Cameras and Photographs (including digital memory cards, video tapes, film, exposed and unexposed, and slides of co-conspisstors ané assets) As described in this affidavit, computer hardware, software, and data are instrumentalities and evidence in the commission of this crime, Based on training and experience, affant knows thal, searching and seizing information from computers requires all electronic storage devices (slong, with related peripherals) to be searched later by a qualified computer forensic expert in 2 controlled environment, A search of computer records will need to be conducted off-site. An off- site search is necessary because computer storage devices (eg, hard disks, diskettes, tapes, laser disks) can store the equivalent of thousands of pages of| information. In regards to cellular deices; the executing law enforcement officer(s) iiare authorized to view photograph, record, copy forensic image and conduct forensic analysis of any and all data, programs and applications on the above described cellular device(s), as well as on any data storage devices and or mediums attached to those cellular communication deviee(s). Additionally, the executing law enforcement officer(s) may enlist the aid ofa law enforcement computer forensic laboratory in the searching, viewing, photographing, recording, copying, forensic imagining and analysis of any and all items described above. It should also be known that, depending on the amount of information stored within a seized ‘computer(s) or devices, such examinations typically require more than tea (10) days to complete. ‘Additionally, a suspect might try to conceal criminal evidence by storing it in random order with deceptive file names. That might require searching authorities to examine all the stored data to determine which particular files is evidence or instramentalities ofa crime, That sorting process ‘can take weeks or months, depending upon the volume of data stored, and it would be impractical to atteaapt that kind of data search on site. Further, searching computer systems for criminal evidence is a highly technical process requiring expert skill and a properly controlled environment, The vast array of computer hardware and software available requires even computer experts to specialize in some systems and applications, so it is difficult to know before a search ‘which expert is qualified to analyze the system and its data. Data search procedures are exacting scientific procedures designed to protect the integrity of the evidence and to recover even “hidden,” erased, compressed, password protected, or encrypted files. Since computer evidenceis extremely vulnerable to inadvertent or intentional modification or destruction (both from extersal sources or from destructive code imbedded in the system as a “booby trap”), a controlled environment is essential to its complete and accurate analysis. Based on her training, experience, and consultation with technical computer experts, affiant knows that searching computerized informantion for evidence, or instrumentalities of crime, commonly requires the seizure of all of a computer system's inpuvoutput peripheral devices (including related documeatation, passwords, and security devices) so that a qualified computer expert can accurately retrieve the system's data in a controlled environment. Peripheral devices which allow users to enter and retrieve data from storage devices vary widely in their compatibility with other hardware and software. Many system storage devices require particular inpuvoutput devices in order to read the data on the system. It is important that the analyst be able to properly retrieve the aforementioned evidence. In addition, the analyst needs the relevant system software (operating systems, interfaces, and hardware drivers) and any application software which might have been used to create the data (whether stored on hard drives or on extemal media), as well as all related instruction manuals or other documentation and dats security devices. Additionally, based on affant's training and experience, it mast be noted that the type cf evidence stored on computers and electronic media is extremely volatile and casily destroyed, in some cases ‘ith a single keystroke on the computer. Because of the ease with which this type of electronic ‘evidence can be destroyed, itis imperative that the warrant issued to search the location storing such evidence be given with a “ino knock” provision. By announcing their presence prior to the search, the law enforcement agents executing the search warrant will alert the suspect to their presence and give him an opportunity to destroy any electronic evidence residing on his computer equipment. Accordingly, your Affiaat requests that the Court issue said search warrant with a‘'no knock” provision allowing the officers executing said warrant to enter and secure the premises ‘without announcing their presence and intention prior to the execution of the warrant. For the same reasons, your Affiant requests that this search warrant issued be expressly authorized for ‘execution at any time of the day or NIGHT and also on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and on all legal Holidays.

They then recruit other Asian females to work for them. These Asian females must live with Tian, and are under bis control at all times. These women are not fiee to come and go. The females owe a “debt” to Tian that they are “working” to pay off; however, everything they do or don’t do adds to their debt, This leaves these ‘women forever indebted to Tian. Sgt. Nash said according to his recent investigation, Linan Tian, WenJuan Li and BingBing Li were in the Shreveport, Louisiana area, Sgt. Nash provided me, via ceanail,¢ comprehensive report on Linan Tian, WenJuan Li and BingBing Li. Additionally, Sgt. Nesb provided me with the below details of his case: STATEMENT FROM MISSOURI On September 17, 2014, the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) initiated an investigation regarding prostitution that was reportedly occurring at Palm Spa, located at 1722 South Glenstone 4GG, Springfield, Greene County, Missouri (hereinafter “Palm Spa"). During interviews with other local businesses next to the Palm Spa, officers discovered that only males visited the business, andthe ‘business only advertised on Backpege.com. The business had no presence on social media or a website. The advertiseraent on Backpage.com advertised their services from 1000 hours to 2200 hours with walk in patron’s welcome. They also advertised plenty of room for tuck parking, provided images of young attractive Asian females and provided a cost of $60.00 per hour for 2 sensual massage. A dentist office next door to Palm Spa advised they bad been documenting license plate information from the patrons, and provided this information o law enforcement as they believed that prostitution was taking place atthe location. These employees further stated that the workers at the location spoke no or very litle English and that many of the patrons would park their vehicles some distance away and walk through the parking lot, or around through the alley to get to Palm Spa, as it appeared they did not want to be seen frequenting the business. Officers then began conducting surveillance on the Palm Spa. During the surveillance operations, officers witnessed numerous males entering the business, but never witnessed any females frequenting the business. Officers elso witnessed many of these males park their vehicles some distance away, near other local businesses or at nearby apartment buildings and walk to the business. In October 2014, officers were able to identify the business owners and or operators of Pali Spa as Lioan Tian, Wenfuan Li and BingBing Li. WenJuan Li has convictions in 2008 from Nevada for Engaging in Prostitution, Obscene of opposite Sex Massage and in 2011 from Ikinois for Keeping a Place of Prostitution, ‘Tian appears to be married to BingBing Li and Wenjuan Li may be Tian's nother. Prior to relocating to Springfield, Missouri, Tian, BingBing and Wenjuan Li were involved in umerous Asian massage businesses in Nebraska and lowa. Once these businesses were established, Tian relocated to Springfield, Missouri where he began establishing massage businesses ia Southwest Missouri. The businesses In lowa and Nebraska are part of human trafficking and prostitution investigation by local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Several federal search warrants bave been executed on these businesses and this investigation is ongoing. Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Name: LT, BING BING - Offense#: REC'D 8/29/17 m > ° =f 2 ° oS b As MSHP officers continued the investigation, Tian, BingBing and Wenjuan Li were linked to several other Asian massage businesses in Southwest Missouri through surveillance, a vehicle tracking device, utility records and business records. These other Asian massage businesses included, but not limited to the following: Shui Massage, $20 West University, Springfield, Missouri Rainbow Spa, 2005 East Kearney, Springfield, Missouri Diamond Spa, 3029 East Sunshive, Springfield, Missouri Health Massage Therapy, 3131 South Wisconsin, Joplin, Missouri Phoenix Massage, 1261 East Republic Road, Springfield, Missouri MSHP investigators then checked for these businesses on Backpage.com, and discovered that they tlso advertised their services on this website and recognized that some of the imaages being utilized in the advertisements were the same. These businesses did not bave a website, or a social media presence. Investigators also began to realize that it was becoming very difficult to keep up with the ‘number and locations of these Asian massages businesses as they were springing up very quickly in Springfield, Joplin and Branson, Missouri. ‘When investigators checked om the license requirements of these businesses they discovered that most of these businesses had obtained a local business license, but many did not have a license to operate a ‘massage business by the State of Missouri. Furthermore, the State of Missouri requires an inspection of the business to obtain the said license and each massage provider working at the business must have an individual massage license. lavestigators found that most ofthese businesses did not have a State Massage License and that many of these employees did not have an individual massage license. MSHP investigators then began conducting surveillance on the various locations to stop patrons that were uiilizing the massage services to determine if illegal activity was taking place. During these vebicle stops, most of the suspects Would be deceptive about where they were coming ftom. After several minutes, most of the suspects admitted that they hed just received a massage from one of the various Asian massage businesses and that they discovered the business via Backpage.com. Some of the suspects advised that they traveled to the individual Asian massage business with intention of paying for a massage that included sexual gratification. A few of these individuals advised that they ‘were disappointed whea they did not receive sexual ‘gratification as part of the massage. Others admitted that they did receive sexual gratification in the form of a “Hend Job” during the massage. One of these individuals, who agreed to cooperate and provided e proffer interview, admitted that he had visited as many as 5-7 different Asian massage businesses in Springfield, Missouri for a total of 20-30 visits, This subject admitted that he had paid for a massage at the cost of $60.00 per hour at these businesses and that he had received sexual gratification during maay of these massages in the form of “Hand Job.” ‘Another suspect who was stopped as he was leaving Palm Spa advised that he had become familiar with the Asian massage businesses in Springfield, Missouri via a website known as Rubmeps.com. ‘Rubmaps is a website that reports ou massage businesses from around the United States and provides ‘adatabase where one can become a member and search and read reviews about massage businesses in your ares. The reviews outlinc the business location, how much the business will charge, what you ‘will be able to receive during the massage, provides a rating and codes for various services. For example, one review frou the Lotus Spa located at 220 West Sunshine, advised that during the ‘massage be was allowed to “play with her ass” during the massage and “masturbate” at the end ofthe massage while she continued the massage. The reviewer also advised that he tried to “Touch her kitty." but she would not allow thet. In another post on Rubmaps the client spoke about receiving a massage at Palm Spa where the masseuse, provided a sensual massage and then provided him oil for his hand so tbat he could ‘masturbate while she rubbed his “balls.” Rubmaps also provides letters for the various things that you can be expected to receive at the individual massage business. Some of these things include the following: DAP-digital anal probe (finger in anvs) DSL-Dick sucking lips FIV-Finger in vagina HE-Happy Endiog Kityy-Vagina Hardwood Floors-Clean shaven vagina Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Name: LI, BING BING - Offense#: REC'D 8/29/17 wee rPGOOOOOONVISZTATAZ i GSNNT OS PIV-Penis in vagina MP-Massage Parlor Raincoat-Condom Self Service-You masturbate ATM-Ass to Mouth ‘Mamasan-Female manages of massage parlor Investigators also discovered from interviews with patrons and reviews that many of the Asian massage locations will not allow any sex acts during the first and perbaps the second visit to the business. This isa strategy to avoid law enforcement officers who are undercover and ellows the business an opportunity to avoid being arrested. Investigators then began doing surveillance on the residence of Tian, BingBing and WenJuan During these surveillance operations, officess witnessed BingBing and WenJuan Li transporting Asian “I females ftom their residence to Asian massage businesses. On one of these occasioss, uniformed “a ‘Troopers stopped BingBing who was transporting Asian females to one ofthe businesses. During the o stop, the Trooper advised that there were two other Asian females in the vehicle with BingBing and these Asian females were not United States citizens and they could not speak English. During the stop BingBing advised the Trooper they were traveling to Wal-Mart to get some service done on their vehicle. BingBing further advised that the other Asian ferales were visiting from California. The other Asian females did not have any photo identification on their person. At the end of the vehicle slop, the surveillance team followed BingBing to an Asian massage business where she dropped off the other Asian females who entered the business and tumed on the “OPEN” sign, €reooaooeNY ‘WenJuan Li was also stopped by a uniformed Trooper for a traffic violation after leaving her residence with two Asian females, During this vebicle stop Li advised that they were going to Wal- Mart and that the other Asian females were here on vacation. Li advised the Trooper that she and the other females did not work. The other Asian females spoke very Kittle English and had no photo ‘identification on their person. As the vehicle stop was concluded, the surveillance team did not follow Li’s vehicle to Wal-Mart, but rather to an Asian massage business where they entered the business and turned on the “OPEN” sign. During surveillance being conducted on WenJuan Li, officers witnessed Li travel to Sam's Club in Springfield, Missouri and purchase large amounts of bottled water and paper towels. The surveillance team then witnessed Li drive to numerous Asian massage businesses in Springfield, Missouri and deliver paper towels and bottled water. As the investigation continued, officers discovered that while BingBing and Wenuan Li continued managing the numerous businesses in Springfield and Joplin, Missouri, Tian would leave for days end sometimes weeks ata time to establish and open more businesses in other States. Mostreceatly, Tian has established and opened several Asian massage businesses in Louisiana. ‘The investigation discovered that Fuying Li, who worked with Tian and BingBing at Health Massage ‘Therapy, 3131 South Wisconsin, Joplin, Missouri and at Palm Massage, 1722 Sout Glenstone, Springfield, Missouri, purchased a 2010 Infiniti from Metro Motors in Springfield, Missouri. During the transaction, Fuying Li put $9,800.00 cash down on the vehicle and told the salesman that she ‘would finance the remaining amount. The salesman advised that he remembered the transaction as being “Sketchy” since it was clear that Li wanted to stay under providing $10,000.00 cash since this would iavolve required paperwork to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

It discusses a rotational staff which is quite relevant to buman trafficking. Then it mentions start to finish and smiling, Another advertisement says, “Three young girls give youall good massage.” This advertisement was from Des Moines, IA., “New girl from Vegas [||| || wm * Young Girls*Lotus Asian Massage.” I then noticed new advertisement dated July 11, 2017 and July 12, 2017 for Huntoville, AL.

All of the advertisements, dated back to 2014 were created by a user using the email address tonytony1983@hotmail.com. On July 13, 2017, I contacted Sgt. Nash and updated him on our case, I also informed him of the information I received from Backpage. I asked Sgt. Nash if Linan Tian had ever been known to use the name “Tony.” Lwas attempting to put an association between the email used for the Backpage posts, “Tonytony1983” and Tian. Iwas aware that Tiao’s date of birth was 1983, but wasn'taware of alias used, ‘On July 13,2017 at approximately 2037 hours, while agents were conducting surveillance of 1950E. ‘70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA, they observed the Asian male and one (1) Asian female leave that location in the Jeep Compass.

They followed the Jeep Compass to 2103 Old Mindea Rd, Suite B, Bossier City, LA. As the Jeep Compass arrived, surveillance units observed the Asian male driving. An older Asian female exited the 2103 Old Minden Rd. Suite B, Bossier City, LA location. She took one (1) trash Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Name: LI, BING BING - Offensef: REC'D 8/29/17 bbag to the dumpster and then walked over to the Jeep Compass. The Asian male took the trash bag from the Asian female and placed itin the hatch of the Jeep Compass and left. Surveillance units then followed the Jeep Compass to 1105 Island Park Blvd, Bldg. 11, Shreveport, LA. Surveillance units stayed for a period of time in the event the garbage bags were going to be discarded in the apartment ‘complex’s dumpster, According to Sgt. Nash, during their investigation they learned that the items/rash from their businesses that they felt would incriminate them they would take home and throw away. Surveillance units never observed the bags being discarded. (On July 14,2017, LSP Agents began surveillance atthe residence of 1105 Istand Park Blvd, Bldg. 11, Shreveport, LA. At 0931 hours, two (2) Asian females exited Ultris Island Park Apartment Building, #11, Shreveport, LA. The walked to the bottom ofthe steps and waited. Shortly afterwards, an older Asian female walked down the steps, walked passed them and began walking towards the white Toyota SUV. ‘The Asian male then walked down.

Suite B, Bossier City, LA and the Jeep Compass traveled to 1950 E. 70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA. ‘On July 14, 2017, Sgt. Nash called to inform me that he was able to find reports where associates, referred to Linan Tian as “Tony.” Additionally, the IRS agent that is working with Sgt. Nash was able to confirm with him that the email address “Tonytony1983,” was used to open the JP Morgan bank accounts in Shreveport. ‘On July 14, 2017, I contacted the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy. I compared the list ofnames ‘we had compiled from ou investigation to the states list of board certified massage therapists. Only one name was amaich and that was for BingBing Li, BingBing Li is Linan Tian’s suspected wife and business partner, Itis believed sheis currently in Huntsville, Alabama setting up the newest massage parlor. In summery, the Missouri State Highway Patrol contacted the Louisiana State Police and requested assistance after their suspects in their Human Trafficking/Money Laundering investigation were believed to be in Louisiana. Affiant and other Detectives with Louisiana State Police were able to confirm the suspects; Linan Tian acd Wenjuan Li were in Louisiana. WenJuan Li bas prior ‘convictions in 2008 from Nevada for Engaging ia Prostitution, Obscene of opposite Sex Massage and in 2011 from Mlinois for Keeping a Place of Prostitution. Affiant has located two (2) massage parlors in Louisiana run by Tian; one located at 1950 B. 70th St. Suite A, Shreveport, LA- Pala Asian Massage and one located at 2103 Old Minden Rd. Suite B, Bossier City, LA-The Spa. Additionally, Detectives located a residence at 1105 Island Park Blvd.Ap!1 110, Shreveport, LA, Detectives then began conducting surveillance on the two massage parlors. During the surveillance operations, Detectives witnessed numerous males entering the two businesses, staying for time periods of 30 ‘minutes to two hours. During the times when it was busy it was easy to determine the males were there by appointment time, As one car would leave another would arrive. Sometimes the males ‘would pass one another When entering and exiting. During the entire operation, surveillance units did ‘ot see any females frequenting 2103 Old Minden Ra. Suite B, Bossier City, LA and oaly saw two (2) at 1950 B. 70th St, Suite A, Shreveport, LA; however Detectives believed they were just visiting, In two prior situations investigated by Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Asian fenaale employees were being forced to stay with their employer and not allowed to come and go as they pleased. During our investigatioa, it was obvious that Linan Tian and the older Asian female believed to be Wenjuan Li were in charge. The two (2) Asian females never left the apartment building or massage parlors ‘without Tian or Li. They appeared to wait for instructions, They never drove or just stepped outside during their 12 hour shift to get some air. Only Tian and Li camo outside and/or left. The businesses. are posting on Backpage, which has been confirmed to solicit for prostitution. The businesses are posting oulside “business hours,” such as at 0436 hours, Additionally, after checking with the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy the only person from our investigation who bas been confirmed to havea massage licenses is BingBing Li. Sheis currently suspected to be in Huntsville, AL setting. up their newest location at 7901 Memorial Parkway SW #H Huntsville, AL.

A search of computer records will need to be conducted off-site. An off-site search is necessary because computer storage devices (Gg, hard disks, diskettes, tapes, laser disks) can store the equivalent of thousands of pages of information.

Additionally, the executing law enforcement officer(s) may enlist the aid of a law enforcement computer forensic laboratory in the searching, viewing, photographing, recording, copying, forensic imagining and analysis of any and all items described above. It should also be known that, depending on the amount of information stored within a seized computer(s) or devices, such examinations typically require more thaa ten (10) days to complete. Additionally, « suspect might try to conceal criminal evidence by storing it in random order with deceptive file names. That might require searching authorities to examine all the stored data to determine which particulas files is evidence or instrumentalities ofa crime. That sorting process can take weeks or months, depending upon the volume of data stored, and it would be impractical to attempt that kind of data search on site. Further, searching computer systems for criminel evidence is ahighly techaical process requiring expert skill and a properly conolled environment. Tbe vast ary of computer hardware and software available requires even computer experts to specialize in some systems and applications, so itis difficult to know before a search which expert is qualified to analyze the system and its data. Data search procedures are exacting scicaific procedures designed to protect the integrity of the evidence and to recover even “hidden,” erased, compressed, password protected, or encrypted files. Since computer evidence is extremely vulnerable to inadvertent or intentional modification or destruction (both from extemal sources or from destructive code imbedded in the system as e “booby trap"), a controlled environment is essential to its complete and accurate analysis. i b 2 z th a REC'D 8/29/17 az7eT6O SSOOGGOOONVIS/T ‘Based on her training, experience, and consultation with technical computer experts, affiant mows that searching computerized information for evidence, or instrumentalities of crime, commonly requires the seizure ofall ofa computer system's inpuvoutput peripheral devices (including related documentation, passwords, and security devices) so that a qualified computer expert can accurately retvieve the system's data ina controlled environment. Peripheral devices which allow users to enter and retrieve data from storage devices vary widely in their compatibility with other hardware and software. Many system storage devices require particular input/output devices in order to reed the ata on the system. It is important that the analyst be able o properly retrieve the aforementioned evidence. in addition, the analyst needs the relevant system software (operating systems, interfaces, and hardware drivers) and any application software which might have been used to create the data (whether stored on hard drives or on external media), as well a all related instruction manuals or other documentation and data security devices. Additionally, based on affiant’s training and experience, it must be noted that the type of evidence stored on computers and electronic media is extremely volatile and easily destroyed, in some cases with a single keystroke on the computer. Because of the ease with which this type of electronic evidence can be destroyed, it is imperative that the warrant issued to search the location storing such evidence be given with a “no knock” provision. By announcing their presence prior to the search, the law enforcement agents executing the search warrant will alert the suspect to their presence and give him an opportunity to destroy any electronic evidence residing on his computer equipment. ‘Accordingly, your Affiant requests that the Court issue said search warrant with a “no knock” provision allowing the officers executing said warrant to enter and secure the premises without ancouncing their presence and intention prior tothe execution of the warrant, For the same reasons, ‘your Affiant requests that this search warrant issued be expressly authorized for execution at any time of the day or NIGHT and also on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and on all legal Holidays, Sétatazea wo gseooeona A fBiant desires to search the requested location along with any and all persons located at the business atthe time of the execution of the warrant.

Investigators also began to realize that it was becoming very difficult to Keep up with the ‘number and locations of these Asian massages businesses as they were springing up very quickly in Springfield, Joplin and Branson, Missouri ‘When investigators checked on the license requirements of these businesses they discovered that most of these businesses had obtained 2 local business license, but many did not bave a license to operate a massage business by the State of Missouri. Furthermore, the State of Missouri requires an inspection of the business to obtain the seid license and each massage provider working at the business must have an individual message license.

BingBing Lis Linan Tian's suspected wife and business partner. Itis believed she is currently in Huntsville, Alabama setting up the newest massage parlor. In summary, the Missouri State Highway Patol contacted the Louisiana State Police and requested assistance afer their suspects in theic Human Trafficking/Money Laundering investigation were believed to be in Louisiana. Affiant and other Detectives with Louisiana State Police were able to confirm the suspects; Linan Tian and Wenjuan Li were in Louisiana. WenJuan Li bas prior convictions in 2008 from Nevada for Engaging in Prostitution, Obscene of opposite, Sex Massage and in 2011 from Diinois for Keeping a Place of Prostitution.

Suite B, Bossier City, LA- The Spa Additionally, Detectives located a residence at 1105 Island Park Blvd.Apt1110, Shreveport, LA. Detectives then began conducting surveillance on the two massage parlors, During the surveillance operations, Detectives witnessed numerous males entering the two businesses, staying for time periods of 30 minutes to two hours. During the times when it was busy it was easy to determine the ‘males were there by appointment time. As one car would leave another would arrive. Sometimes the males would pass one another when entering and exiting, During the entire operation, surveillance uaits did aot see any fernales frequenting 2103 Old Minden Rd. Suite B, Bossier City, LA and only saw two (2) at 1950 E, 70th St. Suite A, Shreveport, LA; however Detectives believed they were just visiting. In two prior situations investigated by Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Asian female employees were being forced to stay with their employer and not allowed to come and g0 28 they pleased, During our investigation, it was obvious that Linan Tian and the older Asian female believed to be Wenjuan Li were in charge. The two (2) Asian females never left the apartment building or massage parlors without Tian ot Li, They appeared to wait for instructions. They never drove or just stepped outside during their 12 hour shift to get some air. Only Tien and Li came outside and/or left. The businesses are posting on Backpage, which bas been confirmed to solicit for prostitution. The businesses are posting outside “business hours,” such as at 0436 hours.

Based on training and experience, affiant knows that searching and seizing information from computers requires all electronic storage devices (along with related peripherals) to be searched later by a qualified computer foreasic expert in a controlled enviconment, A search of computer records will need to be conducted off-site. An off-site search is necessary because computer storage devices (eg., hard disks, diskettes, tapes, laser disks) can store the equivalent of thousands of pages of ‘information.

That might require searching authorities to examine all the stored data to determine which particular files is evidence or instrumentalities ofa crime. That sorting process can take weeks or months, depending upoo the volume of data stored, and it would be impractical to attempt that kind of data search on site. Further, searching computer systenas for criminal evidence is a highly technical process requiring expert skill and a properly controlled environment, The vast. asray of computer hardware and software available requires even computer experts to specialize in some systems and applications, so it is difficult to know before a search which expert is qualified to analyze the system and its data. Data search procedures are exacting scientific procedures designed to protect the integrity of the evidence and to recover even “hidden,” erased, compressed, password protected, or encrypted files, Since computer evidence is extremely vulnerable to inadvertent or intentional modification or destruction (both from extemal sources or from destructive code imbedded in the system as a “booby trap”), a controlled environment is essential to its complete and accurate analysis. TLOONACOONVIS ‘Based on her training, experience, and consultation with technical computer experts, affiant knows that searching computerized information for evidence, or instrumeatalities of orime, commonly requires the seizure of all of a computer system's inpuvioutput peripheral devices (including related documentation, passwords, and security devices) so that a qualified computer expert can accurately retrieve the system's data in a controlled environment. Peripheral devices which allow users fo enter and retrieve data from storage devices vary widely in their compatibility with other hardware and software. Many system storage devices require particular inpuoutput devices in order to read the ‘data on the system. It is important that the analyst be able to properly retrieve the aforementioned ‘evidence. In addition, the analyst needs the relevant system software (operating systems, interfaces, and hardware drivers) and any application software which might have been used to create the data (whether stored on hard drives or on external roedia), as well as all related instruction manuals or other documentation and data security devices. Additionally, based on affiant’s training and experience, it must be noted that the type of evidence stored on computers and electronic media is extremely volatile and easily destroyed, in some cases with a single keystroke oa the computer. Because of the ease with which this type of electronic evidence can be destroyed, its imperative that the warrant issued to search the location storing such evidence be given with a “no knock” provision. By announcing their presence prior to the search, ‘the law enforcement agents executing the search warrant will alert the suspect to their presence and give bim an opportunity to destroy any electronic evidence residing on his computer equipment. Accordingly, your Affiant requests that the Court issue said search warrant with a “no knock” provision allowing the officers executing said warrant to enter and secure the premises without ‘announcing their presence and intention prior to the execution of the warrant. For the same reasons, your Affiant requests that this search warrant issued be expressly authorized for execution at any time of the day or NIGHT and also on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and on all legel Holidays. ‘Affiant desires to search the requested location along with any and all persons located at the business at the time of the execution of the warrant, Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Name: LI, BING BING - Offenset: REC'D 8/29/17 “Which seid property constinutes evidence of the commission ofa crime or offense against the Laws of the State of Lovisiana set forth in the Louisiana Revised Statutes, and as {am satisfied from the affidavil(s) property is being concealed on the premises ebove described and that the aforesaid ‘grounds for the issuance of this search warrant exists. ‘The reasons and facts for the request of this search warrant are: COMPLAINT On July 7, 2017, 1, M/T Heather Owens, a Detective with Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit was contacted by Sgt. Daniel Nash, a Detective with Missouri State Highway Patrol, in elation to. criminal investigation they were working, Sgt. Nash advised me thet he bed been conducting a Jong term investigation on a three (3) individuals: Linan Tian, WenJuan Li and BingBing Li. Sgt ‘Nash advised thet Linan Tinan travels to different areas setting up Asian Massage parlors. Tian then brings down WenJuan Li, who is believed to be his mother, along with BingBing Li, who is suspected to be Tian’s wife. These wornen assist in geting the businesses operational. They thea recruit other Asian females to work for them. These Asian females must live with Tian, and are under his control at all times. These women are not free to come and go. The females owe a “debt” to Tian that they are “working” to pay off; however, everything they do or don’t do adds to their debi. This leaves these women forever indebted to Tian. Sgt. Nash said according to his recent investigation, Linan Tien, WenJuan Li aod BingBing Li were in the Shreveport, Louisiana area Sgt. Nash provided me, via email, a comprehensive report on Linan Tian, WenJuan Li and BiogBing Li, Additionally, Sgt. Nash provided me with the below details of his case: STATEMENT FROM MISSOURI On September 17, 2014, the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) initiated an investigation regarding prostitution that was reportedly occurring at Palm Spa, located at 1722 South Glenstone 4GG, Springfield, Greene County, Missouri (bereinafter “Palm Spa”), During interviews with other local businesses next to the Palm Spa, officers discovered that only males visited the business, and the business only advertised on Backpage.com. The business had no preseace on social media or a website, The advertisement on Backpage.com advertised their services from 1000 hours to 2200 hours with walk in patron’s welcome. They also advertised plenty of room for truck parking, provided images of young attractive Asian females and provided a cost of $60.00 per hour for a sensual massage. A dentist office next door to Palm Spa advised they had been documenting license plate information from the patrons, and provided this information to law enforcement es they believed that prostitution was taking place at the location. These employees further stated that the workers at the location spoke no or very little English and that many of the patrons would park their vebicles some distance away and walk through the parking lot, or aroucid through the alley to get to Palma Spa, as it appeared they did not want to be seen frequenting the business. Officers then began conducting surveillance on the Palm Spa. During the surveillance operations, officers witnessed numerous males entering the business, bul never witnessed any females frequenting the business. Officers also witnessed many of these males park their vehicles some distance away, near other local businesses or at nearby apartment buildings ané walk to the business. In October 2014, officers were able to identify the business owners and or operators of Palm Spa as Linan Tian, WeoJuen Li and BingBing Li. WenJuan Li bas convictions in 2008 from Nevada for Engeging in Prostitution, Obscene of opposite Sex Massage and in 201 1 from Dlindis for Keeping a Place of Prostitution. Tian appears to be married to BingBing Li and Wenjuan Li may be Tian's mother, Prior to relocating to Springfield, Missouri, Tian, BingBing and Weajuan Li were involved in numerous Asian massage businesses in Nebraska and lowa, Once these businesses were established, Tian relocated to Springfield, Missouri where he began establishing massage businesses in Southwest Missouri. The businesses In Iowe and Nebraska are part of human trafficking and prostitution investigation by local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Several federal search warrants have been executed on these businesses und this investigation is ongoing. As MSHP officers continued the investigetion, Tian, BingBing and Wenjuan Li were linked to several other Asian massage businesses in Southwest Missouri through surveillance, a vehicle tracking device, utility records and business records. These other Asian massage businesses included, but not limited to the following: Supplemental Reports - Case: 17004356 - Name: LI, BING BING - Offense#: REC'D 8/29/17 ‘Shui Massage, 520 West University, Springfield, Missouri Rainbow Spa, 2005 East Keamey, Springfield, Missouri Diamond Spa, 3029 East Sunshine, Springfield, Missouri Health Massage Therapy, 3131 South Wisconsin, Joplin, Missouri Phoenix Massage, 1261 East Republic Road, Springfield, Missouri “MSHP investigators then checked for these businesses on Backpage.com, and discovered that they also advertised their services on this website and recognized that some of the images being utilized in the advertisements were the samme. These businesses did not bave a website, of a social media presence. Investigators also began o realize that it was becoming very difficult to keep up with the ‘mumber and locations of these Asian massages businesses as they were springing up very quickly in Springfield, Joplin and Branson, Missouri. ‘When investigators checked on the license requirements of tliese businesses they discovered that ‘most of these businesses had obtained a local business license, but many did not have a licease to operate a massage business by the State of Missouri. Furthermore, the State of Missouri requires an inspection of the business to obtain the seid license and each massage provider working at the business must have an individual massage license, Lavestigators found that most of these businesses did nothave a State Massage License and that many of these employees did not have an individual massage licease. MSHP investigators then began conducting surveillance on the various locations to stop patrons that ‘were utilizing the massage services to determine if illegal activity was teking place. During these vehicle stops, most of the suspects would be deceptive about where they were coming from. After several minutes, most of the suspects admilted that they bed just received a massage from oe ofthe various Asian massage businesses and that they discovered the business via Backpage.com. Someof the suspects advised that they traveled to the individual Asian massage business with inteation of paying for a massage that included sexual gratification. A few of these individuals advised that they ‘were disappointed when they did not receive sexual gratification as part of the massage. Others ‘admitted that they did receive sexual gratification in the form of a “Hand Job” during the massage. ‘One of these individuals, who agreed to cooperate and provided a proffer interview, admitted that he had visited as many as 5-7 differcat Asian massage businesses in Springfield, Missouri for a total of 20-30 visits, This subject admitted thet he had paid for a massage at the cost of $60.00 per hour at these businesses and that he had received sexual gratification during many of these massages in the form of @ “Hand Job.” ‘Another suspect who wes stopped as he was leaving Palm Spa advised thet he had become familiar with the Asian massage businesses in Springfield, Missouri via a website known as Rubmaps.com. Rubmaps is a website that reports on massage businesses from around the United States and provides adatabase where one can become a member and search and read reviews about massage businesses ‘in your area. The reviews outline the business location, how much the business will charge, what you will be able o receive during the massage, provides arating and codes for various services. For example, one review from the Lotus Spa located at 220 West Sunshine, advised that during the massage he was allowed to “play with her ass” during the massage and “masturbate” at the end of the massage while sbe continued the massage. The reviewer also advised that he tried to “Touch her kitty.” but she would not allow that. In another post on Rubmaps the client spoke about receiving a massuge at Palm Spa where the masseuse, provided a sensual massage and then provided him oil for his hand so that he eould masturbate while she rubbed his “balls.” Rubmaps also provides letters for the various things that you can be expected to receive atthe individual massage business. Some of these things include the following: DAP-digital anal probe (finger in anus) DSL-Dick sucking lips FIV-Finger in vagina HE-Happy Ending Kitty-Vagina Hardwood Floors-Clean shaven vagina PIV-Penis in vagina ‘MP-Massage Parlor Raincoat-Condom Self Service-You masturbate ATM-Ass to Mouth we o fs z ta a Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Name: LI, BING BING - Offense#: REC'D 8/29/17 be rZO00000GNYISLTOTO Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Name: LI, BING BING - Offense# Mamasan-Female manager of massage parlor Investigators also discovered from interviews with patrons and reviews that many of the Asian massage locations will not allow any sex acts during the frst and perhaps the second visit to the business. This is a strategy to avoid law enforcement officers who are undercover and allows the business an opportunity to avoid being arrested. Investigators then began doing surveillance on the residence of Tian, BingBing and WeaJuaa Li. During these surveillance operations, officers witnessed BingBing and WenJuan Li transporting Asian females from their residence to Asian massage businesses. On ove of these occasions, uniformed Troopers stopped BingBing who was transporting Asian females to one of the businesses, During the stop, the Trooper advised that there were two other Asian females in the vehicle BingBing and these Asian females were no1 United States citizens and they could not speak English. During the stop BingBing advised the Trooper they were traveling to Wal-Mart to get some service done on their vehicle. BingBiing further advised that the other Asian females were visiting from Califomia. The other Asian females did not have any photo idenlification on their person, At tbe end of the vehicle stop, the surveillance team followed BingBing to an Asian massage business ‘where she dropped off the other Asian females who entered the business and tumed on the “OPEN” sign. Wentuan Li was also stopped by a uniformed Trooper for a traffic violation after leaving her residence with two Asian females. During this vehicle stop Li advised that they were going to Wal- Mart and that the other Asian females were here on vacation, Li advised the Trooper that she and the other females did not work. The other Asian females spoke very little English and bad n0 photo ‘identification on their person. As the vehicle stop was concluded, the surveillance team did not follow Li’s vehicle to Wal-Mart, but rather to an Asian massage business where bey entered the business and turned on the “OPEN” sign. ‘During surveillance being conducted on WenJuan Li, officers witnessed Li travel to Sam's Club in Springfield, Missouri and purchase large amounts of botiled water and paper towels. The surveillance team then witnessed Li drive fo numerous Asian massage businesses in Springfield, Missouri and deliver paper towels and botded water. As the investigation continued, officers discovered that while BingBing and WenJuan Li continued managing the numerous businesses in Springfield and Joplin, Missouri, Tian would leave for days and sometimes weeks at a time to establish and open more businesses in other States. Mostrecently, ‘Tian has establisued and opened several Asian massage businesses in Louisiana. ‘The investigation discovered that Fuying Li, who worked with Tian arid BingBing at Health Massage ‘Therapy, 3131 South Wisconsin, Joplin, Missouri and at Palm Massage, 1722 South Glenstone, ‘Springfield, Missouri, purchased a 2010 Infiniti from Metro Motors in Springfield, Missouri. During, tbe transaction, Fuying Li put $9,800.00 cash down on the vehicle and told the salesman that she would finance the remaining amovat, The salesman advised that he remembered the transaction as being “Sketchy” since it was clear that Li wanted to stay under providing $10,000.00 cash since this ‘would involve required paperwork to be filed with the Intemal Revenue Service. The salesman also stated thet LI had no credit history, address history, or associated bank account, but did list her employment as Palm Massage. Li is now running the Chi Asian Massage business in Springficld, Missouri. (On March 25, 2017, {conducted an interview with an Asian female who had left Relax Massage, 2022 South Stewart, Springfield, Missouri and went to another local business and asked for help. During the interview, the victim advised that she traveled to Springfield, Missouri as she was promised a job working as a masseuse at Relax massage.

At 0934 hours, one (1) Asian male and two (2) Asian females exited Ultris e Island Park Apartment Building #11, Apartment 1110, Shreveport, LA and entered the black Jeep w Compass bearing MO/LP# PM8H2J. LSP Agents followed the vehicles. The black Jeep Compass 2 then began traveling south on Clyde Fant. After committing a traffic violation, the Jeep Compass N was stopped by a marked State Police Unit. The Asian male driver was identified as Linan Tian. @ The Asian female passengers were identified as: Aibua Tang, DOB: 8/3/1977, with CA/DLE a 3641973 and YanQing Yin, DOB: 5/10/1990. I recalled Aihua Tang was also the name of the oy registered owner of the maroon Honda CR-V SUV bearing CA/LP#TTGW282 that was parked in ° front of 1105 Island Park Blvd. Bldg. 11, Shreveport, LA. The work Visa for Yin showed it just Y became valid 1/5/2017. After the traffic stop and Tien was given a warning, Tian traveled back to z 1950 E. 70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA. The white Toyota Rav 4 SUV traveled back to 2103 Old Minden Ra, Suite B, Bossier City, LA. On July 13, 2017, I checked Backpage for postings associated with the massage parlor. I noticed that 2103 Old Minden Rd, Suite B, Bossier City, LA, posted on Backpage at 0436 bours, which would be outside the hours of the listed hours for the business. The business hours are listed as 1000 bours to 2200 brs. At 1002 hours, 1950 E. 70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA again posted on Backpage, 6200800 ‘On July 13, 2017, Backpage responded to my administrative subpoena. { observed bundreds of postings in multiple states dating back io 2014, Here is a saraple of one of the postings from Missouri: “Welcome To Your Source of Healing and Time of Bliss. We Have a Rotational Staff of ‘Thoughtful Professional Therapists Waiting to Enchant You With Her Magic Touch. Our Al Of ‘The Healers Help You Find Relief. We Have Young Friendly Staff for Your Enjoyment. All Friendly Nice Licensed. She Treats You Right From Tension Filled Start to Smiling Finish.” This ad appears to have not written by the individuals doing the massage. It discusses a rotational staff’ which is quite relevant to human trafficking. Then it mentions start to Gish and smiling. Another advertisement says, “Three young gitls give you all good massage.” This advertisement was from ‘Des Moines, 1A., “New girl from Vegas | ||| l » Young GirlsLotus Asian Massage.” [then noticed new advertisement dated July 11, 2017 and July 12, 2017 for Huntsville, AL. The ad says, “Best Asian massage, Grand Opening Tel: 256-541-2395.” The address listed for this massage parlor is 7901 Memorial Parkway SW #H Huntsville, AL. All of the advertisements, dated back to 2014 were created by a user using the email address tonytony1983@botmail.com. On July 13, 2017, I contacted Sgt. Nash and updated him on our case. I also informed him of the information | received from Backpage. I asked Sgt. Nash if Linan Tian had ever been known to use the came “Tony.” | was attempting to put an association between the email used for the Beekpage posts, “Tonytony1983” and Tian. J was aware that Tian’s date of birth was 1983, but wasn't aware of alias used. (On July 13,2017 at approximately 2037 hours, while agents were conducting surveillance of 1950 E. 70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA, they observed the Asian male and one (1) Asian female leave that location in the Jeep Compass. Surveitlance units followed the vehicle to 2103 Old Minden Rd, Suite B, Bossier City, LA. At 2045 hours, the Asian male dropped off the Asian female and left. He retumed to 1950 E. 70ch Suite A, Shreveport, LA approximately 40 minutes. (On July 13,2017, at approximately 2135 hours, while agents were conducting surveillance of 1950 E, 70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA, they observed the Asian male and two (2) Asian females behind the business as they were preparing to close. Agents observed one (1) Asian female place a garage bag in the trashi dumpster and the Asian male place a garbage bag in the rear hatch of the Jecp Compass. ‘The Asian male and two (2) Asian fernales departed in the Jeep Compass and were followed beck to 1105 Island Park Blvd, Bldg. 11, Shreveport, LA. Shortly afterwards, surveillance units observed the Jeep Compass leave. ‘They followed the Jeep Compass to 2103 Old Minden Rd, Suite B, Bossier City, LA. As the Jeep Compass arrived, surveillance units observed the Asian male driving. An older Asian female exited the 2103 Old Minden Ra. Suite B, Bossier City, LA location. She took Supplemental Reports - Case#: 17004356 - Neme: LT, BING BING - Offense#: REC'D 8/29/17 b in ° ‘one (|) trash bag to the dumpster and then walked over to the Jeep Compass. The Asian male took ‘the trash bag from the Asian female and placed it in the hatch of the Jeep Compass and left. ‘Surveillance units then followed the Jeep Compass to 1105 Istand Park Blvd, Bldg, 11, Shreveport, LA. Surveillance units stayed for a period of time in the event the garbage bags were going to be Giscarded inthe apartment complex’s dumpster, According to Sgt. Nash, during thei investigation they learned thar the items/iresh from their businesses thet they felt would incriminate them they ‘would take home and throw away. Surveillance units never observed the bags being discarded. ‘On July 14, 2017, LSP Agents began surveillance atthe residence of 1105 Island Park Blvd, Blag. 1, Shreveport, LA. At 0931 hours, two (2) Asian females exited Ultris Island Park Apartment Building #11, Shreveport, LA. The walked to the bottom of the steps and waited. Shortly afterwards, an older Asian female walked down the steps, walked passed them and began walking + towards the white Toyota SUV. The Asian male then walked down. The two (2) Asian females appeared (o be taking directions from the older Asian female and the Asian male, Surveillance units ‘hen observed two (2) Asian females enter the white Toyota Rav 4 SUV bearing CA/LPE7GRW657, along with one (1) Asian male and two (2) Asian females enter the black Jeep Compass bearing: MO/LP# PM8H2J. The vehicles left and did not stop at the dumpster on the way out, The white Toyota Rav 4 SUV bearing CA/LP#7GRW657 traveled to 2103 Old Minden Rad. Suite B, Bossier City, LA and the Jeep Compass traveled to 1950 E, 70th Suite A, Shreveport, LA. (On July 14, 2017, Sgt. Nash called to inform me that he was able to find reports where associates referred to Linan Tian as “Tony.” Additionally, the IRS agent that is working with Sgt. Nash was able to confirm with him that the email address “Tonytony1983,” was used to open the JP Morgan bank accounts in Shreveport. o a Zz © a 2 e ‘On July 14,2017, I contacted the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy. [corapared the listof names ‘wehad compiled from our investigation tothe states ist of board certified massage therapists. Only one name was amatch and that was for BingBing Li, BingBing Li is Linan Tian’s suspected wife and business partner, Itis believed she is currently in Huntsville, Alabama setting up the newest massage parlor. 8 In summary, the Missouri State Highway Patrol contacted the Louisiana State Police and requested assistance after their suspects in their Human Trafficking/Money Laundering investigation were believed to be in Louisiana, Affiant and other Detectives with Louisiana State Police were able to ‘confirm the suspects; Linan Tian and Wenjuan Li were in Louisiana, Wenfuan Li has prior convictions in 2008 from Nevada for Engaging in Prostitution, Obscene of opposite Sex Massage and in 2011 from Minois for Keeping a Place of Prostitution. Affiant has located two (2) massage parlors in Louisiana run by Tian; one located at 1950 E. 70th St Suite A, Shreveport, LA- Palm ‘Asian Massage and one located et 2103 Old Minden Rd. Suite B, Bossier City, LA- The Spa. Additionally, Detectives located a residence at 1105 Island Park Bivd.Aptl 110, Shreveport, LA. Detectives then began conducting surveillance on the two massage parlors. During the surveillance operations, Detectives witnessed numerous males entering the two businesses, staying for time periods of 30 minutes to two hows. During the times when it was busy it was easy to determine the males were there by appointment time. As one car would leave another would arrive. Sometimes the males would pass one another when entering and exiting. Daring the entire operation, surveillance units did not see any females frequenting 2103 Old Minden Rd. Suite B, Bossier City, LA and only saw two (2) at 1950 E. 70th St. Suite A, Shreveport, LA; however Detectives believed they were just visiting. In two prior situations investigated by Missouri Stete Highway Patrol, the Asian female employees were being forced to stay with their employer and not allowed to come and 0 as they pleased, During our investigation, it was obvious that Linan Tian and the older Asian female believed to be Wenjuan Li were in charge. ‘The two (2) Asian females never lef the apartment building or massage parlors without Tian or Li. They appeared to wait for instructions, They never drove or just stepped outside during their 12 hour shift to get some air. Only Tian and Li ‘came outside and/or left. The businesses are posting on Backpage, which has been confirmed to solicit for prostitution, The businesses are posting outside “business hours,” sucb as at 0436 hours. Additionally, ater checking with the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy the only person fram our investigation who has been confirmed to have a massage licenses is BingBing Li. She is currently suspected to be in Huntsville, AL setting up their newest location at 7901 Memorial Parkway SW #H Huntsville, AL.
