New videos released showing Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapper luring girl into van

(CBS/AP) SAN FRANCISCO - Disturbing new video shows Nancy Garrido, the wife of convicted kidnapper and rapist Phillip Garrido luring a young girl into the couple's van, asking her to do the splits and then videotaping her two years after they kidnapped 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard.

The videos were released Tuesday by El Dorado District Attorney Vern Pierson, along with a new report highlighting failures in the criminal justice system. These mistakes allowed Phillip Garrido to roam free despite warnings, and snatch Dugard off a street in South Lake Tahoe in 1991. He held her for 18 years, raped her and fathered two of her children.

Pierson said "law enforcement failed to see Phillip Garrido for what and who he truly is...evil."

In the 1993 video, the voice of Nancy Garrido and a girl can be heard. Nancy Garrido asks the girl to do the splits while she videotapes it.

"That's it. Can you go all the way down?" Nancy says to the girl.

The girl says she can go down farther.

"Let me see, I bet you can go down really easy," Nancy Garrido said.

When the girl notices a light on the camera, she asks Nancy Garrido about it.

"I don't know anything about that camera," says Nancy, quickly changing the subject.

In a separate interrogation video, Nancy Garrido told a detective she made 10 to 20 of these videos for her husband.

Phillip Garrido received a sentence of 431 years to life and his wife Nancy was sentenced to 36 years to life for holding Dugard captive for 18 years and repeatedly raping her.

The two defendants pleaded guilty in April to kidnapping and rape under a deal that called for the sentences the pair received today.

The deal was designed, in part, to spare Dugard and her children from having to testify at a trial.

Dugard was reunited with her family in August 2009 after her whereabouts were discovered during a meeting with a parole agent who had summoned Phillip Garrido to his office.

The meeting came after two University of California police employees grew suspicious when Garrido showed up at the campus with the two girls he fathered with Dugard and asked for a permit to hold a religious event.
