Searches began immediately after Dugard's disappearance, but no reliable leads were generated, even though several people witnessed the kidnapping.

The unusual behavior of the trio sparked an investigation that led Garrido's parole officer, Edward Santos Jr., to order Garrido to take the two girls to a parole office in Concord, California, on August 26. Garrido was accompanied by a woman who was eventually identified as Dugard.
