The woman who was kidnapped as a child, held hostage and forced to father two children by her captor could have been freed three years ago, police have confessed.

In a press conference in Sacramento tonight, police admitted that they received a 911 emergency call in 2006 informing them that convicted rapist Phillip Garrido had tents in his backyard with children who appeared to be living in them.

However the deputy sheriff who took the call did not know that Garrido was a sexual predator - and the chance to set Miss Duggard and her two children free slipped by.
