EAST COUNTY — The father of two missing siblings issued an emotional plea Tuesday night to the man suspected of kidnapping one or both of them and urged his daughter to “run” from her abductor if she could. A $1 million arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for James Lee DiMaggio, 40, of Boulevard, who is suspected of killing his longtime friend Christina “Tina” Anderson, 41, of Lakeside, and a child. Their bodies were found in the burned ruins of DiMaggio’s home Sunday night.

The child has not been identified, but sheriff’s homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said it could be the body of Ethan Anderson, 8. His sister, Hannah Anderson, 16, is missing. But Giannantonio reiterated that authorities are holding out hope that Ethan “is out there alive.” It will take two or three days for DNA testing to identify the charred body.

The children’s father, Brett Anderson, in a brief statement at sheriff’s headquarters Tuesday night, addressed Hannah and DiMaggio directly and spoke of the loss of his ex-wife.

“Jim ... let my daughter go,” he said. “You’ve taken everything else.”

He told his daughter, “Hannah, if you have a chance, you take it, you run.”

Giannantonio said the father had flown to San Diego on Tuesday from his home in Tennessee....Giannantonio said Tuesday night there have been no confirmed sightings of DiMaggio, or the vehicle he may be in, described as a blue, four-door Nissan Versa with California license plate 6WCU986. He could be anywhere in the U.S. or in another country, the lieutenant said.

“We are looking everywhere,” he said.

...He said DiMaggio is considered “extremely dangerous” and likely armed....

Firefighters found Anderson’s body after they doused a blaze that destroyed DiMaggio’s house and detached garage on Ross Avenue, south of Old Highway 80, about 8 p.m. Sunday. The child’s body and that of a dog were found later....

The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla said on Tuesday that DiMaggio works there in a technical support position. On his LinkedIn web page, DiMaggio describes his job at Scripps as a telecommunications technician, with skills in troubleshooting, problem-solving, and database administration.
