SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A News 8 investigation has uncovered new information about the criminal investigation involving Lakeside teen Hannah Anderson......
Lori DiMaggio, the sister of the accused kidnapper, came out swinging against the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and the media in an exclusive interview with CNN Tuesday.....
There is a long list of unanswered questions in the case that the Sheriff's department is declining to answer, starting with a Border Patrol checkpoint in the East County.
After the alleged kidnapping, DiMaggio and Hannah were seen on surveillance video driving through the checkpoint in Pine Valley.
News 8 wanted to know why Hannah didn't try to escape or alert one of the armed, federal agents that she had just been kidnapped.
But the Border Patrol and the Sheriff's department have refused to talk about what happened.
They won't even confirm whether the checkpoint was staffed, opened or closed when DiMaggio's vehicle passed through.
Then there are the surveillance cameras that News 8 spotted just this week at the Mountain Top Market in Boulevard ......
They likely captured DiMaggio and Hannah driving past on Highway 80 on August 3rd, but we'll never know what the video showed. The owner of the market said detectives never came by to get the footage, and it was automatically erased two weeks after the murders.
Detectives also overlooked a surveillance camera at the Golden Acorn Casino in Boulevard, and another one across the street from Sweetwater High School, where DiMaggio picked up Hannah from cheer camp August 3.
In addition, the principal of Sweetwater High School said detectives never approached the school with questions about Hannah Anderson, DiMaggio, or potential surveillance video recorded on campus......

Here is one commenter’s post as to why she thinks the police may want to ‘protect’ Hannah and cover this up:
1. They jumped to conclusion too soon at the beginning before doing thorough investigation, and was very positive about ‘Hanna was only a victim’. If the story turned out to be different. They won’t look too good.
2. They sent Amber alert to everybody’s phone in that area which interrupted people and already upset some (Because people were in the middle of conference calls, trading, video games, etc.). If Hannah was involved or even was the killer, then the police have to admit the Amber alert was a big mistake as well.
3. It would be more difficult for them to justify the killing of DiMaggio.
“Apparently there are those who don’t want even to consider that the blue-eyed blonde 16 year old cheerleader might just be evil”
At this point the police said they’re 100% confident that Hannah was nothing but a victim. Given that the pages of FR are often host to horror stories of police abuse, police bias, and prosecutorial overzealousness then if this system says the girl is a victim then I’m convinced she must be.
See, if she had even a single Facebook post indicating she was a contributor to the murders then I have no doubt that she’d be in jail for the rest of her life.
Let it go. The girl is not too sharp, true, but she’s not a murderer.
Brett Anderson at 20 minute mark:
Brett states that she missed the cheerleading camp, and that she had to have known mom and bro were dead, and that there was nothing hinky going on between them.

For critics of Bill Gore, this news comes as no surprise. Gore has a history of heavy handed actions toward American citizens. In 1992 he was the FBI’s agent in charge of the highly criticized Ruby Ridge incident; issuing “shoot on sight” orders to his snipers and other FBI SWAT Team operators. This resulted in the unjustified homicide of the families mother, who was holding her baby in her arms at the time the FBI snipers bullet struck her in the head and killed her. The family’s son was shot in the back while running away and family dog were also killed. Gore later plead the fifth at the Senate subcommittee hearing, which heavily criticized the FBI for this incident. The FBI later fired and disciplined numerous members of Gore’s FBI assault team, but as the senior agent in charge of the assault, Gore came out apparently unscathed.
