[ applause ] so explain to me how did philip garrido come to you? philip garrido came i was an events manager at u.c. berkeley with the police department. and so he came into the office in an attempt to get a permit for an event that he wanted to host on campus. and what about him i mean, what was that gut intuition you had? he was peculiar in and of himself, but the fact that he had two young daughters with him
