Live Blog from the Anchor Desk 9/2/09
We’ve heard a lot about Phillip Garrido, the convicted sex offender who fathered two children with Jaycee Dugard, but his wife Nancy is also charged with Jaycee’s kidnapping and rape.
Also tonight part two of Drew Griffin’s investigation into the black market for human organs. Tonight you’ll see just how desperate some people are for Kidneys and we’ll introduce you to a man who preys on that desperation.

The public is harsh on this young man who ultimately was hit first. I believe he needs to understand that hitting women is not exceptable however Rhianna needs to be a lady and keep her hands to herself as well because if she didn't hit him first he would have received jail time.
Larry wasted his time with Chis and his mother. They never opened up,too much frowning at just about every question. He is young and will do it again.
Althouhg i am certainly dubious of Any explanation that the wife may have rer: insanity, etc., i feel we need to wait and see the Full report on her before we can really know what her involvement is and why.
Still, after 18 yrs., i find i very hard to swallow that she did not know "right from wrong".
Chris Brown was posturing for the camera tonight on Larry King Live. He is not who he pretends to be with his enablers, Mark Geragos and his mother flanking him. He hit her before, he would hit her or another woman again. I would be willing to bet he has displayed this temper before. He sounded very uneducated and frankly-dumb.
She's just as guilty as her husband!
Violence is learned behavior and is not learned over night.
Why is sex offenders let out in public to keep hurting our kids, we need better laws .
Hello everyone. It's no surprise that Nancy Garrido is now trying to play the victim. That in itself is sick.
Lisa Bloom rocks...
N. Garrido is not getting away with it. She just can't come out now and say that she never expected that from him and that she's a victim. Please...
Anderson, It sounds like Garrido's wife sought him out. I wonder what her background was like to be attracted to someone like him?
Even though she married him 'knowing' he was a convicted rapist, I'm sure our boy Garrido lied to her about his crimes.
In her mug shot Mrs. Garrido looks pathetic and victimized, but when they took her out in her cuffs and orange suit, she looked quite worldly. No victim there.
Regarding Chris Brown and Rhianna I feel there is something being covered up. Rhianna's not speaking about the incident and Chris Brown refusing to comment about the actually events leading up to the assault, one can't help but wonder if under age drinking was taking place or drug use. It also seems that their relationship had a history of hostility and aggresion within it.
people are really coming down on Chris if he was any other person it would not be this serious. We are Jesus Christ we are not to judge. Love you Rihaana and Chris.
Who goes to prison to meet a man? Come on...wacko from the start
Stop smiling and show some remorse Chris Brown and maybe you'd be more believable.
Hello guys
Good evening everyone.
I have searched this site and cannot find the time when part one and part two of the black market for human organs will be shown.
"He who lives without sin cast the first stone"
Chris brown made a mistake who hasn't?
Big Hello to everyone tonight
Why is sex offenders let out in public to keep hurting our kids, we need better laws to keep them lock away for a long time.
Her Being the captor while her husband is in jail, proves she is not the victim.
Chris Brown would be wise to avoid interviews. Can't remember what happened that day, huh? Or the 2 previous incidents in probation report? Did Larry King sound convinced ??
Good evening all. I don't see how Mrs. Monster is a victim, she chose to marry this man and accepted his lifestyle. She made a conscience decision to either ignore his activity or to join him in it. Hardly a victim.
No way, she could have help the young lady get away when she was child.
He should be put in front of a fireing squaD
Chris Brown was pathetic, all dressed up in a bow tie and nothing to say.
I think the only person he's trying to "respect" is himself.
Why is sex offenders let out in public to keep hurting our kids we need better laws to keep them lock away for a long time.
Sarah in FL,
I agree with you, Sarah.... I don't buy his story either, too!
Everyone makes mistakes but it takes a man to learn from them. I support and pray for Chris Brown. He is a great entertainer and can overcome this situation. Be blessed!
It’s amazing how the defense lawyers twist the facts to defend their clients. Soon the blame will be children.
Thats alot of sex offenders to keep track of... now we know what the problem is.
Let the Rihanna & Chris Brown thing go, I believe his apology, and I can't wait until his new album comes out. I will always be Chris Brown number 1 fan, no matter what happens.
No wonder no one was noticing anything, it is a neighborhood of sex offenders.
Hello Anderson, Erica, & Team 360.
Hellow fellow bloggers.
This Garrido story just gets more and more creepy.
Evening all....
Garrido's should be put under the jail
and I'm sorry but I don't believe Chris Brown at all.
I dont buy that Nancy Garriso is a victim...I feel that she's trying to bargain her punishment, now that they're caught. She is as guilty as her husband.
What did she expect when she married P. Garrido? She knew exactly that she was getting marry to a raper!
Maybe I am a cynic but I do not believe the wife, I think she is a freak just like Garrido. Makes me sick!
Poor Chris Brown ...he told his mother what happened but he doesn't remember anything.... yeah right
hey are both manic and they should pay for what they did.
That is very distrubing to see this who woman kidnapped Jaycee.... I am really outrage at her! what was she thinking????? I hope they are in jail forever.
Victim?
This is absurd! If Nancy Garrido is a victim, how can we classify children who were with her and away from their families?
I don't buy Chris Brown's apology. No one should beat anyone....
Nancy G knew exactly what she was getting into when she married that creep.
Good evening, everyone. Interesting developments in the Jaycee case. Further details only make it more disturbing.
good evening Anderson and all of you fabulous bloggers!!!!
