DiMaggio killed Hannah Anderson's mother and brother ... BEFORE setting the house on fire
The Daily Mail Online ^ | August 15, 2013 | Meghan Keneally

Search warrants reveal that Jim DiMaggio had tortured and killed his two victims before he drove off with the kidnapped teen....

They found the bodies of Christina Anderson and her six-year-old son Ethan covered with tarp, and a crowbar lying next to Christina....

The details surrounding the nature of the bodies are scant, but the fact that the humans were draped with tarp before the firefighters got there- and that there was blood coming from the dog's head- implies that they were all killed before the fire ravaged the home.

This comes in contrast to what Hannah Anderson told friends on social media after she was freed by FBI officials who found her with DiMaggio in Idaho.

When asked about their deaths on her Ask.fm account, Hannah said that 'he tied them up in the garage'.

In another post she said DiMaggio had rigged the house with explosives that went off when they were on the road, so she was not aware that her mother and brother had been killed until she was told by an FBI agent an Idaho hospital after her rescue.

After fielding hundreds of questions from both strangers and friends, Hannah shut down her Ask.fm page ...

As for the immediate police version of events, their conclusions are clear. In the report, they stated that 'after the double homicide, DiMaggio set the house on fire'....

Two search warrants were released on Wednesday, showing what led investigators to seek permission to go to the Anderson's home and retrieve evidence in the hopes of piecing together DiMaggio's connection to the family.

Their initial point of investigation was DiMaggio's phone records, which showed that he and Hannah Anderson had 13 phone conversations in the days and weeks leading up to her abduction.

'He tricked us,' one post on her Ask.fm account said. She explained that DiMaggio told the Andersons to come over and ride go carts on his property. Once they arrived, he tied up her mother and brother and fled by car with Hannah.

But an earlier Yahoo article says that Hannah Anderson and Dimaggio exchanged about 13 calls before Hannah was picked up from cheerleading practice on Aug. 4. Both phones were subsequently turned off, and the home burned several hours later.

Right... everyone will flame me, but I have the impression that the young lady was complicit in this.

Hate to say it, but it’s beginning to look like she is more involved than initially claimed.

If so, it will come out. She doesn’t really seem to be smart enough to pull off an extended scam.

2 days ago - you would have been flamed. But not today.

The 32 phone calls she had with the killer just prior is disturbing.

To say the least.
The 1st red flag for me was the sighting where the witnesses stated there was no evidence of force & the fact that she had her CAT with her.
What kidnapper lets you bring a cat on the abduction??

Truth to tell....I always thought she had complicity in this.

Her photo is disturbing and not consistent with the character she/the MSM would like to convey.

It is not in keeping with what she had said about her dislike for him and she probably flirted with him unmercifully. Mom was certainly asleep on this one.

No flaming here I saw it on our TV (Aust) here yesterday and said to the wife - I think that young lady ain’t what she wants others to believe she is (a victim).

The final strike against them was killing the dog but taking the cat.

I’ve come to the conclusion the girl wasn’t a victim ever since the interview with the people who found them. Maybe even before that.

My guess is she planned to run away with him but didn’t know he was going to kill her brother or mom.

Maybe if it was just her mom, but I dont see a girl like this planning to kill her 8 yr old brother.

Same here. As soon as I saw that interview, my spidey sense started pinging off the charts. I told my wife, before this is over they are going to charge her with murder.

-and she said that he was “having money issues” with his house and so they all went over there to see him “one LAST time”-which I thought was an interesting choice of words.

So maybe they planned it this way: get rid of his house-money problems gone- and with her family dead she would inherit the estate and some insurance money.

She could turn up “alive” a few months from now, he would stay in hiding, she could collect the money, return to him and they would live happily ever after.

In the pics she posted, there is not an ounce of sadness in her eyes.

None.

She just lost her little brother, her mom and her dog-they were murdered and burned- and not only was she having her nails done (like Rachel/Pebbles from the GZ trial, maybe they were her ‘funeral nails’) but she had on full make-up.

I cried so much-at least a month after my mom died-I didn’t even bother to put on makeup etc because it was a waste of time and quite frankly I didn’t care about how I looked. And eye makeup wasn’t even possible as I cried at the drop of a hat...

She actually looked happy and relaxed, enjoying the primping of a new manicure-and she also had NO scratches or marks on her hands after climbing and hiking in the woods for days. She didn’t look sunburned, tired or even stressed-just happy to be having a manicure!

She did however, state that the day she found out her family was dead, she “cried all night long”....

How appropriate; I think she’s a sociopath...

Yep. Now she has that manicure that mom probably
wouldn’t let her get before. Possibly uhh..encouraged, the
sap DiMaggio, with her, uhh..skills, to do what she wanted
done. Just a possibility of course. She just doesn’t have the general appearance of an actual victim.

I thought she was innocent. But then she showed up on the Internet - if it was her - and started chatting about the ordeal. That was bizarre.

No flames here. That also was my impression after the facts started seeping in.

Not me.

Whenever the parents and the siblings are offed by the BF, the girl is the one who is driving the truck. Not every time, but almost.

Killing the fam (of the girlfriend) is a Juliet fantasy, not a Romeo one.

Don't get me wrong, the boy or man is guilty of his crime, and deserves to die.

But any man who has not been temporarily insane over a woman really can't understand the root of a crime like this.
