SAN DIEGO - A California man who abducted the 16-year-old daughter of a longtime family friend and took her to the Idaho wilderness after killing her mother and brother this month had a stack of letters from the teen, search warrants showed on Friday.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s office warrants also showed 13 phone calls or text messages between phones belonging to the San Diego area girl and her abductor, James DiMaggio, on the day she went missing.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, which requested a total of 8 search warrants in the case, declined to say whether Anderson or DiMaggio initiated the calls.
FBI agents shot dead DiMaggio and rescued Hannah Anderson on Saturday in the rugged Idaho mountains following a multi-state manhunt, after a group of horseback riders told authorities they had encountered the pair there earlier in the week.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Jan Caldwell stressed that after extensively interviewing Hannah Anderson and reviewing the evidence, investigators had concluded she was an innocent victim.
“Hannah was a victim in every sense of the word,” Caldwell said Friday. “We cannot be more clear on that.”
Hannah Anderson’s mother, Christina Anderson, 44, and her dog were found dead in the garage of DiMaggio’s home On Aug. 4 in the rural community of Boulevard, California, about 72 km east of San Diego.
Her 8-year-old brother, Ethan, was found in DiMaggio’s log cabin house after a fire that burned the house to the ground and left investigators so little to go on that they had to use DNA to identify the boy.
One of the warrants said that the mother and son had been tortured and killed. The records show that DiMaggio also had a makeshift bomb in his garage.
Hannah Anderson’s father, Brett Anderson, has said he was baffled by the actions of DiMaggio, whom he described as a trusted longtime friend considered an uncle by the children.
A law enforcement source said DiMaggio had served as the best man at Brett and Christina Anderson’s wedding.

Yeah, I know, something feels really off and yet, as recent as yesterday, they were still saying this
I figger she wanted her mother and brother dead and used some creepy family friend to do it for her. It wouldn't be the first time.
Is this the first time a cute female has manipulated a guy into killing?
I'd like to think otherwise too, but...

Yeah, I was surprised as hell to learn Di Maggio was a close and bosom buddy of her father's.
lol, her or us for wondering?
he was his best man and is pictured sitting on the couch like a family member...that's the bizarre part, from that to murderer and he killed the dog but took his cat out into the wilderness... meh, no. Not a cut and dried murder/kidnap.
I was watching a newscast from the States where the former law enforcement officer
on horseback came across them. He stated that as they left he heard the girl say,
something to the effect We are all going to be in trouble now . He found that to be
strange. Plus they were not prepared to the area they were in. Now did she mean
they were in trouble as being threatened or did she know more than she let on?

Best case scenario, she knew nothing and was a complete victim
she looks less innocent daily and her blogging/chatroom appearance did not help
- next best: she got all caught up in the" let's run away together" and knew nothing about her mum and brother
- next but bad: she knew they were dead, was not supposed to be that way but "oh no, now I have to run too"...
- next: it was planned and she did or did not have a hand in it
