James Lee DiMaggio Is Armed With Explosives

It has been six days now since James Lee DiMaggio kidnapped Hannah Anderson. It has been six days since he burned down his own home and killed Hannah's 8 year old brother and mother. Despite one of the most intensive manhunts ever, police are no closer to finding James Lee DiMaggio then they were when he fled. They did say they have reason to believe that he may have armed himself with explosives and that his car and body may be bobby trapped. Police also have reason to believe he is infatuated with the 16 year old Hannah and thinks they can build a life together. It was first suspected that DiMaggio had kidnapped both Hannah and her brother, but authorities have discovered the remains of a child in the burned down home, but were unable to extract any DNA from the body.

This is so beyond awful. I cannot comprehend. My insides are wailing.

Terrifying! I hope people whining about the amber alert think about it again.

EXPLOSIVES?
This wouldn't happen if there were controls selling explosives in the USA. Or even better, explosives were banned to the public.

Ask your senator to join the explosives control motion.

Gee. I hope no one has been bothered by those pesky Amber Alerts, or had to explain to their wee ones (who have smartphones) the reason for those pesky Amber Alerts.

@meanie you beat me to it. jumping on the bandwagon, enty?

Several new sites reported that DiMaggio took the girl to Hollywood for a week for a sweet 16 gift. Not her family, her. This was obviously months earlier but can you say "big, giant, flaming red flag?" Who the hell lets a middle aged man take their teenaged daughter on vacation alone?!

OMG...what some people are capable of. It's just sickening.

Its just U said...

What a horrible thing to happen. Poor kids.

Could be a carol fugat situation. Hope shes safe and sound.

auntliddy said...

And im sure the police know a great deal more about this situation than they are letting on. Letting him think they are stumped so he relaxes and does something stupid.

auntliddy said...

And notice the obligatory three name suspect! Freaky!

marie-ski said...

To Hollyweird of all places!

I pray this ends well. It's sickening.

This. +1000

Unknown said...

But damn those stupid amber alerts. What a pain in the ass they are. Eyeroll.

Unknown said...

@aunt liddy, speaking of Caril Fugate, she was just in a horrific car accident that killed her husband. She's in critical condition.

Wow, I didn't realize Fugate lived so close! Did you see the made for TV movie about them? Tim Roth played Starkweather. Renee Zellweger played Fugate's sister.

Kelly said...

Just terrifying. Please let her be okay.

@jessie Abso-f'n-lutely! Couldn't agree more!!

Amy in MI said...

Wow I didn't know Caril Fugate lived so close either!

califblondy said...

I think the cops know more and are ready to grab him. Has the child that died in the fire been identified? The dead woman's Mother was on the morning news asking him to let the girl go and said "you already took my only child." So sad.

car54 said...

Poor girl, she must be terrified.

Hope they find her soon.

Unknown said...

@jessie...
Exactly!!! That dick on TMZ pissed me off the other day.
He wouldn't feel that way if it was HIS loved one.

Unknown said...

Fingers crossed for her safe return. Watching her father on the news breaks my heart

Pip said...

Ikr, Amy?! I knew she lived in Michigan. For some reason I thought it was near West Branch, not the capital areal.

On topic, it sounds horrible, but I hope this guy is still fooled into thinking he can have a life with this teen. It is her only chance of getting out alive. Apparently he took on more of an uncle role for her, and her brother. In interviews with friends, this young girl was apparently creeped out by him. I guess the mom told him they were moving, and he went apeshit. I hope they find this pig alive.

what Jessie said +1000

Gee, maybe if the mother had been armed her son would still be alive and her daughter safe at home. At least she would've had a fighting chance. But why would anyone ever need a gun? That's just crazy talk!
