SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- A new report finds that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to properly supervise parolee Phillip Garrido and missed opportunities to
discover his alleged kidnapping victim.

The California Inspector General's Office released a summary of the report Wednesday on its Web site. The office planned an afternoon news conference to release the full report.

The inquiry was launched after Garrido and his wife Nancy were arrested for allegedly kidnapping Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive in his backyard for 18 years.

Questions arose about how Garrido managed to keep Dugard hidden for so long despite being monitered by parole officers because of a previous rape conviction.

The report also says the department failed to use GPS information and failed to refer Garrido for a mental health assessment.

The 29-year-old Dugard was reunited with her family in August.

Authorities say Garrido was under federal parole supervision and required to register as a sex offender when he allegedly snatched the 11-year-old Dugard off the road in 1991 from a rural South Lake Tahoe community.
