Definitely a blessing that Hannah wasn't aware her mom and brother had been killed while she was being held captive by DiMaggio.
Authorities confirmed today that Hannah was physically unharmed, but I didn't see it specifically mentioned as to whether Hannah was sexually abused by DiMaggio. If she was, not sure that detail will be released by authorities unless Hannah wants to disclose it publicly.
Anyway, glad she's been safely reunited with her dad and that authorities are committed to assisting her in dealing with her losses and trauma.
Here's a recap of confirmations and new details released by the San Diego Sheriff (Bill Gore) today:
-Hannah Anderson was not aware that her mother and brother had been killed as she was driven across several states and into the Idaho wilderness.
-Hanna was being held "under duress" by James Lee DiMaggio. Gore's comments are the first definitive indication that Hannah Anderson did not accompany DiMaggio willingly.
-The Sheriff's department's focus now is on trying to get Hannah all the resources, the help she needs to get through this extremely traumatic ordeal she’s been through.
-DiMaggio fired at least one shot at authorities before he was fatally wounded by an FBI agent.
-DiMaggio was armed with at least one weapon that he was carrying in a shoulder holster, Gore said.
-Hannah Anderson was physically unharmed.
