She has now disabled her account, but earlier on Wednesday the posts were still visible. The Associated Press confirmed with people who know Hannah that she was the one writing the posts.

Police killed Hannah's kidnapper, 40-year-old Lee DiMaggio, in the Idaho wilderness where he was traveling with her. DiMaggio killed Hannah's mother and younger brother before taking her from San Diego to Idaho.

When asked if Hannah would rather have seen DiMaggio get life in prison, she responded: "he deserved what he got." She clarified that she did not go with DiMaggio willingly.

On ask.fm, Hannah provided some more insight into her ordeal:

DiMaggio apparently lured Hannah and her family to his home on false pretenses. Hannah wrote that DiMaggio tied her mother and brother up in his garage.

Hannah was reportedly spotted by hikers in the woods. She wrote that she didn't reach out to anyone for help because DiMaggio had a gun and said he would kill anyone who tried to help.
