Hannah Anderson took to her Ask.fm account today this week and over the past couple of days she has done a lot of talking -- and a lot of bickering with girls in her peer group. She came unglued on her profile in a poor display of self defense against the very apparent bullying that she is experiencing. However, in the process of letting loose on her public social media page, she also revealed more details about what may have happened to her the day her mother and brother died. In particular, she made a sort of confession that serves as a new element in this entire story.

Below is a partial transcript of her Ask.fm profile where she admits to switching off her own cellphone on the day of her kidnapping:

Hannah, please help me out here. Police said you turned your pone off when you got picked up from cheer 3 August. Did your battery die or did you turn your phone off?

Hannah:I turned it off just on the way up there because he always got mad that I was constantly on my phone. So I didn't wanna be tempted to go on it.

Here's where my hinky meter is going off on Hannah's little confession:

Assuming she is telling the truth about why she shut the phone off, why would this matter if Jim was only taking her to the house in Boulevard where she'd (presumably) be reunited with her mother and brother. Keep in mind that at this time we are to believe that Hannah was not aware of any kidnapping plans or murders. It doesn't really make sense that she'd instinctively turn off her phone after exchanging over a dozen texts/phone calls with this man if she was just going to be with her mom and brother riding go-karts and having fun at "Uncle Jim's" house. In fact, her excuse for turning off her own phone seems an awful lot like a sort of re-imagining of the jealousy he supposedly expressed while they were on their trip along together in Hollywood. It seems that she was falling back on this as a presumably good reason to turn off her own cellphone, but they weren't going to be alone together -- unless, for some reason, she knew they were going to be alone together.

Regardless of the reason she has provided -- and it's a weak question -- the main fact of importance that has come out is that Hannah Anderson turned off her own cellphone after exchanging at least 13 texts and/or calls with the man accused of killing her mom and brother and kidnapping her. If that doesn't add even a minute amount of suspicion to this case, then I don't know what does!
