“ HE’S A SICK PUPPY ”
On Wednesday, November 24, the Nevada State Journal reported Phillip Garrido’s dramatic arrest. Under the headline “Victim Freed: Man Arrested in Kidnap,” the four-paragraph story said Garrido was under investigation for kidnapping, rape and infamous crimes against nature. It reported that the FBI was also investigating Garrido, as the crime crossed the California-Nevada border.
At 9:50 A.M ., Phillip Garrido was brought into an interview room at Reno Police Department. A few minutes later, Detective Dan DeMaranville and Officer Carolyn Carlon entered and advised him of his rights. After reading and signing the Miranda sheet, Garrido asked to see a lawyer before answering any questions, explaining he did not “understand legalities.”
The interview was then terminated to allow him to fill out an Admonition & Waiver of Rights form. And where it asked if he wished to talk now, he wrote, “No Sir, I want to talk to a lawyer first.”
But within a few hours Phillip Garrido had changed his mind and agreed to be interviewed. He was brought back to the Reno Police Department, where Detective DeMaranville was waiting in an interview room. Just before he had arrived, the detective had learned a minute quantity of LSD had been found in a vial seized at the warehouse.
“He was a nice-looking young man,” recalled the detective in 2009. “He was tall and well built, not a bad-looking guy at all.”
At the start of the two-hour interview, Phillip Garrido was uncooperative, refusing to answer any questions.
“So we just talked for a while,” recalled DeMaranville. “We had a conversation. I tried to relate to him and get him to like me.”
Initially the detective made general conversation, asking if he was married and what he did for a living. Slowly, Garrido began to relax, enthusiastically discussing his music and his ambitions to be a rock star.
“I got him to talk to me,” said DeMaranville, “and then I just told him, ‘Phillip, it’s time to fess up. You got caught in the mini-storage unit with a naked woman, who says you kidnapped her from Lake Tahoe. Come on. Be a man and let’s talk about this. Are you ready to talk to me now?’ ”
After Garrido nodded his head, the detective asked why someone as handsome as him needed to resort to kidnap and rape.
“He said, ‘That’s the only way I can get my sexual satisfaction,’ ” recalled DeMaranville. “And I think he likes the power. I think he likes the control.”
Garrido appeared contrite, saying he regretted what had happened. But the seasoned detective distrusted Garrido, suspecting that he was just trying to play him.
“Well, of course he appeared remorseful,” explained DeMaranville. “But I think a lot of that was because he got caught. And he was trying to put the spin on me and that’s fine. I let him think he was.”
At one point in the interrogation, Garrido broke down in tears, saying he hadn’t meant to do it but couldn’t help himself.
“He was actually crying,” said the detective. “I had my right arm around his shoulder and his head was on my shoulder and chest. I wanted the guy to like me. I wanted him to talk to me. So that’s the name of the game. But I think a lot of it was put on.”
Detective DeMaranville came away from the interview thinking Phillip Garrido was sly, devious and calculating.
“He’s actually pretty intelligent too,” said DeMaranville. “He’s a con artist. But the bottom line is I don’t think he’s crazy. He’s got a problem and I think he knows it and he doesn’t care.”
And after spending two hours with Garrido, the lead detective was certain that Katie Callaway would never have got out of the warehouse
