Teen, Abductor Stood Out in Idaho Wilderness

Sunday, 11 August 2013 05:14 PM EDT

The horseback riders who encountered a missing California teen and her abductor say the pair seemed out of place and ill-equipped for the Idaho back country.

At a news conference Sunday in Boise, the four riders - two men and two women - said they came across 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio on Wednesday morning.

Mark John said the two weren't friendly and that the girl was wearing pajamas or sweatpants. John said when he returned home he saw an Amber Alert that had been sent out for Anderson, and he contacted police.

DiMaggio was killed by authorities Saturday. He is suspected of killing Anderson's mother and brother. Anderson was not harmed.
