I need something official from y'all showing these deposits and they do us a solid and get us what we need.
During the search warrant, we find just a lot of money wrapped up in like three by five cards, a lot of that. Money just in weird places.
Comes across the orange-colored toolbox, and when he opens it up, there's approximately $100,000 in cash wrapped up in the bank wrappers.
We found some airline receipts. But what we did see was the matching purple suitcase that Cassandra supposedly left with was in that storage unit. And in that purple suitcase was ladies' clothing, shoes, brush, and various other items.
On July 2nd, we get a call from the sheriff's department, out of all people, that there is a guy named Henry Steiger at a Dollar General store. about 20 minutes from the police department with a child. And he was out there buying like a disposable phone and some gift cards, like Visa gift cards.
That's when he, again, first learns the terms murder and homicide in this search warrant. I just got such a dumb look on his face.
We got there just in time that we believed we did. When we took him into custody... Searching him, we find two prepaid cell phones, a bunch of keys, and some cash.
So he comes down on July the 10th and explains to us that he's actually doing construction work for Steiger at a business in downtown Pensacola that Steiger has the plans to convert into a coffee shop, which we didn't think was too strange because he's in this coffee business.
By the time Detective Iverson and I get back up to our offices, the officer who's working the front desk calls us and says, hey, Shelby said there's something he forgot to tell y'all and wants y'all to come down. I'm like, oh, OK. So we go down there and he says, hey, I forgot to tell y'all that back in the middle of June, Henry was getting grief therapy.
from his HOA about a trailer he had parked in his driveway. And I told him he could park his trailer out on my empty land lot thing and that he could leave it there for a while.
We drive out there and this trailer is tucked back in like a wooded area and is surrounded by all the honeybees that he is using to produce the honey. Detective Iverson, she gets out of the vehicle that I'm driving, walks over to the trailer. Me, I don't like pain. I refuse to get out because I don't want to get stung by these bees. I hear Detective Iverson start yelling to get my attention.
So I walk over there and there's a vent near the front of the trailer. She's like, smell that, tell me what you smell. And it's literally, I about throw up right then. It is obviously the smell of decomposition going on.
When we open the back of the trailer, the first thing we see is the hot air balloon basket that the people stand in if they're on a hot air balloon. Then we'll remove the basket, which was several hundred pounds. Those things are heavy. We see two green barrels that have a large metal locking device at the top of each one. The first one we open is, there's nothing in it.
It's like pristine, crystal clean. The second one, once we remove the screw, we find Cassandra inside that barrel.
It appears that she was stuffed in the barrel feet first. She's wearing a purple shirt, blue jeans, and it's got a bag over her head and. The barrel has a couple inches of bodily fluid in it. It's 100% a homicide. Now, during the search, we just find a bunch of stuff that belongs to Cassandra, a wallet, her ID, Florida Medicare card, gift cards. We find the other missing suitcase.
We arrest Julian on the money laundering conspiracy and destructuring the deposits. He spends the night in jail and he comes down on the 26th. His interview is long.
Then he tells us about a conversation that him and Henry have on the night of the 1st, where he goes into all this philosophical talking stuff.
mess that he likes to use they're just using plain english and during that he says henry tells him that he basically grabs her by the throat chokes her out the baby she's holding baby at the time the baby slides down hits the ground and then he has to put her in one of those black totes and that's how he gets the body moved out of the house that night
I've gotten a pretty good relationship with Evelyn and her adoptive parents. So every year at Christmas, police department sponsors a, like a Christmas party for kids in our area. We've come in contact with whose parents are like victims of crimes. And Evelyn is the only child that gets invited back every year. So I get to see Evelyn every year, which is kind of cool.
Get invited to her birthday party. So I'm going to her birthday party once or twice. Just a bunch of good folks her family is. And I'm trying not to cry. All she knows is that the family member she's with now is her mom. I haven't told her the story. She'll obviously maybe find out one day, maybe not. But she is thriving.
