There is another lengthy thread on this very subject on this site right now, and the majority of posters feel something is just very, very strange about this young lady. Maybe not to the point of saying she had a direct hand in what happened, but more along the lines of her behavior and attitude since being "saved" are inappropriate for someone who just lost her Mom and Brother, regardless of her age.
One day after "learning of their deaths" she was on a teen social media, sporting newly done fingernails, smiling that silly grin that seems welded to her face, and acting as if nothing had happened. She was talking about their deaths in a manner that seemed creepy to me. It put chills down my spine.
This whole situation is beyond weird.............what family in their right mind lets a 16 year old girl go on multi day trips , like the ones JD took her on several times ? No, there is something just not right here.
I was thinking about this case today and something dawned on me. A lot of people have tried to excuse her inappropriate behavior since this happened by saying "She is only 16, what do you expect." However, she got a lot of flack on that social media forum she was on by OTHER young kids who also could not understand how she could be so cold after what happened. They really took her to task on it to the point where she told them to F off.
Kids are pretty astute about picking up on vibes, especially when another kid is involved. If they think something is not right here that tells you something.
I agree that there is much more to this story than meets the first look. Even before they were found, my gut was telling me this was not the same as most abduction situations. Evidence at least suggests it's possible she played a part in the deaths (at least had a motive for hating her mother) and he was hoping to take her away and cover it up — for whatever reason. Lately I've heard that there's a rumor in their neighborhood that DiMaggio was her biological father. That should be easy enough to either prove or disprove and it seems more than relevant.
As for ever knowing the truth, if the FBI does indeed still have an investigation on-going, I would support that. But I certainly hope it's a deep look at the total situation, not merely an investigation to justify DiMaggio being executed without a trial.
If he had a sexual relationship with her, that was, indeed, criminal even if it was consensual. But the entire family had a bizarre relationship with the strangely behaving DiMaggio for many years which may have contributed to his fixation on Hannah — as well as her seeming lack of sorrow or remorse in the deaths of her family members and/or the outcome of her "abduction."
I wonder about there ever being a complete resolution, though. Will law enforcement spend money continuing an investigation when (1) there is no longer any enthusiastic complainant, (2) when they believe they "solved" the tragic deaths, and (3) when they have a motive not to want their shooting of a suspect looked at further?
I have been tossing around a conflict. Minors are often tried as adults for murder and other violent crimes. Even minors who were victims of abuse. Abused women are expected to protect their children, regardless of being victims of abuse. Meaning, if a child dies, the mother is found equally guilty for not preventing the death of the child.
If Hannah was involved in the deaths of her mother and brother, manipulated or manipulator, she is a murderer first and foremost. Society has standards for right and wrong. There is no excuse for premeditated murder under the circumstances of this case. If Hannah had planned the murder of her "uncle," that could be different because it would be viewed as self defense. But planning the murder of her mother and brother is inexcusable.
Quite frankly I'm getting tired of hearing that being a victim would be an excuse. It's not.
I hope none of you are ever on a jury. Why not wait until the investigation is closed before making up your mind about someone you don't know. Hannah is probably on meds. Some of my answer's to the OP's questions:
Where and when to pick someone up from cheerleading practice can easily take 13 text messages. For example; Text one - Your mom called, I'm to pick you up from cheerleading. Where will you be? Text two -Okay. Pick me up at the side door. Text three - Which side door? Text four - The east side door. Text five - Oh, pick me up at 5pm. Text six - Okay. Text seven - We have to stay until 5:30 now, pick me up at 5:30. Text eight - Okay. Text nine - we are going to be in the gym making posters. Pick me up in back. Text ten - Okay Text eleven - why can't my mom pick me up? Text twelve - she's working. Text thirteen -okay. Her phone is turned off because they can't take calls turning practice. The killers? He probably knows he can't charge it on the run.
The police have the letters and they don't seem concerned. The letters could be emails you know. Or, perhaps she was grounded from the computer and phone. This was a dysfunctional family, they probably told her to talk to uncle DiMaggio. Remember he was their bff and they pushed the relationship. He was grooming Hannah and her family was clueless.
She wasn't alone with him in Hollywood, they stayed at her God father's house, he lives in Hollywood.
The friend was in the car with the two of them when DiMaggio said he had a crush, that's why she knows Hannah was upset.
As far as the social media, she's a goofy kid who wanted to talk to her friends. Grandma's asleep and she probably doesn't care to talk to her dad since he was DiMaggio's best friend.
The evidence includes DNA, he did it.
They are still investigating.
I've said from the get that knowing what the contents of the texts and letters were would go a long way in clearing up or confirming suspicions....
Thanks for sharing that about the god-parent, didn't know that.

I agree, Hannah and DiMaggio did have a strange relationship Christina Anderson seemed to condone.
Brett Anderson hasn't spoken out with opinion one way or the other, so we don't know what he was thinking.
This is a man who apparently had the families trust. I can't image being an adult going through this ordeal, let alone 16; it must seem very surreal. I don't want to judge.
Yeah, it is frightening. My state allows a 16yr age difference for 16-17yr olds.
In other states these relationships would come under sex offender.
Nothing on the list shows a 16 year age difference. The list must not be complete. Which state do you live in?
