best they can, and i wish them well. we don't know precisely what happened. >> oh my god. he's been shot. >> the president of the united states has been shot. >> i could see it through the view finder. even now. >> an inch from his heart. >> he was minutes away from not making it. >> who is the shooter? >> he says, if you know about that, you know about everything. >> a bizarre motive. >> he felt the relationship was real. >> he was a really severely disturbed person. >> and his crime changed history. the shooting of ronald reagan. next.

on january 20th, 1981, ronald wilson reagan was sworn in as the 40th president of the united states. >> i, ronald reagan, do solemnly swear. >> as with new administrations, reagan's first couple of months are rocky. >> and this is the 70th day of reagan's presidency. days were not going particularly well. he had a low approval rate, the lowest of any president that early in his first term. it's a monday, and reagan has one big event that day, to deliver a speech to aafl-cio. >> it's 2:00, kind of gray day in washington.

and reagan's motorcade arrived for a speech at the washington hilton hotel which is behind us. this is the special entrance back here, vip entrance reagan walked into when he arrived. >> government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. >> the event is covered by all the major networks. for abc news photographer, hank brown, it's a routine job. >> full crew traveled with the president wherever he goes. >> we wanted to get the picture of the president walking out of the hotel and getting in the limo. >> 15 feet from that door was a rope line. all that the cameraman, everybody's laughing. it was unsecured. no i.d. checks. people thought it was a press line. it wasn't. anyone could be behind that line. you see hinckley's face about three rows back, totally passive. no reaction at all.

>> i got my camera out, aimed it at the door the president was coming out. i could see it through the view finder. even now. >> reagan is walking toward his limousine. secret service agents are surrounding him as he goes toward the car. >> 15 feet, john w. hinckley jr. pulled out his .22 caliber revolver. and unleashes six shots in 1.7 seconds. 1.7 seconds is the time it takes me to say 1.7 seconds. it's that fast. the first shot hits jim brady, the press secretary, in the head. >> brady is seen here between reagan and secret service agent, jerry parr. >> the second shot is a d.c. police officer in the back.

third shot goes high, hits that building across the street right there. >> the fourth shot hits timothy mccarthy, secret service agent, square in the chest. he's not wearing a bulletproof vest. he falls to the found. >> the fifth shot hits the armored bulletproof window of the car. as reagan and parr flash behind it diving in. the sixth shot cracks across the -- no one knows where that sixth shot went until later they realized it's off the side of the car, slipped through a fwga between a door and the door frame. >> i thought it was fire crackers. next thing i knew, a secret service agent behind me plunged me head first into the limo. >> the agent is 50-year-old jerry parr, head of reagan's secret service detail. >> as we go in, i go in on top of him.

i'm sure i hit, my radio or gun or something hit him on the back. >> i said, jerry, get off, i think you've broken a rib. >> jerry is looking out the window. jerry par is looking out the window, says three men down, a bullet mark in the left window. he knows there's been an assassination attempt. that limousine is alone. >> shots fired. >> parr checks reagan out quickly. seems okay. reagan thinks he's okay. >> ran my hands up under his coat, felt all around his belt with my hands. no blood. ran my hands up under his arms. no blood. >> raw hide is okay. >> reagan's secret service code name. on this day, there's no better code name for a president than raw hide for ronald reagan. >> back to the white house. >> back to the white house. back to the white house. raw hide is okay.

>> we interrupt, shots reported fired outside the hotel where president reagan spoke a while ago. her is bernard shaw in our washington bureau. >> okay. my apology. details are very sketchy at this moment. we don't know precisely what happened or the sequence. first of all, the president is safe. >> safe, yes, but not okay. >> reagan starts complaining of his back, chest, side. >> not feeling so good. >> just then i coughed and i had a handful of bright red frothy blood. and he said, i think i've cut the inside of my mouth. i said, let me look. and it was pretty profuse. >> parr knows this is big trouble. >> we have a decision to make. do i head back to the white house, safest place known in the universe? or go to george washington hospital, the nearest trauma center where there's not an ounce of security? >> we want to go to the emergency room, george

washington. >> that's -- >> ronald reagan's life literally in this day hung on the balance of a split second and mere inch. i'm not exaggerating. >> go to george washington fast. hustle, hustle. let's hustle. >> outside the hotel, the scene is chaotic. in the bedlam, the shooter is tackled. >> there was pushing, there was shoving. you hear the agent scream, get him out of here, get him out of here. >> get him out. >> and at the same time, an ambulance was arriving. >> come on, back it up, please. >> so i immediately went back to filming the scene. i thought i had to preserve history. >> it brought tears to my eyes. i still see brady lying there.

i still think about delahanti. i see his face. i still see mccarthy being lifted up off the ground and being thrown back by the bullet. >> within minutes of the shooting, president reagan arrives at george washington hospital. he insists on walking in. >> a nurse met me, and i told her i was having a little trouble breathing. >> the president was at the point where we in medicine would say he was ready to crash. >> the next thing i knew then was my knees began to turn to rubber and i wound up on a gurney. >> if he had gone to the white house, they would have dragged him out of the car, looked him oef and found out he was in big trouble, put him back in the car and drove him. it would have taken 10, 15, maybe more minutes. he didn't have that time. and there's a nurse there trying to get the president's blood

pressure and she can't detect it, she can't feel his blood pressure. he's not doing so good, going, oh my god, shehe's going to die i'm going to lose the president of the united states. >> i didn't know i was shot. >> i do believe he was minutes away from not making it. >> the shot that got me came off the side of the limousine and hit me while i was diving into the car and hit me back here under the arm and then hit a rib. and that's what caused an extreme pain and then it tumbled, it turned, instead of edgewise, it went tumbling town to within an inch of my heart. >> first lady nancy reagan is in the solarium at the white house when she gets the news. >> george, who was head of my detail, he said there's been a shooting, but don't worry, the president's all right. george kept saying, you don't have to go, he's all right. he hasn't been hurt. i said, george, i'm going. better get the car because i'm going.

>> she comes into the e.r., and the first thing ronald reagan says to her is, honey, i forgot to -- >> as he's prepped for surgery, reagan stays in character and jokes with his doctors. >> he looked at me, says, i hope you're all republicans. and i'm a notorious liberal democrat, and i said, today, mr. president, we're all republicans. >> the surgical team is led by dr. benjamin aaron. >> as the main head surgeon is digging through reagan's chest trying to find a bullet fragment, worry it could go into an artery and shoot into the president's brain and kill him, the doctor reached his hand in the president's chest, tucked the president's beating heart in his hand and held it aside. >> a 31-year-old surgical intern held the beating life of the president of the united states in his hands. >> while reagan is in surgery, the suspect, john w. hinckley jr. of evergreen, colorado, is

being questioned. >> he admitted who he was. he made no attempt to hide who he was. >> the fbi and secret service have two questions. why did he do it? and did he act alone? >> he said to them at the time, you'll understand why i did this when you see my room. >> according to sources, john hinckley jr., the accused gunman, may have tried to kill mr. reagan because of an infatuation for the young actress.

we can report that shots were fired as president reagan left the washington hilton hotel following that address we carried live here on cnn. >> the suspect was rushed to district of police headquarters. >> john w. hinckley jr., age 25, is a complete mystery to his captors. >> when i walked into the room, john thinkry was just sitting

quietly on his seat, showed no emotion. >> secret service agent is among the first to see hinckley. >> he told me that his wrist hurt because the handcuffs that were placed on him, and that his throat hurt. someone hurt his throat when they arrested him. >> well, certainly in my mind it was not typical that he was complaining about himself after he had just shot a number of people. >> as investigators begin to question hinckley, white house press secretary jim brady's wife, sarah brady, is at home with their 2-year-old son. >> we were sitting in our rec room watching television when they announced it. >> the president did not appear to be hurt, according to united press international. >> so i thought to myself, oh, that's great. never dreamed that jim would even have been with him for some reason. but the phone rang immediately. it was a friend of mine, and she

had heard that jim had been shot. >> the white house immediately sends a car to take sarah to the hospital. >> for some reason, i just thought he's been -- it just never dawned on me that he's badly hurt or killed. i just kept thinking he was shot in the arm. >> it's very obvious that he was seriously injured with gunshot wound to the head, but he was alive. he probably should not have made it, but he got exceedingly great medical care from a doctor named art. >> with her husband on his way to surgery, hospital workers usher mrs. brady into a secure waiting room. >> mrs. reagan came in and she came over to me and we hugged each other and she said, i am so scared. and i said, i am, too. >> while surgeons work to save the shooting victims, suspect

john hinckley is transferred to the fbi's washington field office for questioning. two senior fbi agents are assigned to conduct the interview. as a courtesy, they invite secret service agent steve colo to sit in. >> i was there in a liaison position at that time, keeping in mind the secret service could not be part of the investigation because technically the secret service is at fault any time one of our protectees has been shot or injured. >> before the questioning begins, the agents inventory hinckl hinckley's personal possessions. >> when they opened a wallet, there was a picture. the belief was that the picture of this attractive woman came with the wallet because she was somewhat recognizable as, like, a young starlet, but none of us knew her name. >> there was a piece of paper that was stuck in the bill fold section that had a telephone number on it. for one of the fbi agents said, oh, that's a connecticut

telephone number. >> when the interview begins, hinckley doesn't react well to the questioning by his fbi interrogators. so they ask agent colo to step in. within minutes, hinckley opens up. >> he told me about the different doctors that he had been to. he talked about dropping out of school. he talked about his relationship with his parents. and how annoyed they were with him. so i asked him, how could he explain his issues? he said, i had no direction in life. i decided to take a long shot. so i said to him, i saw the piece of paper with the telephone number. the number that goes to connecticut. when i said that to him, he all of a sudden became animated. here was a guy who was almost stoic in his answers and all of a sudden now he is twitching and says if you know about that, you know about everything.

and i knew i hit on a really important fact and i had no idea what he was talking about. so i said to him, i know, but i have to hear it in your words. he said, when a telephone number goes to yale university, it goes to jodie foster's room. and bingo. that was the picture in the wallet. >> back at the hospital, the doctor is meticulously removing bullet fragments and damaged tissue from jim brady's brain. the surgery is slow, delicate and dangerous. >> one point they're hearing on the radio that jim brady's died. someone rushes in to tell art, hey, they're reporting jim brady's dead. art turns to the guy and says, what do they think i'm operating on, a corpse? that's what he said. >> and they kept it totally away from us because we had no television or anything like that which is really good. >> but a lot of people did hear. including friends who are

watching tv with the bradys 2-year-old son, scott. >> they showed his picture. scott goes, oh, there's my daddy and went up to kiss the screen. of course, he didn't -- he didn't know. >> after five hours, the doctor emerges from the operating room. >> the minute i saw his face, i knew it was successful. i mean, it was a miracle. >> against all odds, jim brady survives. though he'll be permanently disabled and wheelchair bound for the rest of his life. the other victims also undergo surgery and survive. secret service agent tim mccarthy was hit in the chest, and d.c. policeman tom delahanti was shot in the back. that evening, fbi agents searched john hinckley's washington, d.c., hotel room. >> hinckley had laid out, this

was the bizarre thing, really bizarre. he had laid out there from the morning's newspaper and the president's schedule, he had beside that a statement, really in the form of a letter to the actress, jodie foster. >> in hinckley write, i'm going this for your sake, jodie, ask you to look into your heart with this historical deed to gain your love. i love you forever, john hinckley. >> it's when we read the letter from hotel room that we finally put the pieces together. >> it looked to all of us, gut feeling, this is a lone gunman and there was the motive, to impress this actress. >> we can understand political motives, but here we have a motive of love.

hello, everyone. don lemon here in new york. we have breaking news right here on cnn. we're hearing of a major development in the multistate amber alert case of missing teen, 16-year-old hannah anderson. and her alleged abductor, james dimaggio. they're preparing right now for a press conference in san diego. the reporters and the producers and camerapeople are getting ready and also members of police departments and investigators. apparently there has been, we believe, a culmination to this case. some news breaking.

some developing news. i want to get straight to cnn's paul buchanan following the story from the very beginning. he is in san diego. paul, what are you hearing? what are your sources telling you? >> well right now, a top placed law enforcement official is saying that he, quote, thinks the suspect is dead stopping short of saying he is dead and not addressing whether or not hannah is alive. again, a top well-placed law enforcement sourcing he thinks the suspect is dead. interesting, don, because we heard from the suspect's friend that this is the anniversary of his father's suicide, and he had feared a eed all along that som could happen dramatic today involving dimaggio. >> paul, let's talk a little bit more about this, because, again, she is 16 years old. she went missing. and then give our viewers just a little bit of a background here. this all started on sunday when san diego county firefighters responded to calls at dimaggio's house that it was engulfed in

flames. then they found the body of hannah's mother inside. and then on monday, they issued an amber alert for dimaggio, for hannah, then for ethan, her brother. and that was the first time, paul, that california had sent out amber alerts on cell phones, then on wednesday the teen was spotted with dimaggio by a horseback rider in a remote and rugged area about 70 miles from boise, idaho, near cascade, idaho, where they held a press conference earlier today. then on friday, idaho state police were searching that area. they found the suspects, the abdu abductor's missing car, the one that was registered to dimaggio, near a remote trailhead. then this morning there came confirmation that a body that was found in the home, in the burnt out house, was 8-year-old ethan anderson which is hannah's brother. of course, he killed her mother as well.

paul is in san diego, and i want to tell our viewers, again, we're following breaking news here on cnn. we're awaiting a press conference in san diego where there is a major development in the case of california missing teen, hannah anderson. more on this after a quick -- oh, let's stand by. let's see. they are walking up to the microphones now, and why don't we listen in to this press conference in san diego? >> thank you for being here today. during an arrest attempt at the north end of moorhead lake in idaho, suspect james lee dimaggio was shot and killed by an fbi tactical agent assigned to an fbi headquarters unit. hannah anderson was located with dimaggio. she appears well and was rescued and will be transported to a hospital in idaho. to recap, this operation

started on wednesday when some hikers spotted two people they thought resembled dimaggio and anderson. as you recall, then friday morning the blue nissan versa was discovered and that led to a really a massive federal, state and local manhunt in the idaho area wilderness outside of cascade, idaho. i want to emphasize what a collaborative effort this search and recovery effort really was. sheriffs department had personnel from san diego county, the vada county and ada valley sheriffs department, unprecedent response by the fbi, salt lake city officer, portland, san francisco, and fbi headquarters sent units out there to assist in the search along with u.s. marshals, idaho state police officers, and customs and border protection. it truly was a joint effort and

i'm pleased to stand here today and say that hannah was successfully rescued and appears to be in pretty good shape. i would also like to thank the media, as you recall, we did not originally issue the amber alert in idaho, but it was because of the extensive coverage that this horrendous crime received from the media that these hikers in idaho were aware of hannah and missing, and dimaggio's whereabouts. so i thank you for your support. i'll answer any questions. i'd like to say that there is going to be a press conference in cascade, idaho, at 5:30 our time today. 6:30 their time. where a lot-details will be provided by the federal, state and local law enforcements on the scene up there that actually conducted the operation. brett anderson, hannah's father, has been notified. obviously he's elated that we found his daughter alive and

plans are being made now to reunite him with his daughter, hopefully tomorrow morning. yes? >> was there a fire fight? did dimaggio -- >> i'm not going to discuss any of the details because i don't have them down here. those will be issued this afternoon up in idaho, in about another hour from now. >> did you personally notify mr. anderson? >> i didn't personally do it, but obviously he was very relieved and very excited and looking forward to being reunited with his daughter. we're missing, not introducing the people standing with me. this is daphne hern, special agent in charge of the fbi in san diego. their assistance from day one on this matter has been invaluable. she's be assistant special agent in charge, rob howe. and patty duke in charge of our law enforcement. everybody knows captain duncan frazier who's led this investigation from the start.

[ inaudible question ] the family has been notified, as best as i know. i'm sure the grandparents have been notified also. 4:22 this afternoon, pacific standard time. that's when we were notified here, and we were pretty instantaneous communications with idaho. we were following it through their command post they set up there and the tactical units throughout in the field that did a tremendous job. i can't thank the federal government enough for all the resources, tactical resources they brought to bear on this that in my mind led to the successful resolution. >> sheriff, your reaction when you guys got that call? >> well, the first things is we were elated that hannah appeared to be safe and was rescued and will be reunited with her family in the near future. obviously we would like mr. dae imagi dimaggio to surrender and face justice in the court of law, but that's not going to be the case. >> did she have any injuries

that you know of? >> not that i know of. she's going to be taken to a hospital where she'll be thoroughly evaluated before any detectives or fbi agents interview her. [ inaudible question ] no, i don't have any information in that regard. [ inaudible question ] yes, mr. anderson will be transported to idaho and hopefully reunited with his daughter tomorrow morning sometime. >> what's next for the case? >> well, there's obviously still a lot of investigation to be done. we'll be talking to hannah, getting more details of exactly what happened and just kind of wrapping up our investigation. >> do you have any idea -- [ inaudible question ] >> i just know we had a lot of resources in that area, both on the ground and aerial resources. it's my understanding that the campsite was spotted from the air and then that the ground

units were sent into that area which eventually led to the confrontation. >> you talked about you were in constant communication. can you talk about interactions and how san diego investigators feel? >> well, we sent investigators, homicide investigators, child abuse investigators, and some of our evidence technicians up there realizing we were going to be processing the car and other things. so we were in communication, as was the fbi. they've been in our office. this has been a joint effort from really day one, and it's the way law enforcement is supposed to work. and i'm very gratified to see it resolved in this way with this joint effort and collaboration which was really unprecedented. okay? thank you, all, very much. >> okay. there, that's officials in san diego, california, saying that they have found hannah anderson, and she is alive. the 16-year-old that had been missing since sunday, really.

and they are also saying that the suspect, the 40-year-old suspect in all of this, james dimaggio, was killed. 4:22 pacific standard time. what they're saying is that a campsite apparently the two were at was spotted from the air. ground units were sent in. there was a shootout at the north end of moorhead lake in idaho. and james dimaggio was killed. there was an fbi tactical team there. that's a tactical team that located mr. dimaggio. the salt lake city police department was there. portland police department. san francisco's police department. the fbi, u.s. marshals. idaho state police. really an effort, a massive effort here to find him because he killed, or accused of killing, hannah's mother, setting his own house on fire, then killing hannah's mother as well and also killing her 8-year-old brother, ethan.

the father smoke at length here. brett anderson. on cnn to cnn's chris cuomo saying he was holding out all hope that his daughter was still alive, but he was realistic about his son because at the time his son's body had not been identified. and he said, but, you know, he thought it was probably his son. it was a very tough interview to watch. take a listen here as we go through that. >> my cousin called me and said, did you hear about jim's house? and so i just googled it and found, you know, the pictures and they said there was one body, which at the point i thought was jim, and so i was very upset for jim, and then things just downward spiraled from there. >> tell me about your kids, mr. anderson. tell me about hannah. tell me about ethan.

>> give me a second. >> i know this is difficult. i cannot imagine talking about my kids in this kind of situation, but we want people to feel connected to what's at stake here and who may be lost. so please, if you can, tell us about what made these kids so special to you. >> ethan wore his heart on his sleeve. he would give, do anything for anybody. loved everybody. he was just my buddy. we spoke quite often since i've been in nashville, and he would tell me his daily routines. he was just getting back into football for a second year. and hannah was just a beautiful, beautiful girl. very, very good student. hundreds and hundreds of friends. and there was nothing bad to say about my kids. they never did anything to anybody. they were always wonderful. we were pretty tight-knit, even though i was a couple thousand miles away.

>> this is a horrific story, obviously, and if there is, i don't know if there can be any good news in all this, i guess is mr. anderson has his daughter now. and according to the investigator there, he said that mr. anderson will be brought to idaho to meet with his daughter, to pick up his daughter. they're going to get more details from hannah. i want to go to miguel marquez in cascade, idaho. he's been following this search for us here on cnn. miguel, the news is is that james dimaggio is dead and hannah is still alive. what are you hearing where you are? >> yeah, the news is stunning. this has happened so fast. they ramped up so quickly here in the wilderness area outside of cascade. we know there were a lot of helicopters, planes in the air. one thing they were finding, there were big fires in the area so there was a lot of smoke. it wasn't very clear that they were able to get a very good picture of what was going on on

the ground. they knew how far they moved from the time the car had been dropped off, to the time that that person on horseback saw them. and then they knew that there was another 48, perhaps, 60 hours from that sighting to the point where they were on friday. they rushed everybody they could in here. to see those fbi agents and s.w.a.t. teams going in here in helicopters, it looked like a war zone here in idaho. they swarmed in here so quickly. clearly they have -- i think to everybody's astonishment, found them more quickly and resolved this in a way that is, i can't tell you how happy that family will be knowing the father, knowing the parents, and the grandparents and how distraught they were over losing christina, the only daughter of sarah brett, and their 8-year-old grandson, ethan. the kid who just liked to fish. all they wanted, all their hearts, all their soul, was in the hope that hannah would come home to them and they must be

overjoyed and partying and strangely enough, despite two family members have been killed, they must be overjoyed in san diego tonight. don? >> miguel, stand by. i want to get more information from you right after i update our viewers. miguel, don't go anywhere. again, this is breaking news right here on cnn. it is a major, major development in the multistate amber alert case of missing teenager p 16-year-old hannah anderson and alleged abductor james dimaggio. we heard moments ago from officials in san diego that james dimaggio is dead. 16-year-old hannah is safe and with police officers. and they are bringing her father to idaho to be with her. this happened in western idaho where dimaggio's car was found yesterday. the teenager was last seen a week ago at her cheerleading practice in san diego county, california. and joining me now on the phone is miguel marquez, who has been following this.

miguel, let's talk about the manpower involved here. a multistate, huge operation with the fbi, with san francisco police, portland police, salt lake police and u.s. marshals, idaho state police, among others. >> yeah, we know that the fbi brought in, alone, 150 agents and they were still ramping up. it's an enormous wilderness area. everybody realized that time was of the essence. that they had let time go between the time that the horseback rider spotted them and when they found the car and realized that these were the two that they were looking for. hundreds of individuals, and probably 150, perhaps 200 in the field today. what we were able to see, though, were customs and border patrol helicopters ferrying heavily armed and clad in military gear fbi s.w.a.t. teams, tactical teams that were

going into this very remote area. clearly they had -- i asked questions about drones and infrared technology that might have been used earlier. it gets cold here at night. we're at about 5,600 feet where we are, it's in the mid 40s. they were in 8,000 feet. it gets into the high 30s. very cold at night. very easy to see if you have the sort of technology that can see those people. it is not clear to me whether or not they had a beat on them as they went out this morning, but it is breathtaking how fast they brought this to a conclusion, how certain they were that they knew this was mr. dimaggio. i don't know how close they got to him, if they got him from a distance or if this was something closer in. there was great concern that he would end up taking hannah as a hostage and that she may have been killed either by him or in the crossfire. don? >> miguel marquez, stand by. we're not done with this. breaking news right here on cnn.

a major development in the multistate amber alert case of missing teen, hannah anderson and alleged abductor, james dimaggio. right now, investigators are telling cnn and the world that dimaggio is dead. 40-year-old james dimaggio is dead. and 16-year-old hannah is safe and with police. her father on the way to meet with her. details after a quick break.

hey, buddy? oh, hey, flo. you want to see something cool? snapshot, from progressive. my insurance company told me not to talk to people like you. you always do what they tell you? no... try it, and see what your good driving can save you. you don't even have to switch. unless you're scared. i'm not scared, it's... you know we can still see you. no, you can't. pretty sure we can... try snapshot today -- no pressure.

the beach on your tv is much closer than it appears. seize the summer with up to 50% off hotels at travelocity.

the breaking news here on cnn right now, is that a major development, there has been one in the multistate amber alert case of missing teen, hannah anderson. her alleged abductor, james dimaggio, we're told, is dead. dead. 16-year-old hannah is safe and with police officers. this happened in western idaho, where dimaggio's car was found yesterday. the teenager was last seen a week ago at her cheerleading practice in san diego county, california. joining me now is jim clemente, former fbi profiler, with information on this. an fbi tactical agent, tactical agent is apparently the person or persons, jim, who took that suspect down. >> yeah. that would be, don, they said in the press conference that it was a tactical agent from the fbi from headquarters. that would be code for the fbi's hostage rescue team.

they're the premiere hostage rescue team and tactical team in the country. they don't take credit for what they do. i think they should be given credit because obviously it was a dangerous situation. obviously they successfully subdued the subject and they saved hannah. i'm sure it was a major team effort, but the hostage rescue team is really top notch. >> we're told, jim, that the campsite was spotted from the air, and then this ground unit was sent in. or ground units were sent in and the fbi tactical agent, again, the one who got the suspect and then -- jim? >> yeah, the tactical teams, the hostage rescue team has air asset. it has helicopters and they are trained and operate in a quasi military fashion and can get from a helicopter to the ground in a very short period of time and they also have equipment to

be able to see through smoke and through night and any other obstruction. i'm sure that's the kind of equipment that was utilized and they were able to identify them, take the right time and place to come down and make the assault and they apparently rescued hannah safely. that's a wonderful thing. this is a very, very good result. >> it is. especially after everything that's happened. you know, her mother and her brother are gone. >> the guy was definitely desperate and violent and obsessed with her, and those are not good things to have together. i mean, it was a very dangerous situation for hannah. she apparently was in survival mode and she complied with him at least outwardly so he wouldn't kill her and kept her alive long enough for them to rescue her. >> a friend had heard him say he had a crush on hannah and hannah was uncomfortable about this.

of course, the concern, you know, i'm speaking the truth, the concern is if he was cornered, then who knows what he would have done to try to save himself and that hannah was possibly his last hope for not being killed or not being taken in. that he might take her hostage and try to go out in a blaze of glory. >> yeah, well, the fact is that there's very little difference between suicidal and homicidal ideation. obviously he's proven himself or had proven himself to be homicidal. this is also the anniversary of his father's suicide. i think there's a lot of suicide ideation going on in his head. he very well could have taken hannah with him. it's a good result. she was at grave risk. this is not something that happens all the time when you have somebody who's proven himself to be so violent and abducts a child then the child survives. so especially after this ma days. so she's a very, very lucky young girl. >> hey, jim clementi, you have

so much knowledge about this. you're a retired fbi now, former profiler. >> i was on the child abduction rapid team when i was in the unit. >> that's how we met when i worked in st. louis. we were covering a case when you were the lead on that case. hey, stand by, jim clemente. i want to, our viewers to hear exactly how this went down and then we will get back to jim clemente. here is the press conference. >> at the north end of moorhead lake in idaho, suspect james lee dimaggio was shot and killed by an fbi tactical agent assigned to an fbi headquarters unit andh deimagine wroe. she appears well and was rescued and will be transported to a hospital in idaho. to recap, this operation started on wednesday when some hikers spotted two people they thought resembled dimaggio and anderson.

as you recall, then friday morning the blue nissan versa was discovered and that led to a, really a massive federal, state and local manhunt in the idaho area wilderness outside of cascade, idaho. i want to emphasize what a collaborative effort this search and re ofry recovery effort really was. the sheriffs department had personnel from san diego up there. the valley county and ada county sheriffs department. unprecedented response by the fbi, salt lake city officers, portland, san francisco, and fbi headquarters sent units out there to assist in the -- in the search along be u.s. marshals, idaho state police officers, and customs and border protection. it truly was a joint effort and i'm pleased to stand here today and say that hannah was successfully rescued and appears

to be in pretty good shape. i would also like to thank the media. as you recall, we did not originally issue the amber alert in idaho, but it was because of the extensive coverage that this horrendous crime received from the media that these hikers in idaho were aware of hannah and missing and dimaggio's whereabouts. so i thank you for your support. i'll answer any questions. i'd like to say that there is going to be a press conference in cascade, idaho, at 5:30 our time today. 6:30 their time, where a lot more details will be provided by the federal, state and local law enforcements on the scene up there that actually conducted the operation. brett anderson, hannah's father, has been notified. obviously he's elated that we found his daughter alive. and plans are being made now to

reunite him with his daughter hopefully tomorrow morning. yes? >> was there a fire fight? did dimaggio fire tsh. >> i'm not going to discuss any of the details because i really don't have them down here. those will be issued this afternoon up in idaho, in about another hour from now. [ inaudible question ] >> the sheriff s department personnel notified mr. anderson this afternoon. i didn't personally do it, but obviously he was very relieved and very excited and looking forward to be reunited with his daughter. we're missing not introducing the people standing with me. i'm sorry. this is daphne hern, special agent in charge of the fbi in san diego, who their assistance from day one on this matter has been invaluable. she's with assistant special agent in charge, rob howe. my left, patty duke, assistant in charge of our law enforcement. everyone knows captain duncan frazier who's led this investigation from the start. >> did you let the grandparents know? >> the family has been notified as best as i know.

i'm sure the grandparents have been notified also. 4:22 this afternoon pacific standard time. that's when we were notified here, and we were, had instantaneous communications with idaho. we were following it through their command post they set up there and tactical units in the field that did a tremendous job. i can't thank the federal government enough for all the resources, tactical resources they brought to bear on this that in my mind led to the successful resolution. >> sheriff, your reaction when you guys got that call? >> the first thing, we were elated hannah appeared to be safe and rescued and will be reunited with her family in the near future. obviously we would haveimaggiur that's not going to happen. >> officials in san diego giving us the breaking news on cnn. 40-year-old james dimaggio has been killed by fbi tactical

agents in idaho. a 16-year-old hannah anderson is alive. and is being transported now to the police department where she will meet her father, with her father, soon. we're going to take a quick break here. and when we come back, we'll get more information, more details on how this happened, how all of this went down, and also there's a press conference that's scheduled to happen. we'll carry that for you as well. we're look after a quick break. so...
