According to the California Department Of Fish And Wildlife they have received over a 150 phone calls regarding Hank and the damage that he has caused.

Hank The Tank More News
A 500-pound bear broke into a home in South Lake Tahoe on Friday — and it isn’t the first time. The bear, known as “Hank the Tank,” has broken into dozens of homes in the area and become quite a problem for locals, CBS Sacramento reports.
Locals are contemplating whether or not to have the bear killed, as they believe it may be the only option at this point.
The bear is well-known and now wanted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. A spokesperson said the bear has damaged dozens of homes and is responsible for more than 150 calls.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife have been trying to track Hank for more than six months.
“These are neighborhoods, there’s a lot of people around, traffic and cars. So, we have to do this in a way that is safe for both the public and the bear itself,” said spokesperson Peter Tira. “This is a severely food habituated bear. What that means is this is a bear that has lost all fear of people and it sees people and homes as a source of food.”
The most recent break-in took place on Catalina Drive Friday morning. The bear had broken a small window and squeezed into the home, where the homeowners had no idea how to get him out.
Officers responded and banged on the outside of the house until Hank came out the back door. They then stayed in the area to ensure he continued on his way without damaging or entering other homes.
“I’ve been in town 40 years and I’ve been locking my doors recently and I’ve never done that,” said one local resident, Tim Johnson.
Killing it is a move the Bear League calls cruel and unnecessary.
“We don’t want anybody to get hurt. Nobody wants that,” one person said. “We don’t want the bear to die either.”
The Bear League said it’s still waiting to hear back from Fish and Wildlife about a possible sanctuary move. Meanwhile, a meeting on the issue is set for Wednesday night in Tahoe Keys.
Pam Hupp is a woman from California who may look like the lady from down the block however this particular woman likes to kill people. According to court reports Pam Hupp would fatally shoot Louis Gumpenberg inside of Hupp’s residence. Now Pam Hupp would tell police that Louis Gumpenberg had attacked her with a knife so she had no choice but to shoot and kill the man. Unfortunately for Pam Hupp her story fell apart pretty quickly as Louis Gumpenberg had severe physical limitations as well as mental issues. Pam Hupp would receive a life sentence for this murder that took place in 2016.
The thing about Pam is that the Louis Gumpenberg was not likely her first murder for Hupp was involved in the murder of Betsy Faria in 2011. See Pam Hupp would be the prosecutors main witness against Betsy Faria husband Russ Faria who was charged in the murder. Betsy Faria who was stabbed to death inside of her home was murdered for the insurance money. Now days before Betsy Faria murder she had changed the life insurance to reflect Pam Hupp as the new beneficiary, wanting Pam to hold onto the money until her children were older. Prosecutors would say at Russ Faria trial that this was the reason why Russ had murdered Betsy. Russ would be found guilty after his first trial and not guilty in his second trial. In 2021 Pam Hupp would be charged with the murder of Betsy.
So now we have two murders, yes one is alleged, police now believe that Pam Hupp had invited Louis Gumpenberg into her home as she planned to frame him for the murder of Betsy Faria in order to ensure Russ conviction. However her plan backed fired and she ended up killing Louis Gumpenberg.
With Pam Hupp the murders of Louis Gumpenberg and Betsy Faria are the two most well known tied to this case but there is yet another murder. Pam Hupp mother, Shirley Mae Neumann, would die in 2013 and the woman who was suffering from Alzheimers and physical ailments would allegedly fall from her balcony and die from her injuries. However the case would take a strange turn when someone called in to police saying that Pam Hupp admitting to killing her mother for the insurance money. The death at Shirley Mae Neumann was at first ruled as accidental however the cause of death was later changed to undetermined. Whether Pam Hupp is responsible for the death of Shirley Mae Neumann is still up for debate.

Pam Hupp More News
Pam Hupp has been charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action for the December 2011 murder of Betsy Faria, Lincoln County Prosecutor Mike Wood announced at a press conference on Monday.
The charges are the latest chapter in a long and twisted case.
Pam Hupp was the last person known to have seen Betsy Faria alive before she was stabbed to death in her Troy, Missouri home just after Christmas, 2011. Betsy’s husband Russ discovered her body when he returned home from his weekly game night with friends
According to court documents obtained by Dateline this week, Pam Hupp tracked her friend’s every move on Tuesday, December 27, 2011, waiting until she was weak and lethargic from chemotherapy that day, and gave her a ride home, knowing Betsy’s husband Russ would not be there.
Betsy was stabbed repeatedly, and court documents allege Hupp then dipped Betsy’s socks in her own blood and spread it around the house to make it look like her husband killed her in a domestic assault.
The court document goes on to outline what Lincoln County Prosecutor Mike Wood describes as a “compelling circumstantial murder case, one that is very difficult to deny.” Yet, the facts of the case were ignored, he added, announcing that there will be a new investigation into “potential prosecutorial and police misconduct in the Betsy Faria case.”
“To me it felt as if this was confirmation – bias in its purest form, largely driven by ego,” he said. “I can confidently say they weren’t interested in finding any evidence that pointed anywhere else.”
At the press conference on Monday, Wood also announced that they will be seeking the death penalty, saying “I do not take lightly the decision to pursue the death penalty, but this case stands alone in its heinousness and depravity, such that it shocks the conscience.”
“One of the aggravating factors we’re obviously able to rely on with the death penalty was that she murdered for the insurance money, but I will specifically say this case struck very deep into our souls and into our conscience with a level of depravity not regularly seen,” Wood said Monday. “What I can say is that we have a person who not only murdered her friend, then mutilated the body, staged the scene, testified against an innocent man, and then once he was acquitted, went and murdered someone in St. Charles County to prevent herself from being considered as a suspect. I can’t pick a case more depraved than that.”
Four days before the murder, Betsy, who had terminal cancer, had made her friend Pam the beneficiary of a $150,000 life insurance policy in place of her husband. It was a change Betsy’s other friends and family members, including Russ, said they knew nothing about.
Russ was charged with Betsy’s murder in 2012 after an investigation in which Hupp pointed the finger at Russ. Hupp went on to testify against him at his trial in November 2013. He was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life in prison.
Russ Faria’s conviction was later overturned.
At his retrial before another judge in November 2015, Faria’s defense attorney Joel Schwartz pointed to Hupp as the person with the motive and opportunity to kill Betsy. Hupp was not called by either side to testify. This time, Faria was found not guilty. The Lincoln County prosecutor at the time, who led the state’s case against Russ at both trials, continued to maintain that Russ was Betsy’s killer.
Then, in August 2016, Hupp shot and killed a man she claimed had accosted her in the driveway of her O’Fallon, Missouri home, demanding “Russ’s money” and threatening to kill her. Investigators determined that the man, Louis Gumpenberger, was not an intruder but was instead an unwitting participant in a scheme Hupp had devised to frame Russ Faria and portray him as a violent person.
According to investigators, Gumpenberger, who had a brain injury, was approached by Hupp posing as a Dateline producer. Investigators believe Hupp lured Gumpenberger into her car with a bogus promise of money to re-enact a 911 call for an upcoming episode, something Dateline would never do.
A week after the incident, Hupp was charged with Gumpenberger’s murder. In a St. Charles County, Missouri courtroom in the summer of 2019, Hupp entered an Alford plea in the case allowing her to avoid a death-penalty trial. Without admitting guilt, Hupp acknowledged that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict her of killing Gumpenberger. She was sentenced to life in prison.
That case prompted newly-elected Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wood to reopen Betsy Faria’s murder case, which eventually led to today’s charges.
Pam Hupp has repeatedly denied having any involvement in Betsy Faria’s murder.
Steven Carrillo has changed his plea to guilty in the murder of David Patrick Underwood who was shot and killed at a federal building in Oakland California. According to court documents Steven Carrillo would open fire outside of a Federal building that would kill David Underwood and injure his partner. Steven Carrillo would agree to plead guilty so the death penalty would be taken off of the table. Steven Carrillo is expected to receive a forty year prison sentence. In a separate incident Steven Carillo is facing more murder charges in the death of Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller who was killed a week after the Underwood shooting.
Steven Carrillo More News
A former U.S. Air Force staff sergeant and alleged member of the “boogaloo” extremist movement pleaded guilty Friday in the fatal shooting of a federal security officer in the San Francisco Bay Area amid large 2020 protests against police brutality.
Steven Carrillo, 33, changed his plea to guilty to a federal murder charge in the killing of David Patrick Underwood and to the attempted murder of Underwood’s colleague after federal prosecutors last month agreed not to seek the death penalty.
The men were shot on May 29, 2020, while they stood in a guard shack in front of a federal building in Oakland.
Dressed in an orange jumpsuit in federal court, Carrillo read from a plea agreement, admitting to posting messages on Facebook a day before the shooting asking anyone if they were “down to boo” and saying he was ready to act and not just talk. He also admitted firing 19 rounds from a homemade AR-15 rifle.
“I aligned myself with the anti-government movement and wanted to carry out violent acts against federal law enforcement officers in particular,” Carrillo said.
Prosecutors on Jan. 31 said they would not seek the death penalty, but U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said Friday she is not convinced that she will accept the plea agreement between prosecutors and defense lawyers calling for a 41-year prison sentence.
“I cannot accept a plea unless there was a sufficient independent factual basis for the plea,” she said. Carillo is scheduled to be sentenced on June 3 but Gonzalez Rogers warned that she could reject the plea agreement if she doesn’t feel prosecutors and defense lawyers do enough to justify the sentence.
And if she does, Carillo would go to trial and his admissions in court could be used against him, Gonzalez Rogers said.
Prosecutors have said Carrillo, of Santa Cruz, had ties to the “boogaloo” movement —a concept embraced by a loose network of gun enthusiasts and militia-style extremists. The group started in alt-right culture on the internet with the belief that there is an impending U.S. civil war, according to experts.
Authorities accused Carrillo of fatally shooting Underwood after spraying a guard shack he was in with bullets from a white van.
Underwood’s sister, Angela Underwood Jacobs, called Carillo a “domestic terrorist” during Friday’s hearing.
“Cowards like you fear true bravery,” she said, crying.
Prosecutors said Robert Alvin Justus Jr., of Millbrae, drove the van and faces federal charges of murder and attempted murder in the case.
The pair is accused of driving to Oakland and taking advantage of the distraction afforded by people marching through the city’s downtown to protest George Floyd’s killing by a police officer in Minneapolis.
A week after the shooting in Oakland, Carrillo allegedly ambushed sheriff’s deputies in Santa Cruz County who were responding to a report of a van containing firearms and bomb-making materials. Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller, 38, was killed and several other law enforcement officials were wounded, according to authorities and court records.
Prosecutors in Santa Cruz charged Carrillo with a slew of felonies, including murder and attempted murder in connection to that killing.
Carrillo pleaded not guilty to Gutzwiller’s killing.
