But even with the surprise visit of two Pensacola detectives at his door, Henry was welcoming.
an extended vacation. And the more the two detectives pushed and probed, the more Henry was able to remember about this impromptu holiday. According to Henry, Cassandra had talked about going to Bermuda and had even borrowed some money from a friend to fund the trip.
The two detectives asked to take a tour of the house with Henry leading the way.
The more time the detective spent with Henry, the more he seemed to have a strange take on his relationship with Cassandra. Because according to 53-year-old Henry, it was never a romantic relationship at all.
And again, Scott, that term you always use, like BRF, big red flag. If concerned, why not call the police or at least notify her family that he was worried that she wasn't planning to come back? Like something definitely does make you sit up from the second you hear it.
And again, during this conversation, it is now the end of June 2018. And at this point, Cassandra's been missing for nearly five months. Detectives have strong suspicions that her partner Henry knows much more than he's telling them. But they also still can't discount the idea that she had been planning on leaving Henry and maybe leaving their one-year-old daughter at home.
There was also internet searches made on Cassandra's phone that indicated she was looking into ways that she could add Henry's name to her daughter's birth certificate to make him financially responsible to care for their child. She was even searching for local hotels and had sent messages asking a friend to send her $300 via PayPal.
In short, she was making plans, maybe plans that she was stopped from carrying out.
Chad hoped that these two colleagues could help piece together a part of the story, or at least help corroborate Henry's version of events. Chad started with Henry's female colleague.
So Henry had revealed to this partner of five years that he was not only having a relationship with another woman, but that he was the father of her child.
Nadina couldn't offer any insight into what else may have happened on February 1st. She hadn't known Cassandra even existed, so she couldn't provide any information about her possible whereabouts. But Chad hoped that Henry's other business partner, a man named Julian, might have had more information to share.
And why was this important? Because supposedly Henry wasn't allowed to open bank accounts due to his federal probation and financial misdemeanors. So Julian had opened some for him and he'd acquired property on Henry's behalf too.
During their search for Cassandra, detectives had now stumbled on evidence of a money laundering scheme. But in addition to painting a clearer picture of Henry Steiger and his criminal background, it also gave them good reason to obtain a search warrant for his property. Whether that search would also reveal clues about Cassandra's fate was still unknown.
And it's all about Chad's background, which is obviously unrelated to a missing persons or any potential murder investigation. And it just shows how all these things that you may not even realize how they can really help connect dots and move investigations forward, how they can be utilized. Like it's Chad's experience in white collar crime that really now started to help move things quickly.
So a thorough search warrant execution often takes a really long time. I mean, it can take, on the quick end, many hours, working methodically around the room, looking inside everything. And one officer, while doing that, was searching the garage, made a huge find.
a packed suitcase filled with items belonging to Cassandra. Evidence that maybe she was planning a trip, but that she never reached her destination.
As for Henry Steiger, he was not exactly doing the kinds of things typical, at least for an innocent man.
The detectives' hunch about Steiger skipping town were right. At his residence, they found packed suitcases by the front door.
In the meantime, another detective had begun building a picture of all the other known associates of Henry Steiger that he may have contacted to help him make his escape from Pensacola. And what they found was that Henry enjoyed a hobby of beekeeping, and he had a friend in the beekeeping world named William Shelby Johnson.
The interview didn't last long with the friend offering up a little help. But shortly after being escorted out of the building, Henry's buddy made a quick beeline back to the station.
