In the weeks leading up to the murder of four members of Eric Hanson's family, prosecutors allege his conflict with them about money spiraled out of control. They said the Naperville man was banned from his sister's home and their mother complained of needing a loan to pay back his alleged $90,000 debt. Rapid changes in the physical security market this year have largely overshadowed one arena where change has slowed down in 2017 – mergers and acquisitions (M&A). In 2017, we wrote about M&A news involving companies such as HID Global, Eagle Eye Networks, ADT, and Honeywell. Although there were no “mega-mergers” as in years past (such as Axis-Canon and Johnson Controls-Tyco, M&A activity still made headlines last year on SourceSecurity.com. These solutions have been tried, tested and proven to help reduce search time from hours to minutes and even seconds. Automated lip reading software. To cover up the financial crimes, Hanson is accused of fatally beating his sister, Kate, and her husband, Jimmy Tsao, and shooting his parents, Terrance and Mary Hanson, with whom he lived. Hanson, 31, denies involvement in the quadruple homicide, which was discovered Sept. 29, 2005, in the Tsaos' home in Aurora's White Eagle neighborhood. After more than two years of pretrial court wrangling, a panel of about 100 potential jurors will convene this morning in DuPage County to fill out a questionnaire as lawyers begin the arduous process of jury selection. From the pool, lawyers begin Tuesday handpicking the 12-member panel and alternates in the death penalty case. Circuit Judge Robert Anderson ruled Hanson's other sister, Jennifer Williams, can testify that Kate complained Eric threatened to kill her if she told their dad about the forgeries and credit card fraud. Three weeks later, 31-year-old Kate and her husband, Jimmy Tsao, 34, were found beaten to death in their home. The bodies of her parents, Terrance, 57, and Mary Hanson, 55, also were discovered there. The parents were shot in the head and both had on their bedclothes. Police theorize their killer shot the elder couple in their bed on Rock Spring Court in Naperville and then took the bodies to their daughter's home. Investigators found blood on the Hansons' mattress and a bullet lodged in their headboard. The mattress had been flipped over and moved into a guest room. Someone tried to hide the damage to the headboard with wood putty. The vacuum contained wood chips. From the onset, Jennifer Williams identified her brother as a suspect. A state trooper stopped Eric Hanson's Chevrolet Trailblazer near Portage, Wis., about noon the next day, Sept. 30, 2005, after he returned from a 24-hour trip to visit a girlfriend in Los Angeles. Prosecutors argue they have the financial motive and key physical evidence implicating Hanson. They said police found a glove that had traces of the slain father's blood as well as Jimmy Tsao's Rolex and Kate's diamond ring in the SUV. But the prosecution will have to sell its theory to a jury without the murder weapons, eyewitnesses or a confession from Hanson.
