Gore offered Fox 5 San Diego details Monday of the compelling end to the case that began with an Amber Alert Aug. 5, 24 hours after a house fire in Boulevard
 where two bodies were found.

Hannah was recovered Saturday in a remote part of Idaho after alleged kidnapper and killer Jim DiMaggio fired at least one shot on FBI agents sent to rescue her.

DiMaggio is suspected of killing Christina Anderson, also of Lakeside, and her son Ethan, 8. The authorities according to the Los Angeles Times also said that Hannah did not know of her mother's and brother's deaths after she was taken by the suspect, a longtime family friend.
