he groomed hannah.he groomed this whole thing to happen. >> authorities, too, were beginning to see signs of premeditation. like a walmart bag found discarded on an idaho roadside. >> now, inside the walmart bag is a receipt. >> ralph powell is the director of the idaho state police. >> also in the bag are two mres and one of those head lamps. the date on the receipt is before the abduction date, before the date that the house caught on fire. it's before the kidnapping. which means this is premeditated. >> and officials found a timed device, used to start the fire. >> they also said it was a very sophisticated incendiary devise that lit the house on fire, which is very confusing for us, because jim couldn't work the remote control. >> andrew spanswick is friend and spokesman for the dimaggio family. >> the family obviously doesn't know what's going on. what we don't know is a lot more interesting than what we do know. >> for both families at the center of this tragedy, there is plenty that doesn't add u

as we were observing at least at one point hannah, we saw hannah waving a brightly-colored cloth towardthe sky. so as to signal us. >> i remember being in the command center at the time. a few minutes later, you heard someone say "and a cat." we had heard from the horseback riders that these two had a cat with them. not something you normally see in idaho back country on a camping trip. so when we heard that, i can remember thinking, okay, that's them. and she's alive. let's do this. >> next, two fbi hostage rescue teams were dropped from helicopters deep into the woods. a two-hour hike to dimaggio's camp. they quietly surrounded it and waited for the perfect chance. >> those two hours were pretty tense. we had every reason to believe that he was likely armed, certainly dangerous. >> i think there were a hundred or more feet between dimaggio and hannah at the time tactical activities started. that distance was increasing. >> they infiltrated and jim dimaggio had a rifle. he fired it once. the second time he fired, he was killed probably instantly by the fbi hostage rescue team. >> repor

tell me about hannah. tell me about ethan. >> give me a second. >> ethan would do anything for anybody. loved everybody. he was just my buddy. >> just like tina was jenim's buddy. >> she was here at this exact table two weeks ago playing board games. and so that monday was the last time i saw her. and i've kept her text. because i can't -- i don't want to let go of the last little funny things that we talked about. >> and hannah, she had disappeared. >> new information in to cnn suggests that only hannah anderson may have been abducted. >> a man hunt began that would span five states and three countries. >> this man hunt has now stretched into mexico. >> critical hours and days slip by as the man hunt continued. >> we didn't know what was going to happen with her. was his plan to run off? was it going to be a murder-suicide? >> august 6th, three days after hannah was last seen, bret had an urgent message for his daughter. >> hannah, we all love you very much. if you have a chance, you take it. you run. you

hannah was found safe. we'll have more details, back to you. >> judge jeanine: thanks so much for that. we hope to be back with you. on the phone right now, we have brett anderson, hannah's father joins us. brett, are you there? >> yes, i am. >> judge jeanine: i feel terrific. i can't imagine how you feel. talk us? >> i have very mixed emotions. i'm ecstatic that my daughter, we will be reunited. i'm still saddened for my wife and son. i'm worried about what my daughter has been put through. i'm very mix of emotions. >> judge jeanine: do we know whether or not hannah is aware of the fact that her mother and brother are dead? >> i am not aware of that yet. that is something hopefully i'll know more about tomorrow and the detectives are looking into that. i want to say something to everybody out there. i am a big advocate of the amber alerts going out nationwide. obviously it helps make a difference and hopefully it will make a difference in a lot more cases. >> judge jeanine: you had an opportunity to see ha

hannah had not been seen since then. led law enforcement to western idaho where james dimaggio was found dead and killed today. the information coming just a short time ago. that hannah's father is on his way to meet with his daughter. stay tuned to cnn for more details and updates. i'm don lemon in new york. good night. >>> suspect james lee dimaggio was shot and killed. >> breaking overnight, alleged kidnapper james dimaggio is dead and 16-year-old hannah anderson is alive. we have details on the dramatic rescue after a week-long manhunt. >> i'm so glad she's safe! so glad she's safe. >> also in this morning, hannah anderson's family, seen there, rejoicing with word she's safe. you're going to hear their first reactions when they got the news. >>> and the fire wasn't damaging enough. that is the word from fema about that wildfire in arizona that took

and hannah managed to survive a shootout. she has been taken to the hospital where she is being inspected to see if she is okay. her father, who was very concerned and had appealed to dimaggio to let her go is being taken from san diego to meet her and they will probably be reunited in the morning. we are kpe we are expecting a press conference from the fbi to see how the tactical operation played out and find out precisely how dimaggio died. hanna, 16-year-old is safe. her mother and brother were killed in a fire at dimaggio's house, he abducted hannah who we believe he had a long obsession with. his car was found close to the catching site where they were found today. then the man hunt was under way. 150 fbi officers have been looking along with hundreds of local enforce many, going through the wilderness on foot and on horse back. finally they were spotted today and finally she has been found safe, judge, we will have more details as they come out in the next hours. back to you. >> all right, thank you so much for that. an

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...

(announcer) bring the adventure to their bowl with a you certainly are. whole world of exciting flavors. friskies. feed the senses. but you had to leave rightce to now, would you go? world, man: 'oh i can't go tonight' woman: 'i can't.' hero : that's what expedia asked me. host: book the flight but you have to go right now. hero: (laughs) and i just go? this is for real right? th

you spoke to hannah's dad. have you been able to touch base with anyone since hannah has been found? >> no, i haven't. >> tell me your own relief, angelina. >> tears of joy. when my daughter called me i literally hit the brakes on the car and a lump went in my throat and i started crying. >> did you know dimaggio? >> i have met him and had lunch with him at hannah's sweet 16 party, yes. >> did you think he was freaky or had something in his own mind going on with the 16-year-old? >> no, actually i didn't. if i did, bret and tinafirsthan. >> so this came as a surprise. was hannah a normal 16-year-old in every regard. >> 100%, happy, typical 15, 16-year-old. she turned 15, 16-year-old but a typical teenager. >> did she have a boyfriend. >> she had boy crushes. >> all right. so there was nothing as far as you know nothing between the two dimaggio -- did you think of him as part of the family, angelina? >> as bret and tina's family, yes. i didn't have that kind of relationship with him to feel that way but i knew t

hannah will not testify.e sort of sensational first arraignment, first appearance in court. let's see what her grandma had to say about that. >> the way it ended up for both hannah and jim, it's fitting. no one wants to go through years of jury trials and putting hannah through any of that. so, you know, i wouldn't want to see any dead, but it happened, and we're excited to have our daughter -- granddaughter home. >> clearly, she was alluding to the killing of the suspect, dimaggio, in the idaho mountains. let's hear what mr. anderson had to say in a statement. i am nervous, excited, saddened for my wife and my son and worried that what my daughter has been through, it is now healing time. also, fredericka, don't forget that in san diego all week long, war room was set up in the sheriff's office. we understand on saturday, there were 30 detectives, agents up there, an all-star team, if you will, of crime solvers. when they got this word, we understand they were hugging and even veteran, hardened, hardened age

tonight, rescuing hannah anderson. comes after she survived after being in the hands of a killer? stopping and frisking hundreds of people every day. most of whom are guilty of nothing. most of whom are african-american or hispanic. a judge called it a kind of racial profiling. others say it's just good policing. we'll explore both sides and you can make up your own mind. >>> later tonight, what every expecting parent needs to know about a study linking induced labor with autism. how worried should you be? we'll talk to dr. sanjay gupta for the facts. we begin with a young woman's rescue.

and, of course, hannah quite by accident. and they discovered them in the vast idaho wilderness, they looked way out of place. the fact that he had new camping equipment, he was up on a ridge in an odd place. her feet were in the water. they seemed to not want to discuss anything with them, they were alerted something was odd. later they saw hannah's picture on the news. one of the horseback riders was an ex-sheriff, he knew enough to call his contacts at the state police. in the end it took an fbi crew, they were helicoptered in, they hiked two hours, snuck up on a campsite, and by all accounts, dimaggio, who was armed picked up a rifle, fired once and then the lethal blow, the return fire from the fbi, piers. >> hannah had no idea he had set fire to his house killing her mother and little brother. >> this is what detectives maintained all along. she not only did not know that he had killed her mother and her brother, but she had no idea that his rural home had been set on fire, that's about a three acre property, it's spraw

and hannah is alive. paul vercammen is live for us right now in san diego with hannah's grandparents who have been through so much this week. paul. >> reporter: well, fredricka, joining me now are sarah and her husband ralph. of course, you now have had time to process a little bit of this information and tell us how you're feeling now that you know that hannah's safe. >> we're very excited. just ecstatic. jubilation. we couldn't ask for anything more. this is the outcome we wanted. >> it's relief. relief. i was hoping it wouldn't be a long confrontation, and it wasn't. so thankful for that. >> reporter: i'm going to step aside and allow you to look at something here. in your front yard of course you moved the statue of for you this is hannah and her 8-year-old brother, ethan. and he often would read to her. tell us a little bit about their relationship, if you could please, come back here. >> hannah and ethan were very, very close. there's seven years between them. and hannah was, you know, part-time mot

agents moved in to rescue hannah. the suspect is deceased. >> reporter: fbi releasing few details, saying the entire operation will now be reviewed by a team heading here from washington with dimaggio considered armed and dangerous and hannah a potential hostage, the stakes enormous. >> this is a homicide suspect that was in a very rugged area, and we had a 16-year-old girl. we had to look at tactical issues. it is certainly a complex search. >> reporter: a complex and successful operation ending a week of fear and grief. miguel marquez, cnn, cascade, idaho. >> and more of our coverage breaking overnight. we turn now to san diego, where hannah anderson's family is, as you can imagine, over the moon after hearing news of her rescue. >> that's right, and cnn's casey wian is outside of the sheriff's department there. casey, this has been such a difficult time for the family and for hannah's friends. how are they doing and what's next for them? >> well, brianna and christi, they're doing a lot better than they were a week

h hannah anderson was located with dimaggio.ppears well and rescue and will be transported to a hospital in idaho. >> this case brought to mind another murder/kidnapping that ended in idaho back in 2005 that we covered very extensively when a serial killer of multiple sex offender joseph edward duncan snatched an 8-year-old snamed shasta and her brother, 9-year-old duncan after murdering the children's mother and brother and the mom's fiancee, and folks, you may remember how shasta was rescued after the perpetrator brought her out of the wilderness to have dinner at a local denny's restaurant. her brother had already been killed by duncan, and duncan by the way is now serving nine life sentences. craig interviewed shasta in october of last year. >> when she was just 8 years old, shasta groene and her 9-year-old brother dillon were the subject of a massive manhunt in 2005. >> i made it out okay and my brother didn't. i wish it didn't happen that way and i wish we could have both gotten out together. >> for the first time shasta,

we have bizarre new details of the alleged kidnapping of 16 hannah anderson, the couple who spotted hannah and her suspected captor in idaho say the teen was wearing pajamas and she and dimaggio were camping with a cat. >> these people did not want to talk to us whatsoever. and i said to the girl soaking her feet, i said what are you doing with your feet in the water, i said don't you know there's fish in there, kind of joking. and as we turned to ride away, she didn't make any comment until we started riding away and she says it looks like we're all in trouble now. all of their gear looked like it was brand new. that was another little flag that wasn't -- just wasn't normal or natural. >> hannah anderson expected to rejoin her father, brett, today for the first time since a once-trusted family friend shattered their lives. hannah was rescued from the idaho wilderness yesterday after the fbi shot and killed her alleged kidnapper james dimaggio and also suspected of 34urding hannah's mother and little brother. fbi rescue teams hiked for hours to find her. some rescuers wept when mission end

hannah anderson is a victim. >> i want to emphasize during the law enforcement interviews with hannahecame very clear to us, very clear, that she is a victim in every sense of the word in this horrific crime. from the time of her abduction to her recovery in idaho, she was under extreme, extreme duress. >> reporter: two weeks after making that statement, nothing's changed here at the sheriff's department. their investigation has found hannah anderson was nothing more than a victim in this case, pure and simple. jim dimaggio was the perpetrator and he is dead. the case closed. it is cut and dry. >> for them it's cut and dry. >> reporter: jennifer willis is the late christina anderson's aunt. >> i just get this feeling it's not as cut and dry as it seems. i don't know how he could have done something like that to his friends. i just don't feel at ease about it at all. it's not cut and dry. >> reporter: for years, jim dimaggio was the family friend. the cabin dimaggio owned an hour outside of san diego was the anderson family getaway. but will else says in the past year, the family dynam

hannah anderson was located with dimaggio.ll and will be transported to a hospital in idaho. to recap this operation started on wednesday when some hikers saw two people that recement bld dimaggio and anderson. friday morning the blue nissan versa was discovered and that led to a massive federal, state and local manhunt in the idaho area wilderness outside of cascade, you idaho. what a collaborative effort and search and recovery effort really was. the sheriff's department had personnel from san diego up there, very valley county and aida county, unprecedented response by f.b.i., salt lake city, san francisco and f.b.i. 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. i'm pleased to 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 had not originally ironed the amber alert in idaho but because of the extensive covera

hannah had not been seen since then.ip led law enforcement to western idaho where james dimaggio was found dead, killed, today by fbi agents. i want get now to marc klaas, of course, the father of polly klaas who went missing almost 20 years ago, october of 1993. marc, you've been a bit critical of the emergency system, the amber alert that was put out in california, and other areas. and, but now it has come to this. do you think that this amber alert helped in this case? >> ultimately, i do, don. and let me just say how -- how important this is, what an object lesson this has to be for a small agency throughout the country, that if one of your, children is taken, you need to get ahold of the fbi. they have resources that are unavailable any place else. they have -- they have the ability to organize massive amounts of agencies, multiagency task forces and bring it to this result. i think my criticism of amber alert stands. i think that it was rolled up very, very badly and i think that many people have probably opted out

records show hannah and dimaggio called each other 13 times before he allegedly killed hannah's mother and then kidnapped hannah. san diego authorities told the los angeles times that hannah is a victim and was, quote, not a willing participant. also, authorities seized letters from hannah from dimaggio's home along with a handcuff box, dna swab kit, used condoms and hannah has mentioned the ordeal on numerous social media posts saying she never told her parents about dimaggio's crush on her because he was her dad's best friend. joining us now psychologist wendy walsh joins us from los angeles. attorney holly hughes joins us from atlanta. good to see you both again. thanks for coming back to talk with us about this. i want to start with you. let's get your reaction to the 13 calls hannah dimaggio exchanged that we're learning about now and the letters from hannah found in dimaggio's home. what do you think about that? >> i'm actually not surprised. i've always had suspicions the degree of his manipulation, his grooming, and his abuse of this young girl may have started long before this

agents moved in to rescue hannah. the suspect is deceased. >> the 40-year-old was killed when confronted. it is not clear what hannah saw of his end. >> this was, you know, started essentially in earnest yesterday morning and today less than 36 hours later she is home and she is safe. hannah is safe. >> reporter: as good an ending as possible for a horrific story. while hannah seems physically fine from everything we've heard, it will take a lifetime for her to recover. the story is winding down for us but for her it just beginning. the first order of business for her when she gets back home, funerals of her mother and her brother. chris? >> miguel, important point, so much pain here. thank you for your reporting throughout the week. we also want to play up the fact this was seen as unlikely. the idea that hannah is back home with her father is good news any way you look at it. in big part it because of those eagle-eyed horseback riders who spotted hannah anderson and james dimaggio and they are being haled today righ

said that hannah's doing well. also thanked the news media in playing a role for helping return her safely to the san diego area, erin. >> dr. gardere, you've seen hannah for the first time and we're learning more details as we just said, the horrific situation in which her mother and brother lost hair lives and james dimaggio killed them, but investigators say james dimaggio and hannah anderson called each other 13 times before her phone was turned off the day she disappeared. we don't know if they actually spoke or what, but 13 times. what do you make of that? >> well, it could have been she was calling in response to him, if she didn't get the call, returning the call. we don't really know. >> right. >> but what it does tell me clinically is certainly there was some sort of a relationship between this individual dimaggio and with hannah. now, we'll just assume hannah wanted no parts of it, but it seemed to me if you're calling 13 times and we discussed this, is this some sort of an obsession. obviously we know t

this is hannah anderson. she is safe this morning after her alleged kidnapper shot dead by fbi agents in the woods of idaho. >> live in los angeles with the very latest on this story. good morning to you, dominic. >> good morning. this is hannah's first place in safety after a week, after the deadly conclusion with the multi-state manhunt in the kidnapping by james difficult imagine wrote. she's been under evaluation since she was rescued 3:20 local time saturday. law enforcement tracked her and dimaggio to a camp site near moorehead lake in the wilderness after the couple were spotted by a search plane. that led to a confrontation by the kidnapper. >> in an arrest attempt at the north he said of morehead lake in idaho, suspect james lee dimaggio was shot and killed by an fbi tactical agent assigned to an fbi unit. hannah anderson was located with dimaggio. she appears well and was rescued and will be transported to a hospital in idaho. >>> this is how they had been led there. they had been seen on the trail

when hannah was born. and just complete shock. >> does hannah know at this point about what happened to her and her brother? >> we don't know. we don't know what she saw or heard or -- we don't know any of that. hannah's the only person that knows what happened that night. >> we've heard some wonderful things though about your daughter and about your grandchildren over this past week. sarah, is there something you would like us to know about tina? >> she was a strong person. she loved her children dearly. very protective of them. >> she's like our family. our family's very strong. she was an excellent mother. would do anything for her children. and apparently she just trusted jim and we all trusted jim. there was no reason not to ever. he was great to the children and to everyone in the family. and, you know, we just don't know what happened. >> let it serve as a warning. that's all we can say. >> it is unimaginable. please know that so many people are really thinking of you and sending you their best this

we have new details about hannah anderson. the couple that spotted hannah and her suspected captor in idaho says the teen was wearing pajamas and their camping gear looked brand new. >> these people did not want to talk to us whatsoever. and i said to the girl that was soaking her feet, i said what are you doing with your feet in the water? don't you know there's fish in there. kind of joking. then as we turned right away, she didn't make any comment. so we turned to go away and says it looks like we're all in trouble now. all of their gear looked like it was brand new. that was another little flag that wasn't -- just wasn't normal or natural. >> you're going to hear much more from these trail riders throughout the hour here on cnn. meantime, hannah anderson is expected to rejoin her father brett today for the first time since a once-trusted family friend shattered their lives. hannah was rescued from a idaho wilderness after the fbi shot and killed her alleged captor james dimaggio. also suspected of murdering her mother and
