Roosevelt Bernard, 68, was murdered on June 11, 2018, in Hollywood, Florida, in a case that also claimed his pregnant daughter Martine Bernard. Roosevelt’s burned body was found in a vacant field near his Hollywood home. Martine, about six months pregnant, was reported missing and her body was later recovered from a Waste Management trash container in Fort Lauderdale. Both victims had been shot to death.

Police identified Martine’s husband, Cassandritz Blanc, as the primary suspect. Investigators say Blanc initially gave multiple conflicting accounts before confessing, admitting he shot his wife because he felt disrespected, attempted to dismember her body, then went to Roosevelt’s home, shot him and set his body on fire in the field. Blanc was arrested following the confession and charged in the killings.

This double homicide devastated the Bernard family and the local community. If anyone has information that could clarify the timeline or observed suspicious activity around June 11, 2018, please come forward.
