00:00:45
me spotting when to hold back Steiger actually feels quite hard done by he feels that he was helping police with
00:00:52
their inquiries I have put myself here as a result of being cooperative and when to close in my only goal in
00:01:01
this was to locate Cassandra I'm broken I feel like giving up I'm Jessica a fox and I'm about to give
00:01:13
you exclusive access into the secrets of the interrogation room see how the world's finest detectives armed with
00:01:21
only their wits hone in on their suspects break down their lies and expose the shocking truth
00:01:28
we'll examine the signs a suspect is lying while revealing the expert techniques that result in an
00:01:35
all-important confession and justice for the victims and their families this is a very intelligent man and this
00:01:44
is going to be a very very interested interview [Music] [Music] in Pensacola Florida 53 year old
00:02:13
businessman Henry Steiger has violated his parole conditions after being convicted for fraud
00:02:21
he is being held at Santa Rosa County Jail while cops investigate his financial activities
00:02:28
I'll take these off while we talk and make it a little more comfortable okay
00:02:34
nice people in that same chair let me ride back with you okay okay [Music] Henry how you doing oh not so great I
00:02:52
think you guys know that though okay he's got bags under your eyes are you sleeping okay no I'm not sleeping okay
00:03:02
[Music] I don't know do you really do you really care but detectives Alverson and Wilhite are
00:03:13
not here to talk to Steiger about his fraud charges they're here to talk about a different
00:03:18
investigation entirely I want to talk to you about some other stuff and uh it's come up and if you want I I would
00:03:26
like to talk to you if you want to talk to me I'll try okay 25 year old nurse Cassandra Robinson has
00:03:34
been reported missing by one of her sisters Sandra is the mother of Henry steiger's
00:03:39
18 month old daughter Evelyn at the time of her disappearance nearly six months ago they were living together even
00:03:46
though according to Steiger they were no longer romantically involved until its arrest for the unrelated
00:03:53
Financial crime Steiger had been helping the cops with their investigations around Cassandra's disappearance
00:04:05
[Music] in a previous interview at his home Steiger explained that after Evelyn's
00:04:12
first birthday Cassandra had decided that she would go away for some time alone to recharge her batteries
00:04:29
it was planned in advance what was planned she said she was going on vacation oh yeah we had the little
00:04:39
birthday party and her bags were right there ready to go so I knew she was leaving and she knew
00:04:46
she was leaving and she left under the terms of much needed vacation which I was very sympathetic
00:04:54
for but Cassandra's family haven't heard from her in nearly six months and neither has Tiger
00:05:03
Kenny help detectives shed light on where she might have gone even though I've been told many times
00:05:16
never talked to the police on many different sources and even though I've had my own negative
00:05:22
experiences with talking to the FBI and the police in previous previously last year sure I've also had negative
00:05:31
experiences talking with the two of you I've lost every very short period of time so I'm
00:05:37
reticent that will only in the worst case scenario simply be twisted and used against me
00:05:48
[Music] tiger I was quite impressed with how intelligent he is he's obviously very
00:05:57
clever this is a man who loves his daughter and he's very family orientated I lost my business
00:06:07
you got my car you got my my child is separated from me which is the worst thing and um you know I gave you the red
00:06:15
so I'm losing the house my only goal in this was to locate Cassandra and find out what happened to
00:06:23
her you know when when we came to your house that's what from what we talked
00:06:27
about you know we didn't talk about your finances we did talk about my finances
00:06:31
for some reason why did we pick that up I I have no idea it was at the initial home interview around the time of
00:06:38
Cassandra's disappearance that Steiger inadvertently alerted the cops to his
00:06:43
own Financial irregularities do you work I do roasting on developing proprietary
00:06:57
technology for roasted coffee as well as new Delivery Systems how long I've been
00:07:03
doing that process of forming all the normal so we had to take one of our kind of
00:07:18
secretary people have him open it back again secretary give us the favor of opening to bank
00:07:37
account along with the opening of the company bank account Julia major had also allowed Steiger to use his name for
00:07:45
the purchase of two cars and the leasing of a storage unit because Steiger had been recently
00:07:51
convicted of Fraud and was still on probation the detectives reported the unusual arrangements to the federal
00:07:58
police as a result of that he has actually ended up in prison because of some sort
00:08:05
of money laundering or irregularities in relation to his finances and now Steiger
00:08:11
actually feels quite hard done by he feels that he was helping police with their inquiries
00:08:18
he is really angry about it and blames the fact that he's in jail on the two
00:08:25
investigators who are sitting in front of him basically he is accusing them of being the reason why he's currently
00:08:32
sitting in the situation that he's in effectively and practically speaking you
00:08:38
have disassembled everything that I've been working for I'm broken I feel like giving up
00:08:45
and maybe that's your goal I also know that whenever there is a significant other he's the number one
00:08:53
suspect I get that okay and so you have to start there Steiger is right although their
00:09:02
relationship isn't a conventional one he is the father of Cassandra's child and
00:09:08
the last person to have seen her before she vanished so my the most recent interaction with
00:09:15
my attorney said to me for God's sakes do not speak to any police officers without an attorney present it can never
00:09:25
do you any good that was the last piece of advice I got from my attorney now we got a guy who's pretty cagey he's
00:09:36
in jail he's getting all kinds of advice from everybody most of all don't talk to
00:09:41
anybody whatever you do don't talk okay quiet The Helpful Henry Steiger that
00:09:48
detectives first encountered in his home has changed they've lost his trust which could be
00:09:54
disastrous for their investigation into the fate of Cassandra Robinson stigma may not even be involved in
00:10:03
Cassandra's disappearance and so they've got to build this Rapport they've got to
00:10:07
have this sort of relationship where stoker may actually give them some information which could lead to another
00:10:13
Avenue of Investigation so it's really important to do that all of these things that I've lost are a
00:10:20
direct result of a single conversation with you I mean I I want to be cooperative I
00:10:30
think you've seen me be cooperative and yet I have put myself here as a result of
00:10:38
being cooperative so I don't know what to do you wanted to supply a list of questions
00:10:45
that I could somehow prepare to answer or have my attorney look at as it says here
00:10:52
Henry is definitely a control freak he's definitely being said he's the center of
00:10:56
attention he wants to control this interview and he's letting detectives know from the get-go that I want to be
00:11:03
in control here I believe that he's asked for those questions because he feels that he can
00:11:09
he feels that he's mischief-making he feels that he's got the upper hand with
00:11:13
the officers and he's trying his utmost to intimidate them as individuals there's an expression that says those
00:11:20
that control the frame control the outcome and to me that means is that a police interview is dependent upon
00:11:27
everyone playing their role and that means that the police are in a superior position the suspect is in a sort of
00:11:34
submissive position but within the Stagger interview the stagger's not playing his role he's he's sort of
00:11:41
manipulating the police officers if you like so right from the answer I thought this is a very intelligent man and this
00:11:46
is going to be a very very interested interview the stakes are high for both sides of
00:11:53
this interrogation for Henry Steiger it's about getting out of jail and being reunited with his baby
00:12:00
daughter Evelyn for detectives Alverson and will height it's about finding out
00:12:05
what has happened to Cassandra Robinson a young mother who has been missing for nearly six months
00:12:16
coming up is Henry Steiger a hero I'm saving you and this child and this relationship is he actually saving her
00:12:24
or is he controlling her or is he a deluded narcissist he's so overwhelmingly arrogant that he believes
00:12:33
in his self prophecy the world that she had more respect for part of [Music] detectives Alverson and wilheit of the
00:12:54
Pensacola Police Department are working an unusual missing person's case 25 year old nurse Cassandra Robinson was
00:13:03
reported missing on June 8th of 2018. neither friends family nor the father of her child Henry Steiger had seen her for
00:13:13
six months when someone goes missing and it's somebody without me somebody who's not
00:13:20
wealthy and has the ability to go missing on purpose right it's almost always bad news because most people they
00:13:28
don't move five feet without their telephone I don't care who you are what country
00:13:34
you live in how poor you are you almost always have a phone so when you're not
00:13:39
finding any activity on their ATM cards their public aid cards their telephone and it goes about 72 hours something bad
00:13:48
happened but Henry Steiger seems more worried about his finances and the possible fraud charges than Cassandra's
00:13:56
whereabouts I can tell you that the the situation I'm in with the feds potentially be never ending
00:14:08
they haven't they haven't charged me yet but they could it never ends and you can't defend yourself against
00:14:15
them with a toddler to take care of on the outside it seems Justified for Steiger
00:14:21
to be focused on his incarceration and financial plight but is he also being strategic
00:14:29
Steiger continued to try and bring the whole discussion back to the federal charges the money laundering and the
00:14:37
other items that he's involved in it was his way of trying to control the interview to steer the officers away
00:14:43
from asking the questions for which they're actually there he was trying to avoid the delicate
00:14:49
conversation Around The Disappearance of Cassandra put me in a spot where worst possible condition in my life
00:14:58
well I don't know yourself I hope that's for a a good purpose in the end
00:15:06
well I I hope it is you know because you've got that beautiful little girl you know I
00:15:12
you know I I gotta find Cassandra the detective's primary motive going into this interview is to find out what
00:15:23
happened to Cassandra they are going to show all the patients in the world and do whatever they have to to work through
00:15:33
Henry's stumbling blocks the things that he's upset about the reasons he doesn't
00:15:37
want to talk they will do whatever they feel they have to do to get to the point
00:15:42
which is what they need to find out about Cassandra to get past Henry's defenses do Alverson
00:15:49
tries moving to save her ground he stops talking about Cassandra's disappearance and instead inquires about
00:15:56
their relationship Steiger takes the bait what was she was she like just just general disconcert right
00:16:07
unset dissatisfaction with life in general just I could never please her and she was dissatisfied with our
00:16:16
relationship in that I could not give her honestly what she wanted she wanted more of a a peer to peer romantic
00:16:26
partnership kind of relation mostly it became me babysitting her and becoming a a caretaker for her and
00:16:37
helping her up and you know maybe that's the Savior complex in me from being the
00:16:42
big brother so when the relationship converts to and almost all my girlfriend relationships
00:16:49
converted to Little Sister Big Brother relationships and then the you know [Music]
00:16:58
Steiger and Cassandra first met four years earlier in 2014. he claims Cassandra was working in a
00:17:06
strip club but after they became romantic he helped her begin a new life look I've put her through the nursing
00:17:14
school I got her out of Pensacola she asked me help me get out of this drug scene and I made her get her own job and
00:17:22
pay her own rent but I would have to come to town every once in a while and buy 400 worth of groceries for her and
00:17:29
stock her up you know and she was living so meagerly I was proud of her she knows proud of her that relationship
00:17:39
was I'm proud of you for this progress that you're making [Music] when Steiger talks about himself and he
00:17:46
talks about his relationship with Cassandra he does talk about him saving her and he does seem to have this sort
00:17:53
of Savior image of himself and that to me would straight away bring some alarm Bells because is he actually saving her
00:18:00
or is he controlling her is he dominating her how much Freedom did she actually have
00:18:07
in 2016 Cassandra became pregnant despite steiger's description of their failing relationship
00:18:15
Cassandra moved in so to understand the context of the story I moved her in under the
00:18:23
understanding um that I didn't know if the child was mine I didn't move her in case the child
00:18:29
was mine I thought it was unwise of her to have that child in her condition of Life her position in life
00:18:36
I'm saving I'm a saver right I'm saving you and this child and I put them in my
00:18:40
guest bedroom so I didn't move them into my master bedroom I you know I didn't
00:18:44
you're not here in the context of us being in a family relationship but I'm
00:18:48
going to take care of you like a family relationship and that's really the best
00:18:52
I can do for you that would be that's even a bigger deal well I mean you know the world changes
00:19:05
for you when you realize you have a baby sure sure and I already loved her so it
00:19:12
wasn't like it was an inconvenience do you think Cassandra wanted what she couldn't have
00:19:16
you know I think she doesn't feel like she fits in with her family at all and I think
00:19:25
the opportunity to in a different world than the world she was raised in right a world that she had
00:19:32
more respect for and wanted to be a part of he delivers the traits of a psychopath
00:19:42
he believes that he is the savior his arrogance is overwhelming you watch the interviews and the way that he delivers
00:19:49
his answers and the way that he deals with the officers he is so overwhelmingly arrogant that he believes
00:19:57
in his self-prophecy what he's really saying is that he believes himself to have this special
00:20:03
purpose and his life to believe that he's got some sort of dispensation to do
00:20:08
pretty much whatever he wants to whoever he wants the detective strategy is working
00:20:15
no longer upset with them or defensive Steiger is confidently reaching out and taking the initiative to build rapport
00:20:24
you don't much care who what people think about you more like this guy here who doesn't care what people think about
00:20:29
it you uh I do really yeah okay I think everybody you know has a heart I do have a heart
00:20:38
very compassionate pensional so I do care Steiger tries to ingratiate himself with
00:20:44
the detectives he tries to build a rapport and at one point the detective shows a photograph of his own child
00:20:50
shall we this is my do no wrong okay she can do no wrong so they they sort of build up this
00:21:00
camaraderie but from the detective side of the coin that is good because he's
00:21:06
building that friendship that Rapport that trust and that may then present a false sense of security which may allow
00:21:15
Steiger to put his guard down because again it's about getting the truth you
00:21:20
should know that I respect you and what you're doing in your job and that I hope
00:21:27
I haven't said anything to make you feel like you've actually been very special
00:21:31
to me okay good you've never said anything I've had people say all kind of
00:21:35
crazy stuff yeah it's always been very respectful so after you know use that against you
00:21:48
when the detective asked him did Cassandra were threaten to take the baby away from him they're trying to give him
00:21:52
a uh it's a segue into going well and how did you feel about that and what were you willing to do about it and how
00:21:59
far are you willing to go to prevent that from happening and that's one of those questions you hope he bites on and
00:22:05
maybe he over commits to it she used that against me before she knew it was mine before I don't remember what's mine
00:22:13
she did that all along did it ever make you nervous when she would say that kind
00:22:18
of stuff that she was gonna actually do it her whole life made me nervous yeah she's
00:22:23
not a controllable person right when she said that she was going to go on her vacation
00:22:28
did she say that she was going to take Evelyn with her no no she needed a vacation from the schedule
00:22:36
and you were like okay I wasn't like that it was like I was sympathetic to her reason for
00:22:44
wanting to go which was the schedule the schedule is driving her nuts so in terms of starting his responses in
00:22:52
respect of his daughter and his partner you know most of the two very different responses when he speaks about the
00:22:59
partner this sort of micro expressions of disgust if you slow down the footage you'll see those crinkle and it's a sort
00:23:06
of bad smell sort of you know they're almost imperceptible to the human eye so
00:23:10
that tells me that you know he adds up to contempt really for her and not much respect it's clear that he really
00:23:17
idolizes the daughter you know she's gone on a complete pedestal how long was it
00:23:26
didn't reach a bottle when she's done with it Like a Surgeon she just hands it to me right without looking at
00:23:35
me take it I take it set it on the table and then she curls up and goes to sleep and then in the middle of
00:23:43
the night or when she's thirsty she'll sit up and just point get me something
00:23:49
and I'll reach for the bottle there's different colors of bottles and she
00:23:52
knows which one she wants is that the love of a father or is that somebody who doesn't want that child to
00:23:59
be a possession of someone else so the love of a father wouldn't take away jealousy hate and all the other
00:24:06
indicators in this particular person's case he does not want Cassandra to be
00:24:14
part of this child's life so can we go back to our life please Henry Steiger has opened up about his
00:24:27
relationship with Cassandra claiming they were no longer romantically involved when she disappeared and
00:24:33
despite her being the mother of his child he has portrayed her as an unreliable absent parent for whom he has
00:24:40
little respect but for the cops this is a red flag they believe a controlling deluded narcissist
00:24:50
has revealed himself now that Henry is feeling confident detective Alverson is ready to move in
00:24:59
with evidence that they've been holding back on in an attempt to finally get to
00:25:05
the truth about Cassandra Robinson coming up shocking evidence Steiger can't deny
00:25:18
[Music] do you recognize these containers at this time the owner could there be an explanation well it is
00:25:33
and that's my problem even at this point he contact responsibility that's who he is to his
00:25:39
call Henry Steiger says his on off girlfriend Cassandra Robinson went away on vacation
00:25:51
but never returned that was six months ago claiming their relationship was already over when she
00:25:58
left he has been happily so parenting their daughter Evelyn ever since the interrogation room has become a
00:26:06
place of trust and friendly chat as Steiger and the detectives compete to charm and seduce each other
00:26:13
but their game of cat and mouse is about to end we've got to appreciate you know the
00:26:21
more that obvious child is missing she's been missing for some time and in most people's minds you know
00:26:26
they're be fronted they'd be fraught they'd want to do everything they could
00:26:29
to find the person you know they'd be anxious crying to be waves of different
00:26:34
emotion anxiety anger fear not knowing what's going on and yet this is a man
00:26:39
that just wants to have fun with the cops so Henry thought he was a filibuster he
00:26:46
thought that he was doing everything right in order to obfuscate what the officers were asking he didn't think for
00:26:52
one minute those officers any form of evidence to link him to The Disappearance of Cassandra
00:26:59
cops have been busy investigating steiger's life they've discovered he owns a large
00:27:05
trailer for storing hot air balloon equipment it's parked at business associates
00:27:11
Shelby Johnson's property on the outskirts of Pensacola in this investigation things have developed and
00:27:18
I've learned more about you and about this whole situation so two days ago Mr
00:27:29
and he said that you had a trailer on his property that had the balloon stuff in it
00:27:35
is that true that you have a trainer over there at his property that has your ballooning stuff in it
00:27:41
how long has it been parked there I don't know um he told me about mine where was it parked before that
00:27:58
um it was at my house when they mentioned Shelby and the trailer all of a sudden you notice Henry
00:28:08
touches his face he also has this blinking that suddenly starts to happen so there were a lot of non-verbal cues
00:28:17
that he was giving at that time during their their part of the questioning that were indicative of discomfort not
00:28:25
wanting to be there up until that point he's very animated he sits forward he's waving his arms
00:28:33
around he gesticulates you know he's very very animated but as soon as they start talking about the trailer he
00:28:40
withdraws he becomes a lot more quiet and he's now at the point where he's
00:28:45
thinking about how do I control the situation now detective Alverson has been playing with
00:28:52
Steiger all along building him up feeding his ego now she will start to break him down fact by fact
00:29:02
so one of the things officers are trained to do is a thing called staged disclosure what they do is they drip
00:29:09
feed things and introduce them into the interview and that's done in this particular interview to Great effects
00:29:17
trailer and took some pictures of it is that is that it is that your trailer you know we're aware the fact you've got
00:29:26
this trailer but then they every few minutes introduced a little bit more evidence
00:29:30
I was back here trying to get the tag number off the back back here and I detected it an odor
00:29:39
an odor that I recognized very well for doing this job I use analogy of someone juggling balls
00:29:46
every time they give starter a bit more information they're saying right now
00:29:50
juggle that now juggle that decomposition from human body okay so we trailer out and we open up the door
00:30:07
has been found under I guess this is your basket for your hot air balloons so we pulled it out
00:30:17
these containers were here do you recognize these containers at this time the odor decomposition very
00:30:26
strong there was the smell of death and we found this and we found that and then we
00:30:34
located this this container here do you recognize this container and ultimately we've discovered the body
00:30:47
that that's I'm trying to figure that out how in this Barrel sealed in your balloon train
00:30:59
part the Shelby's property I'm trying to figure out how and of all that can happen
00:31:08
So eventually what happens is his brain goes into critical cognitive overload so
00:31:14
it can no longer juggle the balls and then what tends to happen is the person just effectively drops the balls and
00:31:21
that's when confessions come something happened when the female detective moves in close
00:31:36
to him that's a specific move that interrogator makes to close the space okay now we're friends we're close and
00:31:44
now we're closer and when I get close to I'm going to touch you maybe because
00:31:47
that's going to humanize you all right that touch is going to disarm you and
00:31:51
make you feel like I like you I'm your friend uh it's it's a uh it's an
00:31:56
intimate move on a part of an interrogator it's often will break the dam and he'll just give it up at that
00:32:03
point I don't think it was a planned on purpose because you love little Evelyn
00:32:10
and I don't think you would do anything to harm Evelyn or harm Ellen's mother of
00:32:18
course not well it is a story that uh I don't think anyone would believe and that's my problem
00:32:38
even at this point he now knows that he is caught they have his trailer they have his keys that open the trailer and
00:32:47
they have Cassandra's body in the barrel in the trailer and he's like it's an
00:32:51
unbelievable story that nobody else will believe I can't take responsibility
00:32:58
that's who he is to his call it's everybody else's fault despite being confronted by irrefutable
00:33:04
evidence that he murdered Cassandra Robinson Steiger is in no mood to admit it detective Alverson has conducted a
00:33:13
clever non-confrontational interview that's worked very well to this point but to get a confession from Steiger she
00:33:21
will need to penetrate the entrenched narcissism of a remorseless killer coming up can detective Alverson get a
00:33:32
confession he's so arrogant and he believes that he can control the direction of that
00:33:42
interview and Steiger faces the horror of what he's done [Music] the police interrogation of Henry
00:33:59
Steiger Over The Disappearance of his on off girlfriend Cassandra Robinson has been a high-stakes game of psychology
00:34:07
each side careful not to give too much away finally detective Alverson has played
00:34:14
her trump card she revealed that they found Cassandra's decomposing body in a barrel in
00:34:21
steiger's trailer her hope is to overwhelm Steiger with a chain of shocking evidence that would
00:34:28
lure him into a confession is it your trailer yes are these your containers yes so now we're building on
00:34:35
these Admissions and once you get them into the yes mode and in fact oh is that Cassandra's body
00:34:42
up yes and you put it there didn't you Henry yes that's your goal you want the
00:34:47
confession but so far Steiger hasn't surrendered and he isn't done playing games
00:34:57
it is a story that I don't think anyone would believe that's my problem well I would like to
00:35:07
hear it it's not a matter of something that I have any kind of confidence that anybody
00:35:13
would um would really understand this is this is a heavy heavy load for you to be having to deal with I can
00:35:24
imagine what you want your piece with with what occurred I I understand it I'm
00:35:33
not not I'm not happy about it but I understand it I don't think I can get
00:35:38
anyone else to understand it so I haven't I haven't explained it to anyone
00:35:43
I haven't shared it with anyone so I guess this is the part where I need an assistant to help me decide what to
00:35:54
say and what not to say I mean I I can't help you and I can't help just tell your story if I don't know it
00:36:03
and I probably need assistance in presenting us professional assistance in presenting that story
00:36:16
he needs and he decides to stop to and to be honest I'm quite surprised that he didn't ask for legal
00:36:23
representation earlier but I think that that's part of his arrogance he believes
00:36:28
that he can control the direction of that interview he believed he was more intelligent he believed that he had the
00:36:34
brains to overcome the evidence the detectives all these factors that were going to point at him and at this point
00:36:42
he realizes he's not and he does need help before Steiger shuts the door completely
00:36:49
detective Alverson makes a final move she tries to connect him emotionally with the brutality of what he's done
00:36:58
[Music] by showing him a picture of Cassandra's remains what she looks like after
00:37:09
spending an extended period of time in this Barrel in a trailer in the heat is definitely to gauge Henry's response see
00:37:21
what how does it affect him is this something that's going to make him feel like he needs to talk to her he needs to
00:37:28
confess like what's good what's it going to do what's interesting to me is that Henry
00:37:33
actually just stared at it and then lean forward and had a really good look at the picture which I thought was very
00:37:41
telling they've got the evidence they've got enough to convict him there's no
00:37:46
question about it but everybody listen you do an interrogation to get a confession that's your goal that's the
00:37:51
end game but will it be enough to get Steiger to confess I want to believe that you're
00:38:00
I want to believe you're a good person and if you're going to be you know
00:38:06
you're you're a good dad that's what I was believing thank you that you're not leaving me any other
00:38:16
choice but to believe this is a bad thing and a monster did that um well you think I need the opportunity to
00:38:31
explain to you with professional assistance I understand hi I don't know if I'll stay again
00:38:47
unless you come and let me come over here that I wish you the best thank you don't pray for Evelyn and pray
00:38:54
for you thank you praying for Cassandra and Cassandra's family okay thank you everyone
00:39:10
and those candles are lit and she blows them out tell her to make a wish I hope her soul wishes and every year
00:39:19
that her mom was here I think that he that's definitely an indication to Henry what he actually
00:39:27
thinks of Henry um that he feels like Henry's ripped the mother of Evelyn away and that's
00:39:34
what the perception of so this nice guy game that they were playing the whole time was really their job
00:39:43
with Steiger in jail and going nowhere the cops spend another two weeks Gathering evidence
00:39:50
an autopsy report concluded that Cassandra had been murdered but because of the decomposition of her body the
00:39:57
manner in which she was killed could not be determined nevertheless on July 27th of 2018 Henry
00:40:07
Steiger was charged with the second-degree murder of Sandra Robinson they obviously charged Henry with
00:40:16
second-degree murder in this investigation because those were the elements of the crime that they could
00:40:20
prove possibly one of the elements of first-degree murder the premeditated part was absent in the evidence that
00:40:28
they had available at the time Steiger pled not guilty determined to have his day in court here he would
00:40:36
finally explain what happened to Cassandra he stated that she died at her own hand
00:40:42
by way of a shopping bag suggesting that she's committed suicide or it was an accident he's suffocating
00:40:50
herself accidentally on purpose just just more ridiculous grasping at straws but when you're desperate you'll say or
00:40:59
do anything the prosecution presented a very different story it was based on forensic evidence and
00:41:07
the extraordinary testimony of steiger's Junior business partner Julian major confessed to helping
00:41:14
Steiger conceal Cassandra's body Steiger told him that after an argument Cassandra decided to leave with their
00:41:22
daughter he had then started to strangle her Sandra was unable to fight back because she was holding and protecting
00:41:32
their child [Music] he was found guilty and he was sentenced to life imprisonment
00:41:40
he did appeal against both these sentences and failed in his Appeals [Music] guys like Henry it's all about them
00:41:52
grave telling everybody they're innocent they didn't commit this crime Etc
00:41:56
because Henry wants it his way all the time [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you [Music]
