were later found on both her and Garrido’s clothing.
    Later that morning, Washoe County Superior Court Judge Beemer signed a search warrant for Phillip Garrido’s mini-warehouse.
    “There is probable cause to believe,” read the warrant, “that certain evidence of the crimes of forcible rape, the infamous crime against nature, kidnapping, and possession of a controlled substance, are locked and hidden within a certain mini-warehouse storage unit located at 3245 Mill Street, Reno, Washoe County, Nevada; you are therefor [sic] directed to search the said mini-warehouse unit for the following items.” The list of items included:

a torn red satin sheet,

a grey fur or fake fur cover or bedspread,

an electric vibrator with three attachments and a package for it,

disposable women’s douche materials,

a jar of Vaseline,

two bottles of wine and glasses,

a pair of scissors,

a pair of women’s beige panties,

a silver colored trash can and an electric heater,

a movie projector,

movie film,

colored stage lights,

a red container, appearing to be part of a kerosene-type lantern,

handcuffs,

a piece of white tape,

a women’s earring, described roughly as a gold ball with a post,

a dark coat or blanket,

a belt or strap,

a women’s size 6 right foot brown sandal,

a multi-colored knee sock,

a long sleeved tee shirt with a hood, navy blue and black,

samples of pubic hair,

samples of possible semen stains,

and a glass vial, approximately 2" high, containing a substance believed to be hashish.
    At 2:30 P.M ., Detective DeMaranville and three other Reno investigators arrived at 3245 Mill Street, where they met FBI agent Riggs and members of the Reno CSI Unit to conduct the search.
    “I went to his mini-warehouse,” recalled DeMaranville. “It was all planned and he had it all set up. It looked like a scene from a porno flick. He had stage lights, and I’m not talking about bright lights, I’m talking about different colored lights—red, green, yellow. On and off. There was a bed. Marital sex toys. He actually used a pair of scissors to shave her pubic hair with. He’s one sick puppy.”
    The CSI technicians carefully photographed the outside of Unit 39, before moving inside to look for evidence to support Katie Callaway’s allegations.
    “I found the handcuffs,” lead detective DeMaranville later testified. “A piece of tape, the tape was silver in color. And found some small baggies, containing a substance believed to be marijuana. And a pill bottle containing a substance believed to be hashish.”
    The investigators also found a hash pipe, a roach clip and burnt cigarette rolling papers, and seized samples of pubic hair and semen stains found on the mattress.
    A few blocks away, another team of Reno police officers were searching Phillip and Christine Garrido’s Market Street house. Earlier, Sergeant C. Nearpass and Detective Penegor had interviewed Chris Garrido at Harrah’s Casino, where she had given written permission for her home to be searched.
    She claimed no knowledge of her husband’s activities the night before, as she’d been working the swing shift. But she believed he had driven her car to South Lake Tahoe.
    When asked if Phillip owned handcuffs, she admitted once buying him a pair at a Reno pawn shop, saying she had not seen them for a while.
    Chris then accompanied the officers to 1855 Market Street, Reno, taking them on a tour of the residence.
    “There were numerous pornographic books and magazines . . . on the bookshelf,” Sergeant Nearpass later wrote in his official report.
    But when the officer discovered a scrapbook hidden inside a clothing drawer in the bedroom, she asked him not to open it, as it contained explicit Polaroid photographs her husband had taken of her vaginal area. She asked the officer to respect her privacy.
    “Sgt. Nearpass did not look in the scrapbook,” read his report, “as she stated that all the pictures were of just her.”
