Henry's there, along with Evelyn. And we talked to Henry for two, two and a half hours. We just have pretty candid conversation with him. But what I thought was weird is Evelyn was one years old, a little over one at this point. Kid could barely walk. He held her literally the entire time. And he would feed, while we were there, Evelyn, Apple Jacks.
Apple Jacks are an orangish color and a greenish color cereal. And I can't remember which one it was, but he refused to give her either the green or the orangish red one. He'd only give them the same as that color. And it was immediately like, this guy, there's something wrong with this guy.
He seemed to be willing to want to help, seemed to be somewhat concerned. Obviously, the last place he had seen or heard from her was on February the 1st. He had said that during their conversation that evening, Cassandra said she wanted to go on a well-deserved vacation, but he did not know where she had went.
So we started asking about, well, if she's going on vacation, does she have a passport? How is she going to get in and out of the United States? I'm assuming you got to have a passport. And he didn't believe she had a passport.
I asked, have you attempted to contact Cassandra? Whether it be through email, text message, phone calls. He said he had not attempted to contact her because he did not want to bother her while she was on her well-deserved vacation. I thought that was very odd. We kind of just put that in the back of our mind and we keep on talking to him.
So he walks us around the house and shows us where their bathroom's at, walks us to a closet. While we're in the closet, Henry points to several suitcases. There's a silver one and a purple one. And he tells us that when Cassandra left, she took the matching suitcases with her to those other two. So we know now we're probably looking for a silver suitcase and a purple suitcase.
He goes into the story, but it really didn't make sense to us. Henry deflects blame to everybody else except himself. That is one thing we noticed pretty quick. It's always someone else's fault. It's never Henry Steiger's fault.
He, at one point, referred to himself as acting like a brother figure to her and taking care of her. Thinking to myself, a brother figure? Who the heck sleeps with their sister then and has a baby with them if you're a brother figure? That's crazy. It's another one of those things that we later figure out that I don't know what to believe when it comes out of Henry Steiger's mouth.
We directly ask him, did you kill her? And he obviously tells us no, but he makes a couple of statements that we find very, I don't want to say troubling, but something that we want to follow up on. In one of them, he says, she could come back any day. She could be in some type of rehab center or she could be indisposed of. It's pretty telling.
He responded, she is either not coming back because something happened or occurred against her will. We're like, holy cow. After those two statements, I believe Henry harmed her. And now we just got to figure out how he harmed her and where she may be.
And what we find out is he is involved in a coffee bean roasting business. And the two people he's involved in this business with is a lady by the name of Nadina and a guy by the name of Julian Mazur. Henry refers to Julian as his right-hand man, kind of does everything for him. His driver, his business associate is basically his do-boy. There'd probably be a better way to describe Julian.
We explained to her why we're there and what we're working. She states during that interview... So it was on around the February 1st or 2nd. She receives a text message from Henry saying, hey, I have a surprise for you. He's like, OK. So she goes over and picks him up. And lo and behold, Henry's holding this child.
The whole child caught her off guard because, according to Nadina, she believed that her and Henry were in a relationship since about 2013, so about five years.
Henry tells her that, you know, about Cassandra, just briefly about her. But during that conversation, according to Nadina... He says Cassandra is only used for her breast milk.
Julian confirmed that, yeah, he is a business associate with Steiger, and they were involved in this coffee bean business. He described his involvement as the driver. He would drive Henry around town wherever he needed to go. And basically, he was at his beck and call. If Henry needed something, he would take care of it.
For some reason, it stuck out in Julian's mind that he, on that particular day, the morning of, he drove to multiple DMV locations with Henry that were both in Escambia County, which is the county that Pensacola's in, and Santa Rosa County, which is the next county over, and also to several different Wells Fargo banks.
He said he had had two vehicles put in his name. We learned about a storage unit at the Noah's Ark storage, which is like literally two blocks from the police department.
Henry had given him $40,000 in cash to deposit in the bank. And Henry had told him he can't put more than $9,999 in 99 cent account at one time. And I asked him, well, did Henry tell you why you can't do that? He told him about the banking reporting regulations, which $10,000 or more, they have to fill out a SARS report.
So Henry explained that to him, and he needed to do multiple deposits at the various banks, branches of the Wells Fargo.
So the good thing with being in, when I was in fraud is I made a lot of connections at these banks. I mean, I can call our prosecutor and be like, hey man, I need a subpoena for bank records from Wells Fargo. And literally it'll be in my email in like a couple of minutes. And I'm talking to the people at Wells Fargo. I'm like, look, all I need is this right now.
