SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man who died in a shootout with FBI agents after kidnapping a 16-year-old girl and killing her mother and brother named a member of the victims' family as his life insurance beneficiary, a spokesman for the man's family said Monday.
James Lee DiMaggio left $112,000 to Hannah Anderson's paternal grandmother, said Andrew Spanswick. He didn't know why but believes it was for the benefit of Hannah, the girl he abducted.
Hannah was rescued in the FBI shootout on Aug. 10 in the Idaho wilderness and returned home to San Diego.
DiMaggio, 40, had been like an uncle to the Anderson children and the father's best friend.
