Cops Rescue Teen; Abductor Is Dead

She's safe: Authorities rescued 16-year-old Hannah Anderson today in remote central Idaho, reports AP. An FBI agent, or agents, shot dead her abductor, James DiMaggio. "She appears well and was rescued and will be transported to a hospital in Idaho," says San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, as quoted by CNN. He said Hannah's father is obviously elated at the news, and the two should be reunited by tomorrow morning.

Gore says their campground was spotted from the air, but he offered few details about the confrontation that ensued, reports the San Diego Union-Tribune. Authorities suspect the 40-year-old DiMaggio killed Hannah's mother and younger brother in California earlier this week, then went on the run with Hannah. A horseback rider spotted the two on foot a few days ago in in central Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, and a massive search ensued. (More Hannah Anderson stories.)
