The remains of Anderson's 44-year-old mother and brother were later found inside the burned home. Investigators said they couldn't determine how Ethan died due to extensive burns and tissue loss. They said gunshot wounds, asphyxiation or burns from the house fire were all possibilities. The mother is believed to have been bludgeoned to death. When Anderson thinks of her captor she feels "just mostly sick and angry" and said he got what he deserves. The teen's disappearance triggered a massive search spanning much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico. The Amber Alert helped her be found, she said, and has "helped me keep going through healing and stuff, knowing that people were looking for me and that they're on my side." Her father, Brett Anderson sat with his daughter during the interview.
