SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California's inspector general plans to release the results of a two-month inquiry into the handling of the Jaycee Dugard's kidnapping case.

Wednesday's release might answer a major question: How did suspect Phillip Garrido allegedly manage to keep her hidden from authorities for 18 years even as he was being monitored by parole officers because of a previous rape conviction.

Authorities say Garrido was under federal parole supervision and required to register as a sex offender when he allegedly snatched Dugard in 1991.

The 29-year-old Dugard was reunited with her family in August.
