Family of dead abductor wants paternity tests

The family of kidnapping and murder suspect James DiMaggio wants paternity tests conducted to see if he is the father of the teenage girl he abducted and her slain 8-year-old brother, according to a San Diego TV station.

In an unexpected twist in the story, DiMaggio left a $112,000 life insurance policy in the care of Hannah's grandmother, Bernice Anderson.

Andrew Spanswick, a spokesman for DiMaggio family, told KGTV that he had expected the grandmother to take care of the two Anderson children with the money. He told the Associated Press on Monday that the beneficiary was changed in 2011 from DiMaggio's sister to Bernice Anderson.

"We are requesting DNA samples from Hannah and anything they can get from Ethan," he said. "There are rumors Jim was the children's real father. The parents didn't marry until 2002. We think it's strange he left them so much money with no explanation."
