Hannah Anderson speaks about her ordeal

[alp227]

Kidnap victim Hannah Anderson, whose mother and brother were murdered by close family friend Jim DiMaggio before he abducted her and took her to Idaho, talked publicly Thursday for the first time about her family and her ordeal.

In an interview with the "Today" show, the 16-year-old Lakeside girl got emotional when talking about her 8-year-old brother, Ethan, saying he “had a big heart.” She said her mother, Christina Anderson, 44, was strong-hearted and tough. Thoughts about her mom kept her strong as she struggled to survive in the Idaho wilderness, Hannah said.

She also said that her mom's strong spirit continues to help her as she copes with her losses.

Hannah said that letters found from her at DiMaggio's Boulevard home and seized by authorities were about her mother and their relationship. She said she wrote them about a year ago when she and her mom were not getting along. “I’d tell him how I felt about it, and he helped me through it,” she said. “They weren’t anything bad. They were just to help me through tough times.”

1. Eh

I don't like speculating without all the evidence and I don't want to cast asparagus but I think this story smells. Hope that's not the case and it is as it's portrayed. Time will tell.
