Relatives of James Lee DiMaggio want to know if he’s the real father of Hannah Anderson, the 16-year-old he’s accused of kidnapping after killing her mother and younger brother.
The family requested DNA samples from Hannah and 8-year-old brother Ethan for a paternity test after learning DiMaggio left a $112,000 life insurance benefit to the kids’ grandmother.
"He expected the grandmother to take care of the two children with the money,” family spokesman Andrew Spanswick told San Diego 10. “He stated he did not want it to go to their parents because they were having marital problems, and he didn't trust them with the money on their own."
DiMaggio replaced his sister, Lora Robinson, with the grandmother, Bernice Anderson, in 2011. Spanswick said Robinson won’t contest the payout, but the family still wants samples from Hannah and Ethan.
“We are requesting DNA samples from Hannah and anything they can get from Ethan,” Spanswick told the station. “There are rumors Jim was the children's real father. The parents didn't marry until 2002. We think it’s strange he left them so much money with no explanation.”
Brett Anderson lived in Tennessee, apart from Hannah’s 44-year-old mother, Christina Anderson, and the kids when emergency crews discovered DiMaggio’s house in flames.
Brett Anderson has not spoken publicly about the request for a paternity test.
DiMaggio was close to the Anderson family. Hannah and Ethan grew up calling him “Uncle Jim.” Hannah described him as her father’s best friend in a flurry of posts to the social media site ask.fm before the account was shut down.
Spanswick said another set of Hannah’s recent social media posts raised more questions. “Some things that Hannah is saying on her Facebook doesn't add up so far. Her latest posts are disturbing,” Spanswick said without explaining further.
DiMaggio died in a shootout with FBI agents on Aug. 10 in the Idaho wilderness, ending a six-day manhunt across the western United States.
Authorities said he killed and tortured Hannah’s mother and Ethan and left their bodies at his home. The house and garage, rigged to a timer, ignited after he’d kidnapped Hannah and fled, according to authorities.
San Diego JCounty Sheriff’s spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said DiMaggio had a 20-hour head start on law enforcement. A Border Patrol security camera captured images of him and Hannah in DiMaggio’s blue Nissan Versa long before the Aug. 4 fire was discovered.
Hannah has stayed mostly behind closed doors since her rescue, saying little as the case takes one bizarre turn after another.
Search warrants revealed she and DiMaggio exchanged 13 phone calls before their cellphones were shut off at 4 p.m. on Aug. 4. Investigators also discovered letters from the teen in the burned-out wreckage of DiMaggio’s rural Boulevard, Calif., home.
Authorities said early on DiMaggio had an “unusual infatuation” with the girl. The two had taken multiple day trips in the past, a friend told investigators.
Authorities have insisted Hannah was taken against her will and was under “duress” throughout the ordeal.
my brain hurts
Incoming book deal in 3...2...1...
All the finger pointing and laughing at the OP about this being the weakest new post ever.
And yet you've managed to get it to 3 pages worth of discussion?
Congratulations, ME.
to be fair its about half a page of discussion and the rest is people calling you retarded
They managed to turn shit that other non-you people who aren't terrible at posting posted into something about how that girl's gonna be tweeting some Paris Hilton shit in 2 years, whatever
I still don't know who she is.
Friend of the family allegedly kidnaps this girl along with her mother and brother. He kills the mother and brother (beating them and leaving them tied up in his burning house.) and takes her out into the wilderness where FBI agents capped his ass. OP suspects she was in on it and not just a victim. There's definitely weird stuff going on, but who knows how much of it is true and how much is just coincidence getting dug up by reporters looking for dirt.
Back to you in the studio, Jim.
Didn't they have a cat or something at the Idaho campsite?
The girl said today that the calls between him and her were actually texts because he was giving her a ride home from practice: http://www.seattlepi.com/news/crime/...de-4751673.php
Clearly she had plenty of opportunity then to talk to him during the ride home from practice and contract him to kill her entire family because she was tired of the new allowance restructuring and how her brother was atotes a dorkmonger. Just screams 'guilty'.SAN DIEGO (AP) — A California teen whose mother and brother were killed by a family friend said on national television Thursday that she once confided with the man about troubles with her mother and explained text messages exchanged on the day of the attack.
Police say James Lee DiMaggio abducted Hannah Anderson and fled to the Idaho wilderness before he was killed by authorities.
In an interview on the NBC "Today" show, Hannah didn't say how her family died, describe her interactions with DiMaggio during a massive manhunt, or offer details to explain why DiMaggio might have unleashed such violence.
In her first news interview since her dramatic rescue Aug. 10, Hannah said she wrote to DiMaggio about a year ago as he guided her through a rough patch with her mother.
"Me and him would talk about how to deal with it, and I'd tell him how I felt about it, and he'd help me through it. They weren't anything bad. They were just to help me through tough times," she said.
Hannah said she exchanged text messages on Aug. 3 with DiMaggio before she disappeared about where he should pick her up from cheerleading practice. Her statements corrected a search warrant that said the pair exchanged about 13 phone calls.
"The phone calls weren't phone calls," she said. "They were texts because he was picking me up from cheer camp and he didn't know the address or what, like, where I was, so I had to tell him."
Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, declined to comment on the content of the letters and text messages.
Hannah's comments to NBC underscore the close relationship she had with DiMaggio, 40, who was like an uncle to her and her brother and her father's best friend.
Hannah's disappearance triggered a search for DiMaggio that spanned much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico.
Christina Anderson, 44, was found dead near a crowbar and what appeared to be a pool of blood in the garage of DiMaggio's home in Boulevard, a tiny town about 65 miles east of San Diego. The remains of Ethan Anderson, 8, were discovered in the rubble.
Hannah went online barely two days after she was rescued and answered hundreds of questions on social media, including some that described harrowing details of her ordeal. She said she was surprised by some cruel responses she got.
But she had a straightforward answer for why she talked online: "It just helps me grieve ... I'm going to go on it. I'm a teenager."
She was at turns defiant and shaken in the NBC interview, declaring that she's a survivor and plans to try to out for varsity gymnastics this year but breaking down when asked to describe her younger brother.
"In the beginning, I was a victim," she said, "but now knowing everyone out there was helping I consider myself a survivor instead."
Hannah said the ordeal drew her closer to her father, who flew to San Diego from his Tennessee home after the search was launched. During the interview, she showed off newly painted nails, pink in honor of her mother and blue for her brother with their names on her toes.
Of her brother, she said, "He had a really big heart," before she choked up and wiped away tears. Her mother was "strong-hearted and very tough."
"She knew how to handle things," Hannah said.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore has called Hannah "a victim in every sense of the word." He has declined to discuss a possible motive and investigators haven't publicly addressed other aspects of the case, including why the family went to DiMaggio's home, the nature of letters from Hannah that were discovered in DiMaggio's home and how Hannah was treated in captivity.
DiMaggio set fire to his home using a timer, giving him a 20-hour jump on authorities, authorities say.
Horseback riders who spotted the pair in the Idaho wilderness alerted authorities, providing the key break to her rescue. Hannah told NBC that she probably wouldn't be home if it weren't for them and also thanked investigators and members of the public who assisted in the search for her.
I swear this was made into a B movie a few years back. Lol.
