kidnapped and taken to a mini storage unit

In 1977 Phillip Garrido pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and rape of Katherine Callaway...who has publicly identified herself as his victim.

Callaway was kidnapped in South Lake Tahoe and taken to a mini storage unit which then stood in the 3000 block of Mill Street in Reno. She later told the Washoe County Grand Jury while driving Garrido talked about Jesus a lot, said he was married and he was doing this because of a "sexual urge...a fantasy....and that he had done in twice before."

Investigators say the storage unit was outfitted with a bed, a movie projector, pornography, sexual devices, drugs and stage lights. He lived a few blocks away. "It was set up for this specific purpose,: says Michael Malloy, the then Deputy District Attorney assigned to the case.

Callaway says Garrido sexually assaulted her repeatedly over a 5 to 6 hour period that only ended when an alert Reno policeman decided to check why a light was on in the unit.
