James Lee DiMaggio Tortured Victims, Called Hannah Anderson 13 Times Before Abduction/Operation Confidence
SAN DIEGO — The California man who abducted a teenage family friend and tortured her mother and 8-year-old brother before killing them exchanged more than a dozen calls with the 16-year-old girl in the hours before the slaying.
Exactly how James Lee DiMaggio tortured them or why he and Hannah Anderson exchanged about 13 calls wasn't immediately clear, but the new details in court papers fueled questions about how and why he targeted his best friend's family and fled with a girl who has said she felt uncomfortable around him.
Firefighters found the body of Christina Anderson, 44, near a crowbar and what appeared to be blood next to her head. DiMaggio is believed to have shot and killed their family dog, found under a sleeping bag in the garage with blood close to its head.
Investigators found 8-year-old Ethan's body as they sifted through rubble.
DiMaggio "tortured and killed" the mother and son, San Diego County Sheriff's Detective Darren Perata wrote, offering no elaboration, in the warrants released Wednesday. Hannah was rescued days later in the Idaho wilderness, where authorities killed DiMaggio in a shootout.
Operation Confidence staff hearts goes out to Hannah, her brother 8 year old Ethan and mother Christina. It may take Hannah a life time to get over this horrible ordeal.
