents Spoke to Jaycee Dugard But Didn't Follow Up, Says Report

In a report prepared by the state attorney general's office obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press under the California Public Records Act, Dugard, now 30, said parole agents spoke with her during her captivity, and with the older of the two daughters she bore to Garrido.
Garrido has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and raping Dugard, who was 11 when she disappeared.
The document was prepared by the attorney general's office and sent to lawmakers in advance of their vote last week to settle with the Dugard family for $20 million.
Dugard and her daughters, ages 15 and 12, claimed that state parole agents failed to properly supervise Garrido starting in 1999 and did not follow up on reports and observations that might have led to their rescue.
They finally surfaced last August, after living for nearly two decades in a compound in the backyard of Garrido's house in the eastern San Francisco Bay-area city of Antioch.
