Family: Suspect In Idaho Rescue Had Several Bullet Wounds

A family spokesman says the man killed during an FBI rescue of a 16-year-old girl in the Idaho wilderness had multiple bullet wounds in his chest and one in the side of the head.

Andrew Spanswick said Wednesday the body of 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio was flown to Los Angeles. He says DiMaggio's sister, Lora, saw the bullet wounds before the body was cremated Tuesday. An autopsy report is expected Friday.

Hannah Anderson went on social media to answer questions about how she was kidnapped, how she survived six days of captivity and how she is dealing with the deaths of her mother and brother, who died in DiMaggio's burning home.

Her account was disabled Wednesday.
