Kidnapping of Hannah Anderson

The kidnapping of Hannah Anderson occurred in San Diego, California on August 3, 2013 when 16-year-old Hannah Anderson (born July 22, 1997) was abducted by 40-year-old James DiMaggio (January 17, 1973 – August 10, 2013). An amber alert was issued for Hannah, who was found alive in Cascade, Idaho on August 10, 2013, seven days after she was first abducted. DiMaggio was killed by FBI agents at the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, where he had been camping with the teen.

History
DiMaggio was a family friend of the Andersons and had previously assisted the family with various tasks such as driving Hannah and a friend to a gymnastics meet. DiMaggio had expressed a romantic interest in Hannah while driving her to the gymnastics meet, which had reportedly unnerved the teen. DiMaggio had also voiced irritation during a trip to Los Angeles with Hannah that she "wasn’t paying enough attention to him.” Friends of Hannah stated that she did not like being alone with him and that she was "creeped out" by him.

Kidnapping and manhunt
On Sunday, August 4, 2013 a fire was reported at the Anderson house, where the bodies of Hannah's mother, Christina Anderson, and a young boy, later confirmed to be her 8-year-old brother Ethan, were discovered. Hannah's grandparents called the authorities and reported that Hannah and Ethan were missing, prompting authorities to issue a statewide Amber Alert via cell phone.

On August 8 a sighting of Hannah was reported by a horseback rider in Idaho after he watched a news report mentioning Hannah and DiMaggio earlier that night. The following day the remains of the young boy were confirmed to be Ethan Anderson. It was also discovered that Christina Anderson had died of blunt force trauma believed to have been caused by blows from a crowbar. DiMaggio is suspected of the crime and an arrest warrant was issued for him by the San Diego County police department.

On the same day DiMaggio's car, a blue Nissan Versa, was discovered near the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The car's license plates had been removed and the vehicle had been hidden by brush. On August 10, 2013 authorities discovered DiMaggio's campsite and an FBI tactical agent killed DiMaggio near Morehead Lake around 5 pm. Hannah was reported to have no visible injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
