DiMaggio, who was suspected of kidnapping 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and killing her mother and 8-year-old brother, was shot and killed by an FBI agent. The suspect was armed with at least one weapon that he was carrying in a shoulder holster, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said.
The manhunt began Aug. 4, when firefighters found the bodies of Hannah's mother and younger brother at DiMaggio's burning home in San Diego. It ended in the Idaho wilderness on Saturday, police said James Lee DiMaggio fired at least one shot at authorities before he was killed.
Authorities were alerted when two horseback riders spotted DiMaggio and Anderson. Christa and Mark John said the two weren't dressed properly and their behavior was a bit off. They didn’t fit in, they looked out of place.
Hannah Anderson wore what looked like pajama bottoms. He had brand-new camping gear, and a cat. “Like a square peg going into a round hole,†Mark John said.
The FBI search team found the two near Morehead Lake, about 75 miles north of Boise, officials said.
A pair of U.S. marshals in a surveillance plane spotted them at a campsite. To avoid alerting DiMaggio, a team was dropped a far distance and hiked two hours in the steep terrain.
Authorities have offered very few details. They did announce that the Sheriff's Department has scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. Monday in San Diego.
