Please pray for the safe return of Hannah Anderson and the apprehension of suspect DiMaggio.

(San Diego)—Amber Alerts were activated on Wednesday, not just across TV, Radio and along highways in the western US, but also on cell phones, when James DiMaggio—suspected in the murder of Christina Anderson and possibly her son—allegedly took off with 16-year-old Hannah.

DiMaggio was not a stranger to the Andersons, but according to Brett, Christina's husband, he had become "part of our family."

Brett Anderson took to the airwaves on Wednesday, asking DiMaggio to let his daughter go free.

Christina Anderson was found dead in the home that had been burned down earlier this week, another badly burned body—possibly that of 8-year-old Ethan Anderson—was also found in the home. DNA testing is being done to determine whether or not it is Ethan.

Brett says he had no indication that anything like this would happen with DiMaggio, 40.

"You've taken everything," Brett pleaded on to DiMaggio via the media. "The damage is done. Just let my daughter go, let her go home safe, let her be with me and try to mend things from there."

According to the Amber Alert, DiMaggio is believed to be driving a blue, 4-door Nissan Versa with California license plate: 6WCU986.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Homicide Detail at 858-974-2321 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

The suspect may be heading toward either Canada or Mexico.
