Kidnap girl's horrific ordeal over

A 16-year-old US girl who was rescued during an FBI shootout with her captor in the Idaho wilderness is resting at home with family and friends to begin what her father says will be a slow recovery.

Hannah Anderson was reunited with her father, Brett Anderson at an Idaho hospital.

"She has been through a tremendous, horrific ordeal," said Mr Anderson, who declined to answer questions after reading a brief statement. He pleaded for privacy.

Christopher Saincome, Hannah's grandfather, said his son-in-law wanted to take Hannah with him to Tennessee, where he recently moved. Saincome urged him to have her stay in the San Diego area, where she grew up and has a large circle of friends.

"I think she needs to be here with friends," Saincome said. "I know she's taking it very tough. One of her best friends is with her, talking to her."

FBI teams shot dead James Lee DiMaggio, the 40-year-old who abducted Hannah and triggered a massive manhunt across several Western states. Authorities believe DiMaggio killed the girl's mother and brother at his home in California near the Mexican border before driving north with the girl.

A retired law enforcement officer had noticed DiMaggio and Hannah Anderson deep in a nature preserve during a horseback ride and later told police.

The San Diego County sheriff said DiMaggio fired at least one shot before authorities killed him.

Authorities have said DiMaggio had an "unusual infatuation'' with Hannah, although her father said he never saw any strange behavior.

Sheriff Bill Gore told KSWB-TV that Hannah didn't know her mother and brother had been killed until she was rescued.

The retired law enforcement officer, 71-year-old Mark John, said Sunday he had noticed that neither DiMaggio nor Anderson was wearing hiking boots or rain gear during their encounter in the wilderness last week. It even appeared that Anderson was wearing pajama bottoms.

Still, nothing about their behaviour raised suspicion that DiMaggio was wanted for murder and kidnapping.

On Thursday afternoon, when Mr John returned home and saw the girl's photographs on the news, he made the connection.

DiMaggio had been close to the family. Brett Anderson has described him as a best friend and said the children thought of him as an uncle.
