LAKESIDE, Calif. — Authorities say a man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old Southern California girl might be armed with homemade explosives.
San Diego County Sheriff's Captain Duncan Fraser said Thursday that evidence from James Lee DiMaggio's home east of San Diego suggests he may have fled with explosives.
The search for Hannah Anderson and her younger brother has reached four Western states, Canada, and Mexico. The FBI and various state and local law enforcement agencies are assisting.
Fraser says it is possible DiMaggio was infatuated with the girl. Her mother was found dead at DiMaggio's burning home near a dead child who might be the younger brother.
Amber Alerts expanded to Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
Oregon State Police said there was a possible sighting of James Lee DiMaggio's blue Nissan Versa in northeast California near Alturas on Wednesday, followed by another about 50 miles along the same highway near Lakeview, in south-central Oregon.
In Washington, a driver near Bremerton reported seeing a blue Nissan hatchback on Highway 101 on Thursday morning with a man driving and a woman passenger.
