Authorities are searching for a suspect in the deaths of a couple and their 5-year-old daughter in a Santa Barbara County home.
The bodies were found by detectives Thursday morning when they entered the home on Greenhill Way.
County sheriff's deputies sought a search warrant after they were asked to check on the family's welfare Wednesday evening and decided to open a suspicious death investigation.
The victims were 57-year-old Dr. Weidong "Henry" Han; his wife, 29-year-old Huijie "Jennie" Yu, and their daughter, Emily Han.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover says the three were slain by an unknown killer. She won't discuss how they were slain or a possible motive.
