Victim Jaycee Lee Dugard, now aged 29, walked into a police station in California on Wednesday. Horrifying details of her ordeal at the hands of her alleged captor, convicted rapist Phillip Garrido, began to emerge yesterday.

Last night, Jaycee's stepdad Carl Probyn, who witnessed the abduction in May 1991, said: "I want these people to go down. "I said to [estranged wife] Terry, she's not going to get a free ride, this woman. I don't care if she says that he made her do it. You got to promise me - no deals. That was all I insisted on. "I want everybody involved in this to go down hard after the cr*p they put us through." Probyn said he will never forget the moment Jaycee was snatched. She was taken as she walked to a school bus stop on a quiet street in Meyers, El Dorado County, 180miles from Antioch. Probyn watched from the family garage 200 yards away as a car stopped and she was snatched. He chased it on a bicycle but the car sped off. He revealed that he cried all night after hearing she had been found. He said: "I'm her stepdad. I was the last person to see her at 8.30 in the morning. I was a major suspect. I knew that.

Campus police called state cops, who ordered Garrido to check in with his parole office. Suspicious Garrido arrived there with wife Nancy, Allissa and the two children. But officials there became suspicious and called police, who discovered Allissa was really Jaycee. The mother and her daughters appeared to be in good health but Kollar added that "living in a backyard for 18 years had taken its toll" on Jaycee. The children had never been to school or a doctor, he added. Garrido was convicted of rape and kidnap in Nevada in 1971. CAPTION(S): CAPTOR: Garrido STUNNED stun tr.v. stunned, stun·ning, stuns 1.
