WACO, Texas (AP) – In the month before his wife died, a minister in Texas tried to buy a prescription sleeping aid online and conducted an Internet search for "overdose on sleeping pills," computer experts testified Thursday in his murder trial. Neal Kersh, a computer forensics examiner, testified that he examined data from Matt Baker's churchowned laptop and was able to retrieve information from a computer server at a youth center where Baker worked. Baker's computer went missing two months after Kari's death. Kersh said Baker sent emails just before and after those 2006 Internet searches and site visits, indicating he—not anyone else—was at the computer looking at the pharmaceutical sites and online pharmacies. Baker is accused of killing his wife Kari, whose death initially was ruled a suicide.

A month before his wife's death in April 2006, Baker looked at six Web sites on the same day and did a Google search using the words "overdose on sleeping pills," Kersh testified. Baker looked at a dozen more sites on three other days in March, and looked at 11 more just three days before her death, Kersh said. Mark E. Henry, the CEO of an online pharmacy, testified that Baker started to buy a 50-count bottle of the prescription sleep aid Ambien but stopped the order. Henry, who said he examined records from his database to determine the activity from Baker's computer, said numerous customers in 2006 stopped their orders because at the time, the company's delivery could take 10 days and there was no way to track an order. Ambien was one of three drugs found in Kari Baker's body, but the amount in her system or when it was ingested could not be determined because the autopsy was performed three months after her death and her body had been embalmed, two doctors involved in her autopsy FORMER BAPTIST MINISTER Matt Baker, accused of drugging and suffocating his wife Kari, is shown in a video during his trial inside Judge Ralph Strother's 19th District courtroom, Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2010, in Waco,Texas.

The ashes of Air Force Maj. Russell C. Goodman will be scattered in Alaska, his family told Anchorage television station KTUU. The station said the family was currently in Hawaii, where forensic experts identified Goodman from bone fragments. One of Goodman's daughters, Sue Stein, told the station the family learned about the identification a week after the death of their mother, June Stein, who always hoped for the return of her husband.

Goodman during a funeral service at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas Thursday, Jan. 14. Goodman, an Air Force pilot, was shot down during a bombing mission in Vietnam in 1967. AP photo But apparently somebody did care, so that is a good thing," Stein said. Goodman, who was from Salt Lake City, will be honored this week at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. The base is home to the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird demonstration team. When Goodman went missing, he was assigned to the Thunderbirds and was flying with the U.S. Navy on an exchange program. Goodman's F-4B Phantom took off from the USS Enterprise and was struck by enemy anti-aircraft fire on Feb. 20, 1967. The plane was on a bombing mission against a railroad yard in Thanh Hoa Province in North Vietnam. Another man in the plane, Navy Lt. Gary L. Thornton, was able to eject at 250 feet above ground. He survived and was held captive until his release in 1973. Goodman did not escape the plane. Search-and-rescue efforts for him were limited because of heavy anti-aircraft and automatic weapons fire near the crash site, the Defense Department said. Joint U.S.-Vietnamese teams led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command conducted two investigations and excavations at the crash site between 1993 and 2008. The efforts recovered human remains and aircraft debris that matched what the men were flying. The remains were identified as Goodman's using circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools, including mitochondrial DNA that matched two of Goodman's maternal relatives.
