News of Hannah’s possible involvement in the crime started to circulate after Hannah was photographed smiling during a memorial held for her mother and brother. Then there were the reports of an exchange of text messages with DiMaggio before her kidnapping and their previous trip to Hollywood. Hannah’s decision to answer questions in Ask.fm also triggered suspicions that she wasn’t a victim at all.
In a post-crime report released months after her rescue, investigors confirmed several facts: that neither Christina or Hannah shared an intimate relationship with DiMaggio, that there were no evidence supporting claims of anything unusual during the reported Hollywood trip, that evidence retrieved in the crime scene support Hannah’s story and that the crimes in Boulevard were planned ahead of time by DiMaggio alone.
