Jaycee Dugard : Not Interested In Seeing Biological Father "OUCH"

San Francisco (June 17) - Jaycee Dugard, who resurfaced last year after being kidnapped 18 years ago, says she has no interest in having a relational with the man who claims to be her biological father.(Kenneth Slayton, above photograph)

Kenneth Slayton, Jaycee's apparent Biologoical father, has said he hopes to establish a relationship with her. Dogard said she doesn't want to meet him, but reserved the right to change her mind later.

Almost immediately after Dugard was found in August in northern California, Slayton publicly announced he was her father and retained a lawyer to help him establish his paternity.

Dugard mother, Terry Probyn, has never denied Slayton was the father. She said she told Slayton about the pregnancy and about his daughter's birth, but he showed no interest . He was also told by authorities when Dugard was kidnapped , the statement said.

"At no point did Mr. Slayton offer any assistance beyond what was requested of him while Jaycee was missing," the statement said. "It's now jaycee's turn to express her feelings and she has no interest in Mr. Slayton at this time in her life.

Slayton's attorney Gloris Allred said Wednesday that they have no comment.

Last October, Slayton said he had never met Jaycee because he did not know she existed until he briefly became a suspect in her 1991 kidnapping.

Outside of a court hearing regarding the suspects in Dugard's abduction, Slayton said he hoped to forge a relationship with Dugard. He said he attented the hearing for Phillip and Nancy Garrido, who have pleaded not guilty in the case, because "Jaycee Dugard needs a father. She needs a masculine role model."

Jaycee Dugard has been living privately in California with her mother and the two daughters she bore with Phillip Garrido while in captivity.

My spin on this long running saga: Where was you Kenneth Slayton when Jaycee was missing ??? Kenneth, you did a disappearing act as soon as the police decided you wasn't the one that kidnapped Jaycee. Did you ever think about her , if she was dead or alive??? As soon as she was found you came from beneath the slime and filth to see if you could cash in on the money...well we're glad Jaycee decided to not see you, old Kenneth, too little too late. when will you cash-cows learn you have to pull yourself up by your boot-straps and make your own way. Folks ,there seem to be a trend to people wanting to cash in on someone else misfortune.

One day after police from several local departments ended their search at the house where her daughter was held captive for over 18 years, Terry Probyn, the mother of South Lake Tahoe kidnapping victim Jaycee Lee Dugard, has released a statement through the family's new attorney McGregor Scott. Probyn says in the statement that, "All of us are doing very well under the circumstances...We hope that our story focuses attention on all of the children still missing, and on their need to be found...As Jaycee knows, miracles can happen." In addition, Probyn says that "Jaycee, her daughters, and I are grateful for everyone's generosity, kindness, and good wishes these past few weeks. Thank you."
Since her release from captivity, Dugard has been with Probyn, her daughters, and other family members in an undisclosed location in El Dorado County, California.

According to new media reports, Jaycee has told investigators that her alleged kidnapper and rapist Phillip Garrido did not sexually molest her daughters while they were held in a backyard compound at his home in Antioch, California. Garrido fathered the daughters with Dugard, who are aged 15 and 11. In a column in The San Francisco Chronicle, writers Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross quoted an anonymous law enforcement source as saying that Garrido "didn't touch her kids." In addition, the writers also say that Dugard told officials that Garrido hasn't sexually approached her "in years."

Her stepfather, Carl Probyn, is speaking out on what has been happening to her now that she is away from Phillip and Nancy Garrido. Probyn says that Dugard's exposure to the outside world is still extremely limited, as officials do not want her memory to be tainted by the media. Therefore, she is not allowed to watch TV, read a newspaper, or listen to the radio. In addition, law enforcement authorities are debriefing her so she has the proper information. Probyn also says that Dugard and her daughters, Angel and Starlit, are "going a little stir crazy," but they will stay in hiding for as long as necessary so they can deal with their ordeal in the healthiest way possible.

Now, a man named Kenneth Slayton is asking Dugard to take a paternity test to confirm that he his her birth father. Slayton had a brief relationship with Dugard's mother, and says that the FBI has identified him as Dugard's father. Slayton says, "Now that she has been found, I want her to know that our hearts are open to her and we long to be the loving, supportive, and normal family to her and her children..." He also says that he has not heard from Dugard or anyone associated with her since she was released.

Meanwhile, Phillip and Nancy Garrido, have been charged with 29 felony counts including kidnapping and rape, and are in jail awaiting trial. The search at the Garrido home was conducted to search for clues in connection with the disappearances of two other girls abducted before Dugard--Michaela Garecht and Ilene Misheloff.

Another weird story has emerged from the past of Phillip Garrido. A friend and former business client of Garrido's, who spoke to CNN anonymously, says that Garrido "feels he can speak to you and me and everyone else using this box." The 'box' that his friend is alluding to is a black box with jacks on the outside of it that can be used to plug in headphones. He apparently speaks to God through the box. His friend added that Garrido "was a whack job, but he was a whack job who seemed like he had a really good heart."
Ironically, a few days before his arrest, Garrido delivered some documents to the FBI that bragged about his black box. He believed in the power of his black box so much that he wanted to have it patented. Garrido, and his wife Nancy are being held on $30 million bond.

Jaycee's attorney said today that she will testify at the trial of her alleged abductors. The attorney, McGregor Scott, said, "There's no question that she knows that terrible and wrong things were done to her and the people who did those things must be held accountable...she understands and she appreciates that she will testify."
