More details are emerging in the Jaycee Lee Dugard case about Phillip Garrido’s first victim. Garrido was sentenced to 50 years in prison in the late 1970’s for the rape of a casino worker. Garrido’s victim has now identified herself as Katie Callaway Hall. In an interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, she revealed details of her ordeal at the hands of monster Phillip Garrido.
According to Katie Callaway Hall, Phillip Garrido entrapped her by claiming to need help with his broken-down car. She gave him a ride to the supposed location of the car, where Garrdio assaulted her by slamming her head into the steering wheel, grabbing her keys away, and handcuffing her. Creepy Phil then stated, “I just want a piece of ass. Be good and I won’t hurt you.”
Phillip Garrido then used a leather strap to tie Katie Callaway’s head to her knees and threw a coat over her head. He later tapped her mouth to prevent her from calling out and drove her to a mini-storage locker he was renting.
According to Katie Callaway Hall the drugged up Garrido had a faraway look in his eyes as he repeatedly raped her. ”He’d look at me like I was a thing, like I wasnt’ there.”
During the harrowing ordeal, Phillip Garrido tried to get Katie Callaway Hall to join in his sick fantasies. ”Think about if this was roman times, and you had to do everything the man said.”
The storage locker was a shrine to Phillip Garrido’s sick fantasies. It was set up as a combination sex palace and prison for the unhappy women he intended to abduct, a foreshadowing of the 18 year ordeal that was to befall Jaycee Dugard.
A lucky break saved Katie Callaway Hall from further depredations at the hand of Phillip Garrido. A passing police car spotted Hall’s car parked suspiciously outside of the storage locker, and when the officer investigated, a naked Hall quickly ran out of the door. Garrido immediately confessed his crime and was later sentenced to 50 years in federal prison, of which he served 10 before being paroled.
Shockingly, even after serving 10 years in prison for his rape of Katie Hall, the monster Garrido wasn’t done with her. Soon after his parole in 1988, he showed up at the South Lake Tahoe casino where she was working. Not content with merely stalking her, he tried to engage Katie Calloway Hall in conversation, asking her how long she had worked at the casino.
Now that Phillip Garrido is finally off the streets for good following his arrest for his crimes against Jaycee Dugard, Katie Hall is profoundly relieved. ”Now I don’t have to stay under the radar, anymore. Now I don’t have to be looking over my shoulder.”
