Video captured suspect disposing of body, police say

Cassandritz Blanc seemed to follow a detailed plan when Hollywood police say he shot his father-in-law, dumped the corpse in an empty lot and set it on fire.

But what Blanc didn’t know was that a neighbor’s home had video cameras that recorded him disposing of the body, police say.

The horror began on June 9, when Roosevelt Bernard and his wife, Yvose Bernard, were at their home on Washington Street, getting ready for a family gathering.

They were unaware their 20-year-old daughter Martine Bernard, pregnant and expecting a baby in the summer, had been shot and killed five days before. Or, that Blanc, 22, her husband of nine months, would be accused in her slaying.

In the afternoon, Blanc unexpectedly showed up at his in-laws, wanting to get some of his wife’s clothing. Yvose Bernard went to shower and dress for the party, leaving the men alone.

Blanc followed Bernard, 68, into Martine’s old bedroom and shot him in his neck with a revolver. Bernard fell to the floor, struggling to breathe. Unable to look into his father-in-law’s eyes, Blanc also fired the gun into the middle of the older man’s back, an arrest report said.

Blanc left the dead man behind the locked bedroom door. He told his motherin-law that a Hispanic man appeared at the front door and asked to talk with her husband, who left the house.

She noticed Blanc was gloves.

An adult daughter, and she and her wearing black

Joane Bernard, arrived mother prepared to drive to the party, assuming that Bernard would join them there.

Before the women and Blanc left the property, Blanc asked to go back inside the house to fetch food he had brought. Blanc returned the house keys to Yvose Bernard but left the rear door open.

As the women left, Blanc drove off too. The neighbor’s video recorded him returning 10 minutes later and parking at the vacant L-shaped grassy lot on South 29th Avenue. It is between homes and just 80 Roosevelt
