Jaycee Dugard is in good health, the office said in a statement, but provided no details.
Jimmy Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, confirmed that a man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the case but could provide no other details. CNN affiliates have reported that Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife, Nancy Garrido, have been charged.
Phillip Garrido is a registered sex offender and listed on the Department of Justice's Megan's Law page because of a previous forcible rape charge.
An officer at the Contra Costa County Jail in Marinez, California, told CNN that the two had been at the jail and both were ordered held on $1 million bail. The officer said the pair was no longer in the jail but that Phillip Garrido had been booked on charges of kidnapping, rape, lewd behavior, sexual penetration and conspiracy. Nancy Garrido was booked on charges of kidnapping and conspiracy.
Earlier Thursday, Carl Probyn, Dugard's stepfather, told CNN that an FBI agent had called his wife, Terry, on Wednesday afternoon to tell her that Dugard had been found.
The girl was last seen walking to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, California, on June 10, 1991, according to the FBI.
At the time, "it was reported that a vehicle occupied by two individuals drove up to Jaycee Dugard and abducted her in view of her stepfather," the El Dorado County sheriff's office said Thursday.
Despite extensive investigations, no sign of her or her possible abductors was ever found, authorities said.
Probyn said Dugard walked into a police station in Northern California earlier Wednesday. He said the FBI agent told his wife that authorities had "Jaycee and the people who she was with."
He said no further details were provided, and that the conversation with the FBI agent was brief.
"It was short and sweet, and 'Can you fly up here?'" he said.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's office has scheduled a news conference for 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET) to discuss the case.
Probyn said his wife, who is flying Thursday from Southern California to meet with Dugard, spoke to her on Wednesday.
"Jaycee remembers everything," he said. "They talked back and forth and she had the right answers to all my wife's questions."
He said, "I'm feeling great! ... It's like winning the lotto."
Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said the reappearance of Dugard is "absolutely huge."
"One of the things that we preach to searching families all the time ... is that even in these long-term cases there's hope," he said.
"Even in these long-term cases ... it's important that we not let the world forget."Source Here
