It’s when he put one of his victims’ hearts into a toaster oven.

Nope, if he or she is still on parole. At least in California. Parole agents have the right to search the premises, and the interior of the house (with very few exceptions) at any time, for any (or no) reason. It’s part of the price you pay for being on parole, or having a parolee living in your house.  
IANAL - YMMV

Do the police have that right as well?

All they have to do is convince a parole officer a search is a good idea. Ought to be way easier than convincing a judge, since they don’t even need probable cause.

This is a really good point. Many of those same societies also recognized marriage by abduction, and in some places (if you go back to the early medieval period) polygamy.

Has anyone read anything about contributions being made for Jaycee and her daughters?

I would donate a buck or two, and I think many others would as well, to show support and encouragement.

CBS confirmed that I was correct in my assestment that the sheds and a false fence under the trees made the property look smaller than what it was in reality:
