[Jeff Dunsavage]

 Even as an Amber Alert for a missing San Diego County teen widened into Oregon and Washington, authorities said they are also looking for James Lee DiMaggio, the suspect in what they believe is a slaying-and-kidnapping case, in Mexico.

The FBI has been working with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department's and Mexican authorities on the investigation since Monday, Sheriff's Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said. DiMaggio lived in Boulevard, just north of the Mexican border, and his burning home was discovered Sunday evening. Christine Anderson, 44, was found dead inside, along with the burned remains of a child's body.

Although an autopsy was conducted on the child, the body was badly burned and it has been difficult to obtain a DNA sample, Giannantonio said. It is believed to be Anderson's 8-year-old son, Ethan. His sister, 16-year-old Hannah Anderson, remains missing.
