For his part, Garrido called a local television station from El Dorado County Jail on Thursday and told them he had done a "disgusting thing" at the beginning of the case, but swore that when everyone knew the full "heartwarming story," they would be "impressed" at how he had turned his life around.

He said he loved the daughters he'd had with Jaycee. The eldest was born when Jaycee was 14.

"Those two children, those two girls, they slept in my arms every night since birth. . . . I never touched them," he told reporter Walt Gray of KCRA-TV. He started to cry.

...Garrido's downfall began Tuesday, when he took his daughters to the University of California at Berkeley to distribute religious literature. (Garrido lists himself as affiliated with an otherwise unknown church called "God's Desire.") An officer thought the interaction between the man and the girls was "suspicious," authorities said. In doing a background check, the officer learned that Garrido was on parole as part of a 1971 rape and kidnapping conviction.
