An AMBER ALERT has been issued for 16 year old Hannah Anderson and 8 year old Ethan Anderson who have been missing since Saturday, August 3, 2013 in San Diego, CA. The two children are believed to have been abducted by 40 year old James Lee Dimaggio. Hannah and Ethan’s mother, 44 year old Christina Anderson, was found dead inside a burning home owned by Dimaggio on Sunday night. The body of an unidentified child was also found in the burned rubble. Authorities also found a dog that had been killed in the structure where Anderson’s body was discovered.
Descriptions of the missing children and kidnapping suspect James Lee Dimaggio:
Police say DiMaggio could be driving a 2013 blue Nissan Versa with the California license plate 6WCU986.
The body of a child was also found while police were searching through the rubble.
Hannah Anderson is 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 115 pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes with a belly button ring, nose stud, and pierced ears.
Ethan Anderson is 4 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 64 pounds, and has blonde hair.
James DiMaggio is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is searching for Hannah Anderson, 16, and Ethan Anderson, 8, whose mother, Christina Anderson, 44, was one of two people found dead by authorities sent to extinguish a garage fire in the unincorporated community of Boulevard late Sunday.
Authorities said a second body — that of a child — was found in the rubble on the property. The child’s identity and manner of death remains undetermined. A dog was also found dead in the home, authorities said.
The suspect, James Lee DiMaggio, 40, owns the home at 2071 Ross Avenue in Boulevard, roughly 60 miles south of San Diego. DiMaggio and Anderson were in a “close platonic relationship,” according to a statement from the sheriff’s department.

Sheriff’s officials held a news conference several hours after the alert was issued.
Authorities believe either one or both of the children were abducted and are in danger, and they are working nonstop to find them, sheriff’s homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said. The FBI is assisting in the investigation.
DiMaggio is suspected of killing the children’s mother, Christina Anderson, 44, of Lakeside, and setting a fire Sunday night at his Boulevard residence, the lieutenant said. It was not disclosed whether Anderson was killed by the fire or another means. Remains of burned weapons were found in the house, Giannantonio said.
DiMaggio and Anderson were described as being close platonic friends and were not believed to be involved in a romantic relationship, the lieutenant said.
