no one else in the neighborhood has them on their windows. reportedly it's to keep bad guys out, but reportedly it was to keep jaycee in. carl probyn is jaycee dugard's stepfather. he joins us this morning from orange, california. good morning to you, mr. probyn. >> how are you doing? >> i'm well. how are you doing? how is your family doing? >> everybody's doing great. i'm down here by myself. they're all up in northern california. >> tell me about that moment that you found out jaycee was alive and well. >> it was a total surprise. my daughter called me, and she said that my wife was going to call me in a come of minutes and she has news from the sheriff. and she called back in about ten minutes and said basically that they had found jaycee, and then she paused for a few seconds and said, she's alive. so we basically cried for five minutes, just lost it. >> what went through your mind? >> it's unbelievable. what a miracle this was after 18 years. i mean i had no idea after this long that we'd find her alive. i mean this is definitely a one-of-a-kind situation. and then she's healthy and, you know, just unbelievable. >> what was the reunion like between jaycee and her mother, your o ex-wife? >> well, i wasn't there, but i think they're pretty happy. you know, there's six of them all together, the two girls and jaycee, my wife, my daughter, and the sister-in-law. >> have you spoken to your ex-wife since her reunion? >> i have. >> and did -- >> she called last night. >> did anything surprise her about the way that jaycee looked or her behavior from seeing jaycee after so long? >> yes. she said jaycee looks like -- almost like when she was kidnapped. she looks very young, she looks very healthy. she told me that jaycee feels really guilty for bonding with this guy. she has a real guilt trip. >> hmm. what has disturbed you the most about what you have learned about her time in captivity? >> the way she was kept. the way she was kept in the backyard. i was hoping for a better scenario where maybe a couple took her because they couldn't have their own children or something, that she was, you know, had been in school, she had been raised by a couple. i wasn't expecting this ending, you know, being with this sex offender. >> have you heard if she ever thought about leaving and why she didn't? >> no. i've had no contact as far as that part of it. >> what do you fear most? >> jaycee is a very mellow girl. >> i'm sorry. what do you fear most now that she is back? >> i don't fear anything. i'm just anxious to see how we progrus with this. you know, the girls haven't been in school. they've never been to a doctor, a dentist. it's like -- it's just unreal, you know. >> will you embrace those two girls with her captor as part of your family? >> you bet. >> do you hold any resentment toward investigators in this case who for years focussed the spotlight on you? >> not really. they're just doing their job. i mean what are you going to do. i mean you just have to deal with it. >> are you satisfied -- >> i'm glad they were doing their job. i am. i mean i'm surprised that i -- like i told them, it was a man and a woman. it was a man and a woman. i said it was an '85 ford monarch, gray four-door, and it turns out they had the car in the backyard. i'm surprised i got it right. i was curious for years, like how o close was i, did i help e the case, you know, did i get the car right. and it turned out i got everything right. it's kind of a surprise. >> does part of you feel vindicated this morning? >> a little bit. i really wasn't worried about that part. i knew i was innocent. i was fighting to get her back. it wasn't a priority what people thought, if i was guilty or not guilty. i had to make a living, work, go on with my life. i really wasn't worried about other people. i knew fbi would put me through the wringer, and that was okay. >> but it did end your marriage, didn't it? >> not so much the stress to me, but the stress on her losing jaycee ended the marriage. you know, it wasn't between us. we never had a fight. we never had no problems. we're the best of friends right now. just losing jaycee, it changed her life. jaycee and terri were like twins. they were joined at the hip. when she lost jaycee, it just destroyed her. people can't believe how it destroys your life having somebody disappear and not knowing where they're at, whether they're alive, you know, what the situation is. it's just terrible. >> you're right. can't even imagine. what do you want for the two suspects, carl? >> i haven't thought much about it. naturally i want them to pay the total price. i want the woman to, you know, not do a plea bargain. i guess they basically have confessed to this, so there's not going to be a long trial. actually i got everything, you know. it's like i'm getting answers to my questions, got them back, they're healthy, and these people are captured. they've confessed. as long as it tooks, 18 years to solve this, it all ended real quickly, and everything is done. >> thank goodness it ended the way it did. carl probyn, thank you so much. >> you're quite welcome. >> now here's chris. thank you. jim watson was a sergeant with the el dora doe sheriff's department at the time of the investigation. he was the lead investigator. worked on case for 14 years until his retirement. good morning. how are you? >> good morning. i'm fine. >> your first reaction when you found that jaycee was found and was found alive. >> kind of a numb feeling and elation that i could finally say the case was closed. >> you worked on and off the case for 14 years. what did you find was the most frustrating aspect of this case? >> the ups and downs from the very first day we followed leads, we investigated suspects. several times we thought we had the suspects identified only to later find that they weren't, in fact, who we needed to find, and so there was emotional ups and downs that accompany that, along with the grief that the family was feeling. and i think that, you know, south lake tahoe is a small town. my wife worked at the school jaycee attended. my children went to school there. they had since gone on to middle school and high school, but there was that small town community relationship, and so something like the kidnapping of jaycee affected everyone in the town. >> what would you like to see happen to the couple now that they've confessed? >> you know, i just have to let that go. i don't know what's going to come of this case. i know that there's going to be numerous agencies that are going to be looking at these people in addition to the investigators from el dorado county. there's still a lot of work to be done to put this case together. and i just am glad that there is some resolution to the case. >> well, sergeant, we know a lot of these cases end in bad news. we're happy that this one for the team being has ended in good news. sergeant watson, appreciate the time. thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> ahead, we'll ask the question why do these children who have access to the outside world not run, not call for help. we're going to be speaking with ed smart whose daughter was kidnapped and held for 19 months. first we take you to california. a huge wildfire is closing in on the area's multi-million dollar hom homes. >> reporter: fires calmed down a little. these fires exploded. >> it's incredibly dry brush and dry air. >> in this exclusive town planes took off and flew up a canyon, taking several structures with it even though it was practically on the ocean's edge, the fire tore through tinder-dry brush. thousands were ordered to leave their homes. >> they were ordered to ee evacuate. >> there was no let-up around the rest of the area. a fire that was burning in the an jell less forest jumped a boulder line and started creeping down the hill. homeowners at the bottom started evacuating there as well. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. >> all right. let's get an update on the weather conditions.sss here's dave price with a weather check. >> here's the story. it's going to rain very hard across southern california. highs in the 80s. you're talking about the 90s and 100s once again. the winds are going to be the same as yesterday but there's going to be some more moisture moving in and clouds rolling in. no rain but higher levels of humidity which may just help. good news is the temperatures are going to be dropping over the weekend, probably by a good ten degrees or more from what we saw yesterday. now, as far as today's weather, let's take a look. danny, really not well formed. the good news, it's weaker. the bad news is it's going to be hugging the coastline a little more closely. what we're going to be seeing as far as later tonight, the rough surf, minor beach erosion, gail-force winds very close. it's really going to wallop places like the eastern shore of long island. there's rain in the south and southeast as well. keep in mind they're not connected with danny. so as you see those washouts, especially today into early tomorrow, not connected with it at all. then you'll see that combination of rain and moisture. we'll talk more about 7:30 about all of the situations and the rest of >> that's a quick look at your records. look at the temperatures in idaho. we'll talk more in just about a half hour. folks?
