Doctor: 'Michelle Michaud is a victim' in sex killing

Doctor: 'Michelle Michaud is a victim'
By Glenn Chapman
Tri-Valley Herald
OAKLAND -- The abduction and slaying of a young Pleasanton woman in
1997 demonstrated Michelle Michaud's subjugation to the will of the
boyfriend who allegedly joined her in the sex crime, a psychiatrist
testified Monday.
Dr. Pablo Stewart made the connection between 22-year-old Vanessa Lei
Samson and her accused killers while maintaining Michaud was a
traumatized woman with a propensity for subservience.
"The unfortunate, terrible events that happened with Vanessa Samson
are, were, the latest example of the domination and control Miss
Michaud was subjected to," Stewart said.
Michaud and 41-year-old James Daveggio are on trial on charges they
kidnapped the college student off a Pleasanton street, then sexually
tormented and strangled her.
Being a prostitute as a young girl and abused by boyfriends warped
Michaud's personality, Stewart said. Stewart diagnosed Michaud as
suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder akin to "shell shock"
seen in soldiers returning from wars.
"Fighting, resisting, causes you more difficulty than going along,"
Stewart said of people with the disorder.
Stewart was called to the stand by Michaud's attorneys, Barry Karl and
Spencer Strellis. Assistant District Attorney Angela Backers asked the
psychiatrist whether he had seen Michaud's memoirs, which the
43-year-old woman wrote in 1977 and titled "My escapades in a massage
parlor." Stewart said he hadn't.
The journal introduction promises lessons in sadism, masochism and
domination, Backers said as she read excerpts in court.
"It sounds exciting and very dangerous, going into a room with a
stranger, having sex and getting paid for it," a 19-year-old Michaud
reportedly wrote.
Michaud also wrote that she dared not tell her father about being a
prostitute, because he wouldn't approve. Among the factors behind
Stewart's diagnosis were Michaud's assertions her father had sex with
her and put her to work as a prostitute when she was 16. Stewart said
he did not try to corroborate points by speaking with those accused of
mistreating Michaud.
"It doesn't matter how she got into it," Stewart said. "Michelle
Michaud is a victim in the prostitution."
Backers recounted testimony of young women who told jurors in Alameda
County Superior Court about being snared and sexually assaulted by
Michaud and Daveggio. The prosecutor highlighted parts where Michaud
was described as sharing power with Daveggio, and sometimes being in
charge.
Stewart said none of the new information, including a letter Michaud
once wrote vouching for her father's sterling character, changed his
opinion about Michaud.
Daveggio's attorney, Michael Berger, prompted Stewart to concede the
disorder would not prevent Michaud from taking control of a situation
or being an active participant. Attorneys Berger and Michael Ciraolo
have based their defense of Daveggio on the argument Backers hasn't
proven he joined Michaud in a lascivious and lethal attack.
Berger and Ciraolo told Judge Larry Goodman they intend to call at
least one witness, apparently to speak about Michaud stalking and
influencing Daveggio.

Two paperbacks (Rope Burns by Robert Scott and Hunting Evil by Carlton
Smith)have been written about James Daveggio and Michele Michaud.
They also molested a number of preteen girls, and at one time were
suspects in the young girl disappearances in the East Bay Area in the
late 1980s. They couldn't have done those together as they were only
a couple for about 18 months prior to their arrest in late 1997.
Nothing more has ever been said if he could have had anything to do
with those disappearances.
There was a really good article right after their arrest in the
Sacramento Bee but I couldn't find it. Here's one right before the
trial started.
Trial begins for Calif. couple accused of murder, rape
Brian Anderson
Contra Costa Times
1/21/02
It was Thanksgiving 1997, and like many families the Samsons gathered
together in their home.
Their one-story house on Siesta Court in Pleasanton, Calif., was a
clean-cut American cliche surrounded by the manicured lawns of another
safe suburb.
At the Samsons, celebration was in order. It was a day away from
usually hectic daily lives filled with work, school and errands_a
point not lost on Christina Samson, who was overjoyed to have her
husband Daniel, son Vincent and daughters Nicole and Vanessa together.
Just hours later, a short distance away , a shaken teen-age girl sat
in a room at the Candlewood Hotel in Pleasanton. She had been
molested, the victim of a crime she later told police that Michelle
Lyn Michaud had warned would take place.
James Anthony Daveggio, Michaud's boyfriend and the man who has since
pleaded guilty to forcing the girl into a sex act, was nearby.
"It was the biggest shopping day of the year and would be the best day
to kill somebody," the girl recalled her attacker saying just after
midnight, court records show.
Police say Daveggio and Michaud soon began to hunt a new victim.
Six days later Vanessa Samson was dead.
Opening statements in the trial of Daveggio, 41, and Michaud, 43, for
the murder of Vanessa Samson are scheduled to begin Tuesday in Alameda
County Superior Court in Oakland, Calif. They could face the death
penalty if convicted.
Michaud also is accused of sexually assaulting two Tri-Valley teens,
charges similar to those Daveggio pleaded guilty to in October.
Daveggio and Michaud drove to a Hayward K-Mart, according to court
records.
The pair took their purchases to Motel 6 in Pleasanton where they
checked into Room 137. Michaud's green 1994 Dodge Caravan was parked
outside.
A day later, police say, the pair began their search in earnest. The
green van parked in front of Foothill High School, potential victims
were scouted, former Pleasanton police Chief Bill Eastman later told
reporters.
The couple drove to Livermore, Calif., later that day, stopping at Not
Too Naughty, where a security camera captured their 10-minute visit to
buy a ball gag and a cassette tape titled "Submissive Girls."
Daveggio and Michaud were out early on what court records revealed the
couple referred to as "adventures" and "huntings"_and what police said
was a search for a victim. Two young girls were spotted, but then came
Samson, Eastman said.
Not wanting to be late for the clerical job she had held for only
weeks, Vanessa bid farewell to her mother and left for SCJ Insurance
Services with her backpack and bag lunch. She had paged her sister,
who was staying with a friend and had offered a ride the day before,
but she hadn't heard back.
That was not a problem for Vanessa, 22. The Ohlone College student
regularly turned down rides to work, preferring to walk the short way.
It was foggy and cool as Vanessa set out about 7:30 a.m.
Roofers working at a house on Page heard a "desperate scream" then a
door sliding closed, Alameda County prosecutor Angela Backers said in
court papers. Looking down the street, they watched a green van inch
away.
Two hours later, Michaud turned up in Sacramento, Calif., the town
where she had grown up after a vagabond military family life. There
was money to be had from a waiting welfare check.
After a stop at a check-cashing store, she continued east to South
Lake Tahoe. Michaud had business the next day at Douglas County
Courthouse_a court date for writing bad checks.
Later that morning, the van steered into the parking lot of the
Sundowner Motel at South Lake. Manager Mukesh Patel checked them into
Room 5, but noticed nothing out of the ordinary, investigators were
later told.
But inside that room Samson's brutalized body would be pushed to the
edge, author Robert Scott would write in "Rope Burns," one of two
books on the case that have been published.
It was there, Scott wrote, that Samson was tortured before being
forced into a van and driven along Highway 88. Near Crater Wash, she
was strangled with a length of rope and dumped in the snow.
A day had passed and the Samsons and their friends were in a panic.
For matriarch Christina Samson, it had been a sleepless night
following a grindingly slow day since she had heard a message from
Vanessa's coworker asking why she hadn't come to work.
She had a "funny feeling." It was simply out of character for Vanessa
to not show up for work and fail to home. At least her youngest
daughter would have called.
Still she remained hopeful. Vanessa had a good friend in Davis,
Calif., who had planned to come for Thanksgiving, but could not make
the trip. She might have gone to see him.
But family friend Raul Guilliarte had not heard from Vanessa, he told
the worried mother.
In a frenzy of phone calls, friends called friends, others called
hospitals. Nobody had heard from Vanessa since she left for work the
day before.
Fliers were crafted. Vincent Samson stayed home from his San Francisco
job to help search for his little sister. They had to do everything,
he had failed her, he told officials, records show.
Two hundred miles northeast, FBI agents bore down on the Lakeside Inn
in Stateline, Nevada. Two days earlier, a college coed had pegged
Daveggio and Michaud in a police photo lineup as the couple who had
snatched her in September from a Reno street and raped her before
dumping her in a remote area of Placer County.
They drove a van, she told police, one similar to the van now parked
at a casino across the street from the Douglas County Sheriff's
Office.
Agents knocked on the door of Room 133. Michaud was arrested seconds
later.
They moved to the casino, where Daveggio was spinning the reels of a
slot machine. He was cuffed and hauled away.
Arrested for the Reno rape and kidnap_a crime for which they were
convicted in 1999 -- it didn't take authorities long to announce
Daveggio and Michaud were prime suspects in Vanessa's kidnapping.
With a chaplain in his front seat, Vincent Samson headed for home to
break the news. Two days had passed since his sister left him with too
many questions and now he had the answer.
"You are going to present your parents and sister with information
that will change their lives forever," he said to himself, he later
told officials.
Vincent fell through the door with a detective behind him. Christina
now knew the answer, too.
"They took my daughter away," she said, according to court records.
A trucker had spotted the body down a snowy embankment about 10:45
that morning, officials explained. "Ness" was not coming home.

I just finished both books JC and I think ~Rope Burns~ was the better

Daveggio. They did awful sexual things to the young girl they
kidnapped and killed..plus Michaud let Daveggio molest her daughter.
They are both really depraved.

Wait a minute. I think that depends on what your definition of "work" is.
Certainly, none of these women got off free and clear, but while Beck, Brown
and Coffman got the DP ( as did the Manson girls initially) and West and
Hindley got life (West and Hindley because there was no DP in England), Fugate
got out and is working as a nurse, Gallego got out after 16 years, and Karla is
scheduled to get out after serving 12. Although Brown got the DP, she might
never face it as she's serving out to life sentences in Ohio.Sounds like the
defense works often enough to try it if you're trying to save a life.
I think Michaud's lawyers are willing to try it because they have nothing to
lose. Michaud and DaVeggio are such scumbags that they may very well be walked
right to the death chamber. I wonder if they will confess to killing that other
girl to save their lives. There was another girl that they have not been
charged with killing, but the composite drawing of the kidnapper looks exactly
like Michaud and they were in the area at the time.

TriValley Herald
OAKLAND -- Vanessa Lei Samson was beaten and her throat crushed by
hands and cord, according to a pathologist's analysis of the autopsy
done on the Pleasanton woman.
The gruesome revelation came Thursday as prosecutor Angela Backers
finished presenting evidence she believes proves Michelle Michaud and
her one-time beau, James Daveggio, murdered the 22-year-old college
student during a wicked crime binge in 1997.
Fingerprints linking 43-year-old Michaud and 41-year-old Daveggio to
Samson were among the findings presented to jurors as Backers' case
concluded in Judge Larry Goodman's courtroom.
Bonnie Paolini of the state Department of Justice forensics lab in
Sacramento found Michaud's fingerprints on duct tape wrapped around
the handles of two curling irons found inside a minivan shared by
Michaud and Daveggio, DOJ fingerprint specialist Felita Chapman
testified.
Samson's blood was on the curling irons, according to DNA tests.
Michaud and Daveggio used the curling irons to sexually torture Samson
after snatching her from a Pleasanton street Dec. 2, 1997, Backers has
argued.
Samson's thumb print was with the fingerprints of Michaud and Daveggio
on a 44-ounce AM-PM soda cup found inside the minivan after the couple
was arrested Dec. 3, 1997 at a casino hotel in Nevada, Chapman said.
Samson's body was found face down in a foot of snow about 25 miles
away the next day.
Expert pathologist Brian Peterson pointed to color photographs of
Samson's battered corpse as he told jurors of bruises to her head and
buttocks and of a neck squeezed so forcefully that every muscle bled.
Daveggio and Michaud could face the death penalty if convicted as
charged.
Attorneys for Michaud and Daveggio will begin presenting their defense
in Goodman's courtroom April 8.

Good point. ;-)
Karla isn't going to get out, though. The Ontario parole board
is too smart for that.

Good point again. As I keep saying, the woman is almost always
punished less than the man. Still, at least none of these women
were let off entirely with their "Svengali defense".

I think you're referring to Michaela Garecht who was 10 when she went
missing in Nov 1988. I don't think that Michaud and Daveggio could
have been involved together in that disappearance because they were
only together for 18 months when they were arrested in 1997. Now one
or the other could have been responsible and been operating with a
different partner. If I recall Michaela's abduction took place in
front of a grocery store where someone in a truck or van grabbed her
as she was getting her bicycle.

the couple's arrest.
Rape-Murder Suspect's Jekyll-Hyde Life
Michelle Michaud known as church helper, hooker
Patricia Jacobus, Christopher Heredia,
San Francisco Chronicle
Friday, December 19, 1997
SACRAMENTO -- When she wasn't turning tricks for $1,000 a night,
Michelle L. Michaud volunteered at a Catholic church, worked as a
school crossing guard and
was friendly with her neighbors, waving as she drove by in a minivan,
friends and neighbors say.
At bars, though, she was a different person. Her foulmouthed stories
of sex and witchcraft both startled and intrigued patrons. Friends who
drank regularly with her say Michaud bragged about being a high-priced
prostitute but said she hated sex with men and preferred women.
Those who know Michaud, 39, said she deftly juggled her two lifestyles
until about 18 months ago when she met James A. Daveggio, known as
``Frog'' for his deep, gravelly voice.
The two are now in federal custody, indicted on charges of kidnapping
and raping a Reno woman. They also face state charges of raping two
girls and are suspected of abducting, sexually assaulting and
murdering a Pleasanton woman earlier this month.
It didn't take long for trouble to brew around the couple, neighbors
said. Once Daveggio, 37, moved into Michaud's home last year,
late-night parties and
drunken brawls began, said Moses Baldizan, who lived nearby on
MacFadden Drive in Sacramento.
``Things started going downhill from there,'' Baldizan said. He and
others complained to police and the landlord and had the couple
evicted.
``I thought that was the end of it, but I guess that's when they
started their reign of terror,'' he said.
Michaud and Daveggio are suspected of roaming Northern California and
Nevada since September in Michaud's 1994 Dodge Caravan, which they
converted into a
torture chamber on wheels, authorities say.
They now face criminal charges of kidnapping and raping at gunpoint a
Reno college student and two young Sacramento girls, including
Michaud's relative and the daughter of a close family friend.
Police believe the pair's final attack came December 2 with the
abduction, rape and strangulation of Vanessa Lei Samson, 22, of
Pleasanton, whose body was dumped off Highway 88 in Alpine County.
Michaud and Daveggio were arrested the next day at a Stateline, Nev.,
casino-hotel. They are being held without bail at Washoe County Jail
in Nevada.
In their van, authorities found books on serial killers, including
ones about Gerald Gallego, who in 1978 went on a murderous crime spree
with the help of his wife.
Police say Michaud has told the FBI of preying on vulnerable girls and
young women. Daveggio has so far refused to talk to authorities, but
in a tearful
telephone conversation with his mother, he denied killing Samson.
``I told him I love him,'' his mother, Darlene Kilgore, told The
Chronicle this week. ``I was crying a lot. He said, `Mom, I swear to
you, I did not kill
anybody.' ''
FBI criminal profilers are looking at the pair with interest. It is
one of the first cases in which a woman has allegedly taken an equal
role in a series of
sexual assaults, officials said.
Even more unusual is that Michaud has no criminal record other than a
prostitution arrest in 1991. Her friends and acquaintances, however,
say her sexual exploits were well-known.
For more than a decade, Michaud lived in the blue-and-white two-story
house on MacFadden Drive with her daughter and son. Her parents lived
across the
street and her sister three houses away.
When her daughter attended a nearby Catholic school, Michaud became
interested in church activities, even joining the altar society, a
neighbor said.
Neighbors also said she was a call girl who seemed to have regular
clients. And she was taken care of by a man she has known for years,
her friends said. He bought her expensive furniture and gifts and
supplied her with cash. Her minivan is registered in both their names.
Her relationships with other men ended when she met Daveggio at a
smoky roadside joint called Bobby Joe's. She sidled up to the bar
next to a friend and said, ``I want that,'' pointing at the husky,
blond, blue-eyed bartender everybody called ``Frog'' or ``Froggy.''
Daveggio grew up in the East Bay, living first in Union City, then
moving with his family to Pleasanton, where he attended Foothill High
School for a year before dropping out.
Daveggio was friends with Michael Ihde, 38, who was sentenced to death
earlier this year for raping and murdering an 18-year-old San Leandro
woman in 1984, a
law enforcement source said. Ihde is also serving a life sentence in
Washington state for raping and murdering a 66-year-old woman.
Daveggio has had run-ins with the law since his teens.
In 1984, Pleasanton police arrested him on suspicion of forcing a
woman at gunpoint to orally copulate. No charges were filed.
In 1985, Daveggio and his pal picked up a woman at a bar and drove her
to a remote area, where Daveggio forced her to orally copulate him.
She tried to escape but was shot at and ordered back, according to San
Joaquin County court records. Daveggio served a year in jail for the
sexual assault and five years'
probation. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender, which he
did through 1995, then stopped.
After his release in 1987, Daveggio eventually moved to Sacramento,
leaving behind two ex- wives and three daughters. He remarried, having
a son with his new wife in 1990. Sometime afterward, he joined the
Devils Horsemen biker club, dying his hair purple to match his
motorcycle. He was divorced again in 1995 and
moved in with a girlfriend on Vista Avenue. Neighbors there remember
him well.
``Never did like the guy,'' one older resident said. ``I thought he
was a hustler and a no-good SOB.''
His relationship with his girlfriend fizzled, friends say, when he met
Michaud at Bobby Joe's. The couple seemed an unlikely match.
``She hated men, and he treated women like crap,'' said one man who
says he introduced them.
Friends say Michaud told people she and Daveggio rarely had sex unless
a third person was involved. Michaud also said she would pick out
women, usually
other prostitutes, for Daveggio.
The pair's relationship grew more bizarre as they used
methamphetamine, friends say. Michaud lost weight and spoke often of
magic spells to ward off bad omens.
Desperate for money, she and Daveggio sold her expensive furniture on
the front lawn of her home. Daveggio also allegedly defrauded his
friends in the
Devils Horsemen biker club out of about $1,500 from a fund-raiser.
Once evicted, Daveggio and Michaud slept in the minivan and cheap
motels.
In early September, police say, the pair took turns raping at gunpoint
the 13-year-old daughter of a close friend of Michaud's family.
The couple later left for Reno. On September 29, they abducted a
business college student, FBI Special Agent Tom Griffin said.
They drove throughout the night, raping her repeatedly in the van
until letting her go in Auburn where she stumbled down the road
looking for help, Griffin said.
Police say that several weeks later, they picked up a 12-year-old
relative of Michaud's and threw her in the van. They drove her to
Oregon, each raping her before bringing her back to Sacramento.
They have since been charged and indicted with multiple felonies
stemming from all three attacks.
Friends in Pleasanton and Dublin say Daveggio returned this fall.
According to the police account of Michaud's confession, in late
November the couple spent nights at Pleasanton hotels and days hunting
for young girls or women to abduct.
Police said, early on December 2, Daveggio snatched Vanessa Lei Samson
as she walked to work and threw her into the van, which had been
gutted and rigged to tie victims down. Michaud told the FBI that she
and Daveggio drove to a South Lake Tahoe hotel, sexually assaulting
their captive along the way. They promised to release Samson, but
killed her instead.
Alameda County prosecutors say they plan to charge Michaud and
Daveggio with Samson's slaying, and police are checking whether
Daveggio is linked to other Bay Area sex crimes and homicides.
Daveggio's mother said her heart goes out to the Samson family. ``If
there is even the remote possibility that my son could have done this
to
someone's child, I am so sorry. If I could take it back and give them
my life instead, I would,'' Kilgore said.
Chronicle librarian Kathleen Rhodes contributed to this report.
Hester Mofet
No, I wasn't talking about Michaela Garecht.Timothy Bindner was a suspect in
her disappearance, the weirdo. I looked up the girl I was writing about. Her
name is Jaycee Dugard and she has been missing in CA since 1991. Her stepfather
witnessed her abduction from about 100 yards away and helped the police
complete a composite sketch. The composite looks so much like Michaud that it's
uncanny. I doubt they'll ever confess to all they have done.
