There is also a striking resemblance between Nancy's "robotic" mindlessness and the mindlessness presented by the two daughters, who had never gone to school, never seen a doctor and were rarely seen outside their sound-proofed tent. There seems to be no doubt that Nancy's compliance towards her husband was extreme.
Phillip Garrido's brother described Nancy as a "robot" who was "under his spell" and would do "anything he asked." Neighbours describe Nancy as very quiet, depressed and anxious looking, and in the shadow of her husband, deferring to him when asked any questions.
Whatever the ultimate verdict, Nancy is named in the 29 felony charges, including forcible rape, that have been made against her husband and herself. The dispute now is whether Nancy was a victim of what Maines describes as her husband's "suppressive control" or whether she was a willing accomplice. The 'family' consists of Jaycee Lee Dugard's two daughters, 15-year-old Starlet and 11-year-old Angel, fathered by Phillip Garrido and raised as if they were Nancy's children and Jaycee Lee Dugard was their older sister. The 'circumstances' Maines refers to are the discovery last week that Phillip and Nancy Garrido had abducted 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard in South Lake Tahoe in 1991, and held her captive in ramshackle tents and sheds at the bottom of their Californian garden. She's distraught, frightened, and appeared to be a little lost." It seems strange given the circumstances but that's it. In his first 90-minute interview with Nancy Garrido, the wife of Phillip Garrido, her lawyer Gilbert Maines reported: "She has said to me she misses the girls, that she loves them and her feeling was they had become a family.
