It's being reported that these are Hannah's words. LE will neither confirm nor deny -
Hannah Anderson has spoken out about her ordeal and released pictures of herself over social media websites - fielding hundreds of questions from supporters and detailing her kidnapping by neighbor James DiMaggio.
Social media accounts belonging to the 16-year-old California girl have been updated with multiple photographs and lengthy posts talking about the kidnapping, the six-day manhunt that ensued and how she feels guilty about her mother and brother's death.
'He tricked us,' one post on her Ask.fm account said. She explained that DiMaggio told the Andersons to come over and ride go carts on his property. Once they arrived, he tied up her mother and brother and fled by car with Hannah.
'I will never forgive myself for not trying harder to save them,' another post read.
She reportedly wrote that DiMaggio had rigged the home with explosives so that the fatal fire that killed her mother, brother and dog did not start until after she and DiMaggio were well on their way to Idaho, where they were eventually spotted by horseback riders.
The post-kidnapping responses came mostly on Ask.fm, a social media site popular among teenagers where they pose questions to one another and answer back.
One user asked why she did not try to run.
'He had a gun and threatened to kill me and anyone who tried to help,' she wrote.
In addition to writing specific details about the case, Hannah's social media presence has given a glimpse into her life following her release.
She reportedly got a manicure on Monday and visited her grandmother. On Tuesday, she was reunited with her beloved cat.
