(CNN) -- The California couple accused of kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl and then holding her captive for 18 years made a brief appearance in court Thursday.
Among the observers in the courtroom was Katherine Callaway Hall, whom Phillip Garrido was convicted of abducting and repeatedly raping in 1976. She has said she was locked in a storage facility for hours after Garrido drove her from Lake Tahoe, California, to Reno, Nevada.
In the courtroom Thursday, she said, "he looked right at me, and I just glared right back."
An El Dorado County Superior Court judge set a December 11 date for the next hearing for Garrido and his wife, Nancy. At that time, issues such as discovery will be considered, the judge said. No trial date has been set.
The Garridos have pleaded not guilty to charges involving Jaycee Dugard, who police say was abducted in 1991 and hidden in a maze of tents and sheds in the couple's backyard in Antioch, California, until she was discovered in late August. Garrido fathered two children with the girl, police say.
Garrido also is a suspect in the unsolved kidnappings of two girls, ages 9 and 13, including one who resembles Dugard
