ANTIOCH, Calif. (CBS13/AP) ― The father of a man suspected of kidnapping a girl 18 years ago and hiding her in his backyard told CBS13 that his son is "absolutely out of his head."

Manuel Garrido said Friday that his son Phillip Garrido fell into a bad crowd when he was younger and started taking LSD.

The elder Garrido said the drugs changed him from a good boy, whom everybody loved, to a crazy person.

"He's crazy. He's out of his head," Manuel said. "He was on LSD and he had a very serious motorcycle wreck and hit his head."

Manuel Garrido says he hasn't seen his son in years and has never been to the house where Phillip Garrido allegedly lived with the missing girl Jaycee Lee Dugard, their two children and his wife, Nancy Garrido.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido are being held for investigation of kidnapping and conspiracy. Phillip Garrido also has been accused of various sex crimes, and authorities have begun investigating possible connections with unsolved murders of prostitutes in the area.
