Search warrants say a family friend tortured and killed a mother and her 8-year old son before setting his San Diego-area home on fire and fleeing with the woman's 16-year-old daughter.
The warrants unsealed Wednesday say James Lee DiMaggio and Hannah Anderson exchanged about 13 calls before Hannah was picked up from cheerleading practice on Aug. 4.
Both phones were turned off, and the home burned several hours later.

13 times sounds like a lot. Unless it was texts instead of calls. Just trying to arrange for to pick up one of my kids takes 3 to 4. (And then I get frustrated and call them!).
Add in a bunch of texts/calls to make excuses why the mom can’t pick her up.
Or, could be she was a willing accomplice. As I’ve said before, I imagine the FBI and cops have enough evidence that they will get to the bottom of it.
Where is it stated that it was an even exchange of calls? Maybe he made the majority of the calls.
A lot of reasons.
The same friend said she and he traveled to LA for a trip.
I’ve not decided this girl is anything or anyone. It feels strange that she too multiple day trips alone to Malibu and Hollywood with a man that creeped her out, and there were 13 calls between them ON the day of the murders and house fire. Nothing wrong with asking questions.
But I guess it's more fun to think she's an evil criminal mastermind who manipulated weirdo to get rid of her mother and brother who she hated. Maybe she can team up with Lex Luthor now.
It says “exchanged” not “originated”. Some of the calls were probably him calling her. Or her calling other people. Or the report is just wrong. Plus... This is a teenage girl. Calling anybody less than twenty times an hour is almost the silent treatment.
So what? That means she was an accessory to the the torture and murder of her mother and brother?
Did her parents allow her to go with him? Maybe her father should have take a deeper look at his “best friend”?
There are few things in life that you [we] know for sure.
This is a site with rabid opinions. Suddenly, you demure.
Dads statements and daughters statements have seemed ‘off’ to me. And the more I hear about the details of the interactions the more I’m wondering what all of his is about. There’s more to this story. That’s for sure.
Really? Did you grow up that way?
Text messages can be retrieved and depending on your provider, deleted text message can be retrieved as well.
The prosecution used them in the Jodi Arias trial.
Thank you.
Was she a willing participant?
13 phone calls — followed by the killing of her mother and brother and family dog — and then the phones are destroyed.
What was she doing all the while he was killing her mother.
The police need to offer her a lie detector test.
Actually, it was noted in a Brit paper ... that there may be a problem:
Just what I was about to say. Complete w/ a manicure.
The FBI are able to retrieve the content of their phone calls and since they had been called in on this case that crossed state borders they should have those recordings in their possession right about now.
It’s so touching when sociopaths find each other. For a while, anyway.
From the Yahoo article:
Nora Baladerian, a Los Angeles psychologist who headed trauma teams in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, said Anderson's choice of social media was another example of how her generation turns to the Internet to share deeply personal experiences with strangers. I think what's she's doing is connecting, and that's a good thing," Baladerian said.
A slightly different take:
Lawrence Calhoun, a psychology professor at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, said people react to trauma in widely different ways and warned against deeming any response misguided.
Still, the most important messages of support will come from family and friends, he said. One potential pitfall of turning to the Internet is that strangers may post unhelpful, even harmful, remarks.
Weird, just weird. I can't imagine putting yourself out there like that to strangers. But, no doubt, she'll be ready for interviews with the TV news shows.
(Yes, trauma survivors do handle grief in different ways. One of the wives that lost her husband in the Yarnell Hill fire in Arizona has been all over the airwaves starting that next morning and more recently as an advocate for more benefits for the firefighter's families. Most of the others wanted privacy to grieve with close family and friends.)
The article said a "family friend." That makes it EVEN worse, it that's possible.
