[theme music playing]

[man] The thing
inside of me, it's like...

the appetite.

It's like a wolf that's...

feeling the hunger.

I'm shaking.
Like, this is my dad.

My dad who does everything in
his power to take care of us.

[man]
Joanne Bernard and her family
are searching for her father,

68-year-old Roosevelt Bernard,
who went missing shortly before

2 PM yesterday afternoon.

She claims her pregnant sister,
22-year-old Martine, is

also missing.

Now police say the prime
suspect in both disappearances

is Cassandritz Blanc,
Martine's husband.

Right off the bat, one of
the first things he tells us is

that he's setting up the stage
for his two victims having some

animosity between them,
that his wife and her father

were somehow at odds.

So he's laying the groundwork
for the rest of the story that

he's about to narrate.

He thinks he's really smart,
and he thinks he's got it all

figured out
and all under control.

Mm-hmm.

Upon being told that they found
the body of his father-in-law,

the lack of reaction,
the lack of surprise,

he maintains this posture,
leaning back like not a care in

the world, hearing what
should be devastating news,

and it's not devastating
to him at all.

[woman] A woman's body
found in Fort Lauderdale

has been identified as
Martine Bernard.

She was pregnant
and had been reported missing.

Her husband is
in police custody.

He's also a suspect in
the death of her father.

The incredible part at this
point is seeing how confident

he is in this lie
and these incredulous stories

that he's telling.

And he's like, I'm gonna
get away with it.

[Nicole] All of a sudden,
he's changing his story.

"I was trying to protect her,"
but she supposedly

killed her dad.

He's now placing blame
on his wife,

which is typical of psychopaths.

They fail to take
responsibility

for anything in their life.

[Nicole] He's so focused
on having these cookies.

We know from neuroimaging
and clinical research in

psychopathy is that some
psychopaths can become

so myopically focused on
what's right in front of them,

they sort of have this deficit
in their information processing

system because they're
so overwhelmed with all

the information that they need
to now process to make up a lie

or continue on their path
of deception.

An innocent person would
never ask, while their wife

and father-in-law were just
found dead, hypothetically,

if there are any circumstances

where someone could get off
on a murder charge.

There are psychopaths
that could be lawyers

or politicians or salespeople.

They can fake it well enough
that they can relatively

make it in the world --
he is not a good psychopath.

He thinks he's got control
of the situation.

He thinks his lies
are believable.

He doesn't even understand that
his psychopathic tendencies are

just shining straight
through at this point.

His concerns are all about
himself, about poor me,

what's gonna happen
to me now?

I mean, this shows you how
callous he is and how

egotistical and self-centered --
it's all about him.

It has nothing to do
with guilt, remorse.

He's shifting this narrative
now to paint himself

in sort of like a victim light.

His wife did something to him
and that caused him

to harm her.

He's trying to act like someone
that's sad, that's crying.

I don't even think there's any
tears coming down his face,

but he's trying to project what
he thinks is an image of

someone that's sad and upset.

A single bullet to the brain
is a very deliberate act.

It's not reflective of
intense emotions.

It's not disorganized,
it's execution-style.

So his statement that he didn't
mean it or he didn't intend to

do this is really not born
out of his actual actions.

At that moment, when she rolls
her eyes, he sees himself in

the mirror for who he is,
as this unimportant,

unlovable,
irrelevant individual

and that's something
he cannot tolerate.

Deep down inside,
he does not have

a whole lot of respect
for women,

doesn't like when women
around him don't do what

he wants them to do.

And ultimately,
that he's able to

objectify them
and get rid of them.

They're as disposable
as a piece of Kleenex.

I think when detectives
confront him or tell him,

"You know you killed
your son, right?"

He, matter-of-fact,
says, "Yes."

Like, he knew,
but he didn't care.

And I think that's because
other humans, you know,

are only there to
serve their needs.

To Blanc,
it's just another object.

His complete callousness around
the fact that not only did

he kill his wife, but he killed
his unborn child is remarkable.

And my first thought is that
he was getting rid

of the competition.

He knew that, within months,
his wife would give birth,

and suddenly, her focus
would completely change.

The attention would no longer
be on him, and it would be all

about his son
and not about him.

Even the way he kind of
playacts how he had to lay

the garbage container down
and slide the body in

is also just...

bone-chilling in terms
of how cold it is.

I mean, we cannot
put ourselves in his shoes.

That's an impossible thing for
any of us to empathize with,

because it's beyond
our capacity to do so.

The callousness involved
in killing his wife,

who was pregnant, while she's
sleeping in bed next to him,

then to kill her father just as
a way to try to pawn off

the responsibility for
the murder is just so callous.

It shows that he has no remorse
or empathy whatsoever.

One's heart races
for different reasons, right?

I mean, your heart can race out
of anxiety and fear, but it can

also race
because of excitement.

There's something very
empowering about making

the decision to kill somebody,
pointing a gun at someone's

head, and then
pulling the trigger.
