Garrido once lived on the property in a shed. Antioch and Contra Costa County authorities have not provided many details about what they are seeking at the properties in relation to the other cases. The land includes the tents and sheds where Garrido and his wife allegedly hid Dugard and her two daughters, now 11 and 15, fathered by Garrido. Police in the nearby city of Pittsburg, however, have said they are investigating whether Garrido, 58, was involved in the murders of prostitutes in the 1990s. Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Chris Campion, who spent 18 years on Dugard's case, said the Garridos never were considered suspects.

He said the bureau exhausted thousands of leads about Dugard's whereabouts. ASSOCIATED PRESS ANTIOCH, Calif.

Prejean was fired in June $2699 COHECTIQN areas and shantytowns, said Apolinar Ledezma, the municipal public safety director. The government said it would send out 200 military personnel and dozens of police in trucks to help people reach dozens of shelters. Authorities warned that those who refuse to evacuate would be forced to do so. "We are going to start by inviting people to leave. The moment will come when we will have to make it obligatory," said Garibaldo Romero, interior secretary for the municipal government.

Organizers of an international financial meeting scheduled for Cabo San Lucas this week decided to move their conference including more than 170 representatives from 54 coun-tries to Mexico City. "The meeting has been planned for two months, and the meteorological conditions, by their very nature, are unpredictable," said Anthony Gooch, spokesman for the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information, sponsored by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 1 By Mark Stevenson ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS CABOS, Baja California Sur Extremely dangerous Hurricane Jimena roared toward Mexico's resort-studded Baja California peninsula Monday, prompting emergency workers to set up makeshift shelters and chasing away an international finance conference. Jimena is just short of Category 5 status the top danger rating for a hurricane and could rake the harsh desert region fringed with picturesque beaches and fishing villages as a major storm by this evening, forecasters said. Heavy bands of intermittent rain Monday evening moved across the resort town of Los Cabos.

Workers at the Cabo San Lucas marina nailed sheets of plywood on storefront windows while fishermen secured their boats ahead of Jimena, which was packing winds near 155 mph. Hotels and restaurants gathered up umbrellas, tables, chairs and anything else that might be blown away. At least 10,000 families were ordered to evacuate their homes in low-lying by pageant officials, who prejean cited missed scheduled appearances. Prejean's attorney says that's not true and his client was ousted because of controversial remarks in April during the Miss USA pageant that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Representatives for Lewis and Moakler said they had no public comment yet on the lawsuit.

Her lawsuit claims they told Prejean to stop mentioning God. TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS World War veteran L. R. "Ray" Harshman of Austin is 91. Author and speaker Liz penter is 89.
