August 3, 2013 Kidnapping of Hannah Anderson at Sweetwater High School in National City, California. 16-year-old Hannah Anderson was abducted after cheerleading practice by 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio who was infatuated with the girl, and had invited her mother Christina Anderson and brother Ethan Anderson as overnight guests at his home the previous evening. The bodies of the mother and brother were later found in DiMaggio's burned home. DiMaggio drove with her to Cascade, Idaho on August 10, a week after she was abducted. Dimaggio and Hannah were seen hiking in Idaho and briefly talked with some other people who contacted authorities after finding the "amber alert car" heavily camouflaged with tree branches. DiMaggio was killed by FBI agents during a shootout

Remarks: Looks more like a terrorist attack than a simple hostage taking. Murders two family members of "girlfriend", takes kidnapping / hostage, has incendiary devices, arson wire, uses tree branches to camouflaged car in military style, drives from California to Idaho? Did this guy have any connections to white nationalist extremists?

On or about the afternoon of August 3, 2013,[1] 16-year-old Hannah Anderson was abductedafter cheerleading practice from Sweetwater High School in National City, California.[2] The suspect was later identified by authorities as 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio, owner of a home in Boulevard, California, about an hour away, where Anderson, her mother Christina Anderson and brother Ethan Anderson had been overnight guests the previous evening.[3][4]The bodies of Christina and Ethan Anderson and the family's dog, Cali, were found in DiMaggio's burned home. An Amber alert was issued for Anderson, who was found alive inCascade, Idaho on August 10, a week after she was abducted. DiMaggio was killed by FBI agents during a shootout at the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho, where he had been camping with Hannah Anderson.[5]

Abduction and manhunt[edit]

Boulevard murders[edit]

James DiMaggio had invited Christina Anderson and her children to his home at 2071 Ross Avenue in Boulevard, ostensibly to say goodbye because he was planning to move to Texas.[6] The Anderson family stayed over at his home.[7] On August 4, a fire was reported at DiMaggio's house in Boulevard, where firemen found the bodies of Hannah Anderson's mother, Christina, her 8-year-old brother Ethan and the family dog, Cali.[8][9] Christina Anderson died of blunt force trauma, believed to have been caused with a crowbar. She was apparently tortured, and her body covered with a tarp. Cali was shot dead and covered with a sleeping bag. The fire was set after the victims were killed.[10] An arrest warrant was issued for DiMaggio.[11] Anderson's grandparents called the police and reported their grandchildren missing, prompting police to issue a statewide AMBER Alert,[12] the first alert sent out to cellphones in California.[13] The manhunt stretched from British Columbia, Canada to Baja California, Mexico.[14][15]

Sightings in Idaho[edit]

On August 8, a couple meeting the description of DiMaggio and Anderson was seen by horseback riders in Cascade, Idaho.[16] The next day, authorities were notified of this sighting after the riders watched a news report concerning the abduction.[17][18]

Shooting and rescue[edit]

According to Hannah Anderson, DiMaggio threatened to kill, with his gun, her and anybody who tried to rescue her.[19][20] On the same day, DiMaggio's car, a blue Nissan Versa, was discovered near the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The car's license plateshad been removed and brush was used to hide the vehicle.[12] On August 10, police discovered DiMaggio's campsite and an FBI tactical agent killed DiMaggio near Morehead Lake around 5 pm.[12] DiMaggio fired at least one shot at the officers, causing the officers to fire back and kill him.[21] DiMaggio was shot at least five times, in his head, arms and upper torso.[10] Anderson had no visible injuries, but was taken to a local hospital for crisis counseling.[22] Afterward, when asked if she was glad DiMaggio was dead, Anderson responded, "Absolutely." [23]

The suspect[edit]

The suspect was James Lee DiMaggio (January 17, 1973 – August 10, 2013),[3] age 40, a telecommunications technician in San Diego.[16] According to a friend of DiMaggio, his father, James Everet DiMaggio, died exactly 15 years to the day before his son. The friend said the elder DiMaggio, who was accused of attempting in 1988 to kidnap the 16-year-old daughter of an ex-girlfriend, committed suicide in August 1998. However, public records indicate his suicide was on August 10, 1995.[24]
DiMaggio was said to be the best friend of Christina's husband, Brett Anderson, and like an uncle to the children.[25] He had helped them with various tasks, such as driving Hannah and a friend from a gymnastics meet,[26] during which he had unnerved her by saying he'd like to date her, if they were the same age.[26] During a trip to Los Angeles with Anderson, DiMaggio also complained she "wasn't paying enough attention to him."[26] Anderson's friends said she did not like being alone with him and was "creeped out" by his comments on the drive from the meet.[26][27]
DiMaggio listed Brett Anderson's mother as beneficiary to his life insurance in 2011, while he lived with her. He intended the $112,000 for the children, but didn't trust their parents to handle it.[8] This revelation prompted members of DiMaggio's family to request a paternity test to determine if he fathered the Anderson children. Brett called the suggestion "disgusting" and an Anderson family spokeswoman said DiMaggio hadn't met Christina till she was six months pregnant with Hannah.[28] The DiMaggio family later withdrew their request for DNA testing.[29]
According to released warrants, DiMaggio received letters from Hannah Anderson which were found in his home by investigators, and exchanged over a dozen calls with her before the murders occurred.[30] However, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said Anderson was "a victim in every sense of the word" and did not willingly go with DiMaggio. Investigators do not suspect any complicity on her part.[31] Sheriff Gore also suggested that authorities may never be able to fully determine the reason for DiMaggio's crime rampage.[13]

A PROD not made by me was contested with the reasoning that "Deletion on the premise of "missing white woman syndrome" is horrifically racist and not basis for said deletion." However, that fails to establish my and others' main problem: this is a routine news story that was blown out of proportion due to missing white woman syndrome - WP:NOTNEWS applies. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 16:32, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete There have been a large number of articles added covering crimes that have no lasting impact or national/global scope in spite ofWP:EVENT. While kidnapping did cross multiple states, this kidnapping has not demonstrated that it will have any impact afterwards. At the risk of speculating, I would guess that this kidnapping won't have any lasting impact (beyond affecting the Amber Alert system) in the future. IMO, anything related to the Amber Alerts should go in the Amber Alerts article rather than here. Transcendence (talk) 23:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC) Interseted in Islam: Hello transcendence,
    I do believe you made a mistake by reverting my edits to Virtue. The content I removed was partially irrelevant, partially incorrect and full of language mistakes that made it almost impossible to understand.
    Examples:
    "According to the holy book of Qur'an, Islam is the word (which translated meaning is "submission"). The objective of this word is self submission to the will of Allah and obey his all instruction and restriction."
    "Foremost among God's attributes are mercy and compassion or, in the canonical language of Arabic, I-rahmani and I-rahimi. Each of the 114 chapters of the Qur'an, with one exception, begins with the verse, "In the name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful""
    These parts say nothing about the Islamic understanding of Virtue and the first one is barely comprehensible.

  • Strong Delete as totally tragic that this story is, there is no encyclopaedic analyse of the event in the article, no attempt to demonstrate any lasting significance to this crime, it is just a news story and as such has no place here by policy, is should be over at Wikinews. LGA talkedits 09:18, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


  • Delete There's no evidence of long-term effects of this event, failing NOTNEWS and NEVENT. This is type of story Wikinews is prime for, and mention in Amber Alert can point to that, but it is not an encyclopedic topic. Note: broad international coverage does not equate to notability, we are looking for the long-tail in sources, not a burst of broad coverage. --MASEM (t) 22:59, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
