Police in Pittsburg, CA are investigating alleged Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapper Phillip Garrido in connection with a series of prostitute murders. According to the Sacramento Bee, Garrido is being looked at as a person of interest in murders that occurred in the Bay Area in the early 90s. Many of the victims from that spree were found in an industrial area where Garrido worked at the time.
It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Garrido is a viable suspect in these murder cases. He has the requisite history of sexualized violence as well as an apparent psychotic, religious mania often present in the sorts of serial killers who have committed similar crimes in the past.

It is NOT easy to get a legal warrant simply because someone is a convicted sex offender, the law requires that evidence enough for probable cause that a crime has been committed be ACCEPTED by a judge, who then can decide on WHATEVER BASIS HE WANTS, whether the warrant is issued. I, personally, have presented, along with the prosecutor, many, many cases of suspected abductions, abuse, etc, judged by all of us to be watertight, only to have a judge decide that no warrant is "deserved".

Unless, of course, your neighbor seems to think you may have a gun----legal or not---somewhere on your property.
Even if you are an upstanding citizen who threatens no one.
The SWAT teams are only too happy to show up.
Where would she have been the last 18 years if her stepfather had been armed when he watched her being taken?
Where would this creep be now if all his victims had been armed?
Think about it.

It is almost as if nutcases like this are freed to prey upon the public in order to keep people paranoid.
