Hannah Anderson's grandparents confirmed to NBC News that the Ask.fm posts came from Hannah's account. There was no way to confirm that she herself was the writer of the posts.

A friend who has known her since elementary school also told NBC San Diego that she was convinced it was Hannah, and the mother of one of Hannah's closest friends confirmed to The Associated Press that the postings were from Hannah.

A San Diego sheriff's spokeswoman told the AP that authorities were aware of the online comments.

When questioners reportedly identified themselves as newspaper reporters, for example, and wanted to talk to her on the phone, she answered:

"No please leave me alone. All you guys don't know the story. And don't need too. You already got a lot of things mixed up. So please just leave me and my family alone so we can heal. Thank you."
