Hogan-Canseco Showdown Looms

Posted by Adam Butler on July 1, 2010

Hogan, 60, has had lots of physical problems, including a recent hip replacement. But, I would still put my money on Hogan. After all, Danny Bonaduce fought Canseco to a draw.

Dugard vanished in 1991 at the age of 11. She was found in August 2009, living in a shed in the Antioch, California, backyard of Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender who had been on parole since January 1988. Investigators say Garrido fathered two children with Dugard during her captivity. He and his wife, Nancy, are charged with 29 felony counts in the case. Both have pleaded not guilty.

In a report issued in November, the state inspector general’s office found the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to properly keep tabs on Garrido or properly supervise the officers assigned to his case.
