Haobsh’s web history probed Defendant’s browser usage cited during Han family murder trial By ANNELISE HANSHAW

Browser history extracted from Pierre Haobsh’s iPhone and laptop was used to gain insight into the defendant’s mindset on the days surrounding the Han family murders. The web history was discussed Monday during the murder trial in Santa Barbara County Superior Court. Prior to Dr. Han’s death, the user of Mr. Haobsh’s phone searched the web for various firearm-related information. A search inquired the amount of damage a .22-caliber pistol could cause to a skull. (Dr. Weidong “Henry” Han, his wife and daughter were killed by gunshot wounds to their heads.) One Google search asked: “What caliber used by James Bond.” Then the user searched “navy seal .22lr.” Webpages for a Ruger MKII and M77 were accessed, including a page dedicated to movies in which a Ruger MKII has appeared. On March 23, 2016, the day detectives believe the Han family was murdered, the user’s interest seems to shift from firearms to bank accounts. “How long does domestic transfer take to post,” the first Google search asked. Then the user visited a Wells Fargo page for a lost username or password — a web page Mr. Haobsh’s laptop accessed 18 minutes later. Two wire transfers were initiated from Dr. Han’s Chase Bank account to Mr. Haobsh’s that afternoon. Jeff Ellis, an investigator with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s office, testified that spyware allowed Mr. Haobsh to break into Dr. Han’s online bank account. Dr. Han’s computer contained a spyware program that stores screenshots of webpages and data of the user’s keyboard clicks. The program was installed March 21 and was hidden from the computer’s desktop. Detectives found the computer in the garage of the Han home, next to the family’s bodies. Mr. Haobsh’s laptop had the same program — installed an hour before Dr. Han’s computer. The screenshots and data collected by the program showed investigators a page-by-page breakdown of the actions of an individual possessing Mr. Haobsh’s laptop. On March 22, Mr. Haobsh allegedly texted Dr. Han that he would like to file “the company registration” online together. At around 1 p.m. that day, Dr. Han filled out a form for LLC incorporation on his computer. The form included spaces for his Social Security and credit card numbers. There is a photo on Mr. Haobsh’s phone, taken at 1:14 p.m. from the Han residence, of a computer screen with the spyware software open to the key log. The photo captured the information entered during the LLC filing. Screenshots captured by the spyware on Mr. Haobsh’s computer show the user attempting to log into Dr. Han’s Chase Bank account and using Dr. Han’s cell phone to obtain a recovery code. Once inside the account, the laptop’s user moved $70,000 in savings over to the checking account and initiated a $100,000 transfer from Dr. Han’s linked Wells Fargo account.

President Joe Biden signed a historic $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill into law on Monday. The legislation includes a broad range of $550 billion of investments over the next five years. These investments are distributed in various areas of America’s infrastructure such as energy systems, roads and broadband, all of which puts climate change mitigation to the forefront. This bill, which also tackles the nation’s aging bridges, is a direct descendent to President Biden’s American Jobs Plan, which proposed $2.25 trillion in investment. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, DSanta Barbara, attended the bill signing and voiced his support of the new law. “It was an honor to stand beside my colleagues and the president as he signed the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law,” said Rep. Carbaja in a news release. “This bill is a once-in-ageneration investment that will propel our economy forward and improve quality of life for every American.”

Marjie Kirn, the executive director of the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments, additionally voiced her support of the bill and Please see BILL on A4

A recipient was added under the name “Pierre” (no last name) with an address in Santa Monica. The user searched Santa Monica zip codes. Then the person opened a new window and logged into Mr. Haobsh’s bank account — which contained less than $500. The routing information was entered into the wire transfer information. The user attempted to transfer $72,000 from Dr. Han to Mr. Haobsh. The transaction was stopped by the bank. Mr. Haobsh’s phone was used to search the internet for the speed of wire transfers. The laptop was used to enroll in Chase QuickPay. The user initially attempted to use an email that begins with “pierreh” for QuickPay, but the email was in use by another user. The user created a Gmail account under Dr. Han’s name with a similar username to Dr. Han’s other emails to tie to the QuickPay enrollment. With QuickPay set up, the laptop’s user attempted to transfer $70,000, but with a QuickPay maximum of $5,000, ultimately sent $5,000 to Mr. Haobsh. Chase Fraud sent a text to Dr. Han to verify the transaction. Dr. Han’s SIM card was placed in Mr. Haobsh’s phone to send a confirmation text back to the bank, Mr. Ellis testified, using the phone’s cellular usage database and cell phone records. Prosecutors tie the defendant to these actions through video evidence of Mr. Haobsh

driving through a McDonald’s in Thousand Oaks at around 1 p.m. that day. A receipt from McDonald’s was also obtained from the defendant’s car. The spyware captured evidence that while the laptop was being used to transfer money at 12:30 p.m., the laptop was near a McDonald’s wifi hotspot. Mr. Ellis said the defendant’s phone was connected to a cell-phone tower near the McDonald’s in Thousand Oaks during this time. Prosecutors also have evidence of Mr. Haobsh at El Capitan State Beach on March 22 — when his phone was used at that location to search James Bond’s pistol of choice and watch a video of a suppressor. (Detectives believe a suppressor was used in the murder of Emily Han.) At 1:39 p.m. March 23, the laptop is used to access an online psychic network where someone who says their name is “Pierre” pays to talk with Count Marco. “Can you tell me about my destiny and the events to come?” asked the user. “Can you also look at my karma?” The user types “I have done bad things,” the spyware shows, but the user deletes the line and sends “I have made bad choices” instead. The person types “unforgivable” before deleting the word. “I learned so much,” The user said. “But it cost other people greatly.” He later asks, “Will I get caught for what I did?” Count Marco replies, “I have no idea what you did, Pierre.”

The evening of March 23, Mr. Haobsh sends to a business associate, “Am screwed. They just found everything.” (He told detectives in an interview someone found an invention of his in a storage unit but couldn’t give details about the storage unit’s location.) On March 24, his laptop and phone history began with the search “Santa Barbara news Henry.” The user visited a page titled “Santa Barbara News-Press obituaries.” Then the individual searched, “how good are finger print forensics” and “finger prints on plastic.” A Yahoo Answers page asking “Can the police scan your fingerprints off of a plastic bag?” was visited. The user gets specific: “fingerprints on painters plastic,” was typed into Google. The Han family was found wrapped in painter’s plastic sheeting. Then the user searches: “how long do finger prints take to process,” “how long does crime scene analysis take” and “is car searched entering tijuana.” Mr. Haobsh was arrested March 25, 2016, with a bag of supplies in his car. Mr. Ellis is the last witness the prosecution plans to call. Mr. Haobsh’s public defenders will cross examine Mr. Ellis when the trial resumes Thursday, and they will begin to call their witnesses. It is not yet determined if Mr. Haobsh will take the stand. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

No braking on gas prices California continues to break its records By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

California has never seen gasoline prices this high. American Automobile Association reported the second day of record-breaking prices Monday, with an average price of $4.682 a gallon for regular, unleaded gas. That was up six-tenths from Sunday’s average price, which broke the previous record of $4.671, set in October. Monday’s price far exceeded the national average of $3.415 a gallon. But typically, the Western states are all in the $3.628 to $4.682 range, according to AAA. Don’t bet on things getting

much cheaper in Nevada. The home to Las Vegas and Reno is seeing an average price of $3.974 a gallon. The average price in Washington state is $3.874. The average price in Oregon, where, by the way, gas station employees pump all the gas, is $3.782 a gallon. Gas generally averages between $3 and $3.50 a gallon in most of the country. The cheapest gas? That’s in Oklahoma, where it’s $2.998 a gallon. For more information, check out the pricing map at gasprices. aaa.com. email: dmason@newspress.com

Ecological groups, SoCal Edison settle lawsuit By FORREST MCFARLAND NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Local environmental groups announced Monday that they settled a lawsuit with Southern California Edison. Under the settlement, Edison agreed to clean up facilities that were identified as sources of toxic contaminants that pollute waterways. The company additionally agreed to provide $160,000 to a public-private partnership to mitigate alleged past damages to the environment. This partnership is working to develop water quality protections for “Areas of Special Biological Significance” throughout the state.

This settlement is the result of a lawsuit that was filed by the Ecological Rights Foundation and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper on June 8, 2020. The suit alleged that Edison lacked appropriate water quality protections for 27 facilities due to its use of the chemical pentachlorophenol on wooden utility poles. “Pentachlorophenol and its byproducts are highly toxic in aquatic environments such as the Goleta Slough,” said Benjamin Pitterle, the science and policy director for Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, in a news release. “These storage and processing facilities are hotspots for this form of pollution, and the agreement will help ensure that our waterways are better protected.”

As a result of this settlement agreement, more than 60 waterways will be provided with environmental protections including the Goleta Slough State Marine Conservation Area. The Goleta Slough serves as a wildlife habitat for rare and endangered species. The parties reached an agreement on Nov. 9 that commits Edison to the implementation of a comprehensive program to prevent contaminants from escaping its facilities. The program will take place over the next seven years, and Edison is now bound by the agreement to demonstrate the efficacy of the program through monitoring water quality.

Driver arrested after traffic fatality SANTA BARBARA — A driver was arrested and charged with felony vehicular manslaughter after a head-on collision Sunday evening. Around 8:20 p.m., the Santa Barbara Police Department Combined Communications Center received multiple reports of the collision on West Carrillo Street and Miramonte Drive. Officers, firefighters and paramedics responded to the calls and found two drivers, the only

two occupants, with extensive injuries. The Santa Barbara City Fire Department extricated both drivers, and both were transported by ambulance to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital emergency room. According to a news release from the Santa Barbara Police Department, a red Nissan sedan, driven by Jose Fermin Lopez Jr., a 24-year-old Santa Barbara resident, was traveling at a high rate of speed west on West Carrillo Street without the headlights on. The Police Department believes Mr. Lopez’s vehicle drifted into

the lane of oncoming traffic. Mr. Lopez’s vehicle and a Mercedes sedan, being driven east on West Carrillo Street, collided. The driver of the Mercedes succumbed to injuries sustained in the collision and was pronounced dead several hours after the accident. After officers believed Mr. Lopez was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, they completed a DUI investigation. Search and arrest warrants were later approved by a Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge, and Mr. Lopez was arrested, and is suspected of being at fault for the

collision, Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale, the police department’s public information officer, said in the news release. Mr. Lopez is being charged with felony DUI causing death and felony vehicular manslaughter, and he will be booked in Santa Barbara County Jail once released from the hospital, Sgt. Ragsdale said. The case is under investigation with the help of the Critical Accident Reconstruction Team. The name of the decedent is being withheld pending notification of the family. — Forrest McFarland

President Biden’s approval rating at lowest point since taking office By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORT

(The Center Square) — President Joe Biden’s approval rating has dropped to its lowest level since taking office. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found that Mr. Biden’s approval rating has plummeted in recent months amid steadily rising inflation, a difficult withdrawal from Afghanistan, and other economic issues. Mr. Biden’s overall approval numbers have dropped to 41%, with 53% disapproving. The poll found that 70% of Americans say the economy is in bad shape, with Mr. Biden’s approval rating on the economy down to 39%. Mr. Biden’s economic disapproval numbers are even higher than President Donald Trump, who saw major losses for his party in the midterm election of his presidency, raising

the alarm that Democrats could be in for a similar treatment from voters next November. If the election were held now, 51% of voters said they would support a congressional Republican, compared to 41% for a Democrat, the biggest lead in this poll since 1981. Republicans heralded this news, still touting their victories in Virginia’s recent election. “There is no good news for House Democrats and their historically thin majority. No wonder Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi appears to be planning her retirement,” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesman Mike Berg said. Tech and business mogul Elon Musk weighed in on Twitter, blasting progressives for inflation. “Inflation is the most regressive tax of all, yet is advocated by those who claim to be progressive,” he

GOLETA — Community West Bank contributed $100,000 to the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital Foundation Capital Campaign on Monday. The donation for the capital campaign will be used to relocate the Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital from Santa Barbara to the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital

campus. “Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital cares for patients with traumatic brain injuries, stroke complications, spinal cord injuries and a vast array of conditions requiring physical rehabilitation,” said Hospital Vice President Arie Dejong in a news release. “This gift will directly impact each patient’s journey.” Bank CEO Marty Plourd and Chairman Bill Peeples presented the check to Mr. Dejong. “Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital and Cottage Rehabilitation

Hospital are trusted and vital community resources, helping to restore the health of residents and their families throughout Santa Barbara County and beyond,” Mr. Plourd said in the news release. “Community West Bank is proud to contribute to the expansion of Cottage Health’s services.” Mr. Peeples and Mr. Plourd recognize their historical relationship with the hospital and look forward to its expansion, according to the press release. “Community West Bank was

Continued from Page A1 excitement for what is to come. “We are ready for transformative action on a federal level to address the persistent backlog of transportation infrastructure and public transit options for our communities,” said Mrs. Kirn in a news release. “We are encouraged and excited about the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and will work with Congressman Carbajal to take advantage of the opportunities the bill presents for strong federal support on high

priority projects in our region like the U.S. 101 Carpinteria-to-Santa Barbara project.” While senators claim the bill pays for itself, further analysis by the Congressional Budget Office shows the bill will add billions of dollars to the American deficit. However, lawmakers maintain the spending will not be reflected in taxes. The bill is hailed as a major feat of bipartisanship, according to the president and senators. In fact, 19 Senate Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, voted in support of the bill, and President Biden noted this, saying, “for the Republicans

who supported this bill, you showed a lot of courage.” Rep. Carbajal and many other Democratic representatives see this as a bill with potential to lead to much more. “Next, we will work to pass the Build Back Better Act, which will create new jobs in the clean energy economy and cut down on the costs of senior care, child care and health care,” Rep. Carbajal said in his statement. “I am thankful to have helped pass these investments, which will make us a better and stronger nation.” email: fmcfarland@newspress.com

July 10, 1929 — September 23, 2021

On September 23, 2021, Leland McCormack Crawford, Jr. passed peacefully at home in Montecito. Family and caregivers were by his side. Leland, the youngest of three children, was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on July 10, 1929.

Determined to ‘Survive’ Folk singer Peter Harper to sing from his latest album at SOhO

The songs on “Survive” were written before the pandemic, but have proved to be prophetic.

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Peter Harper wrote “Survive” before COVID-19 struck. Little did Mr. Harper realize the song, which is the title track of his album, and others on the album would prove to be prophetic. “There’s a lot on that album that when you fast forward a year after the album was completed, you’re landing on all these hot button points where lyrics fit so poignantly,” Mr. Harper told the News-Press. “When you write a truly great song, it fits into the existence of the world you live in,” the folk singer and guitarist said by phone from his Claremont home. “ ‘Survive’ works right now, and it’s the type of song that will always work. There’s always a fight for survival, a need for freedom, to never give up. “I think when you write a song that really fits into a human need, an across-the-board human need,” you’re writing outside of time,” he said. Mr. Harper and his band will perform songs from his album “Survive” at 7:30 p.m Wednesday during a family-friendly concert at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, 1221 State St., Santa Barbara. It’s a venue the former Santa Barbara resident knows well. “SOhO — I absolutely love that place,” he said. “I played it for the very first time when I was just starting out as a musician.” It was 2014, and Mr. Harper, a sculptor-turned-musician, was opening for Donovan Frankenreiter at SOhO. Mr. Harper’s brother, Joel, met Mr. Frankenreiter and gave Mr. Harper the musician’s phone number. “I called Donovan, and he said, ‘Send me the album,’” Mr. Harper said. After listening to Mr. Harper’s album, “Peter Harper,” Mr. Frankenreiter was impressed. “He called me and said, ‘This is really cool. I’m going to take you on the road with me,’” Mr. Harper said. Mr. Harper went to become a frequent headliner at SOhO, a venue that is popular with local and out-of-town bands. “Every single time I play there, no matter who the sound engineer is, I feel so comfortable,” Mr.

Harper said. “It’s an incredible venue with great owners who care about music and want to promote live music, which is a blessing of sorts. Then there’s Santa Barbara and the people who live there and appreciate live music. It’s not always that way in America.” Mr. Harper’s album “Survive” was released recently, and he said songs like its title track can make a difference during difficult times. “I could not have gotten through this pandemic without having that song ‘Survive’ in my head,” he said. “Knowing that you can give that to the world, knowing that you have no control over its success or failure, is in and by itself the award for the creation of a song.” When this writer listened to “Survive,” he heard a driving beat and a growing intensity. The lyrics match the music: “No matter what you try to say, “Nothin’ can take this away. “I know I am alive and I will survive. “I will survive.”

“ ‘Survive’ works right now, and it’s the type of song that will always work,” folk singer and songwriter Peter Harper said about the title track of his latest album. “There’s always a fight for survival, a need for freedom, to never give up.”

Mr. Harper said the song has a sense of urgency that fits the pandemic and that the music helps its listeners. “When you’re home and alone and been on the couch for a year because you’ve been quarantined and you’ve been going crazy, there’s this mantra that comes with a beat, with a built-in inspiration that got a lot of people through the pandemic,” he said. Mr. Harper, who grew up in Claremont, was born in a family known for its Claremont-based Folk Music Center. His brother Ben Harper is

a musician. His mother, Ellen Verdries, plays guitar. His grandfather Charles Chase was a craftsman known for his musical instruments, and his grandmother Dorothy Chase loved to play anything with strings. Mr. Harper earned his bachelor’s in political science at Pitzer College, part of the Claremont Colleges, and his master’s in fine arts in 1999 at New York University. Mr. Harper became a sculptor whose works are in the collections of celebrities such as Laura Dern, Meg Ryan, Henry Rollins, Woody Harrelson and Danny Devito.

But one day, he had the epiphany of another career. “I was in France at the Louvre,” he said. “ I was in line to see the Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world. There was an incredibly long line.” As Mr. Harper saw people take selfies with the Mona Lisa behind them, he realized he would never create anything more famous than the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece. He knew he would need to do something different to reach a broad audience. “I realized I’ve got to try another door to express all the things I’m

going to express to the world,” he Mr. Harper said. So Mr. Harper picked up his guitar and started writing and singing. “Music has this space. It doesn’t matter what your political beliefs are, music fills the need for everyone,” said Mr. Harper who’s married with two sons, 13 and 16, and a 5-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback called Banjo. “There’s a song that fits all the moods and moments. There’s always a song to help you through a problem.” email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI Peter Harper and his band will perform at 7:30 p.m Wednesday at SOhO Music Club & Restaurant, 1221 State St., Santa Barbara. Tickets cost $15 in advance and $18 at the door. To purchase, go to www.sohosb. com. All ages are welcome. Mr. Harper said he looks forward to playing Wednesday at SOhO Music Club & Restaurant, noting he appreciates the owners’ emphasis on live music.

‘Eternals’ continues to top box office

Annette Gordon-Reed, a Harvard professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, discussed her new bestseller, “On Juneteenth: ‘Freedom Day’ and Its Importance to American History,” with Jeffrey Stewart, Distinguished UCSB Professor and MacArthur Foundation chair, last week at UCSB Campbell Hall. The talk was presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures.

“Eternals” is still No. 1 at the box office. For the second weekend in a row, the new Marvel Studios movie about immortal beings protecting Earth had the highest box office gross of any film in North America. The $7.9 million gross was down from last weekend’s whopping $71 million number, but was enough to put “Eternals” far ahead of “Clifford the Big Red Dog.” Inspired by the PBS Kids series about a giant dog, the latter movie opened last weekend with a $4.8 million gross. “Dune,” the latest cinematic interpretation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel, placed third at $1.5 million. Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond, “No Time to Die,” got the fourth-place spot with $1.2 million.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

success in your profession. You’ve worked hard and learned things, and this hasn’t been lost on those above you in the hierarchy. You have earned new respect for yourself and your skills. You might want to put one of your gifts to work. This could be an artistic talent or the gift of healing. Make the most of it! Scorpio - Today should be very fortunate, particularly where love is concerned. Relations with your special someone could be closer than ever. You might even feel warm and loving toward everyone, even strangers. Your spiritual beliefs could have as much to do with this as anything else. You should feel especially intuitive. Optimism and enthusiasm rule, but don’t forget to be realistic! Sagittarius - You should feel especially romantic and sexy today. Tonight should be wonderful if you can spend it in the company of your significant other. Some vivid dreams could haunt your sleep tonight, almost to the point where you don’t want to wake up. Write them down and try to figure out what they mean later. Capricorn - Social events could take up a lot of your time tonight, and you may enjoy being in contact with friends you haven’t seen for a while. Conversations should be fascinating. You may even discover a new interest. An encounter with your partner could prove more passionate than usual. This should be a thoroughly enjoyable day as long as you conserve your energy. Aquarius - Work and career matters could finally bring you the success and good fortune you’ve been hoping for. This may be acknowledgement for effort and dedication as well as hard work. Expect a raise, and increased respect and status among friends and co-workers. Don’t celebrate so much that you suffer the effects of overindulging! Pisces - Love of someone from far away could be very much on your mind today, and perhaps love for the place where the person lives. You may be bored with your routine and anxious to embrace adventure. This is a good time to plan a vacation, particularly if accompanied by a partner or close friend. Your artistic instincts could also be inspired by geniuses from other cultures.

“Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.” — Robert H. Schuller

Aries - A number of interesting visitors could show up today. Perhaps you’re having a party or hosting an activity. These callers could include people in the sciences, or people who deal with money, such as bankers, investment counselors, or real estate brokers. Listen to what they have to say. You could learn something that boosts your financial standing. Taurus - Publications could bring some fascinating new knowledge your way. You’ll want to discuss it with friends. Conversations about any subject should be informative and beneficial since your mind is so perceptive and retentive. Affection for friends, relatives, and your special someone should fill your heart today. An intimate evening with your partner will be especially fulfilling. Gemini - Valuable tips to increase your income could come your way today, possibly from a close friend or colleague. You should feel well and look particularly attractive. Your approach to others may be more outgoing than usual. Pets could be a source of joy. Enjoy it while you can! In the evening, indulge your artistic streak. Cancer - Romance and art are the keys today. You could feel spiritually inspired by great music, paintings, poetry, or drama. You might want to share these feelings with a special someone. Children could also be a source of pleasure. Their innocence make you feel young again. In the evening, write your impressions of the day. Leo - Today you won’t be indifferent to anything. Good news could elevate you to near ecstasy. Bad news could send you to the depths of despair. Visitors provide a welcome distraction, while spiritual pursuits may be your favorite topic of conversation. This isn’t going to be a predictable day, but it will be wonderful. Virgo - A desire to learn through a group activity - a lecture or workshop, perhaps - might put you in the middle of a crowd. You’ll find it exhilarating. If you’re planning to attend such an event, don’t go alone. Your enjoyment will be heightened by the presence of a close friend or your partner. Libra - You’ve had recent
