Car sought for clues to woman's Florida disappearance


Story Highlights• Stepha Henry, 22, went missing three weeks ago in Sunrise, Florida
• Police are searching for a missing car they believe she was in
• Her parents believe she is being held against her will

 
MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Police in South Florida are searching hundreds of canals and a huge area of wetlands for a car that could provide vital clues in the case of a young woman who vanished three weeks ago.

Stepha Henry, 22, disappeared after going to a party at a nightclub in Sunrise, Florida.

Police said they have no suspects. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Henry's parents -- Steve and Sylvia -- have moved to Florida temporarily from New York to try to draw more public attention to her disappearance.

Henry and her teenage sister were visiting an aunt in South Florida over Memorial Day weekend. On the evening Henry disappeared they had been to a barbecue with friends.

Her aunt said the young woman left her apartment about 1 a.m. on May 29 to go to a club called Peppers Cafe. The aunt said she saw her get into a car driven by a family acquaintance.

There is video of Henry at the club, where a promotional video was being taped that night.

The man who took her to the club said that he left alone and that Henry was still there with people he did not know. Someone -- maybe Henry -- checked her cell phone around 4 a.m., police say.

That is where the mystery of the car comes in.

Searching for dark Acura
Police say the family acquaintance, whose name has not been released, told them he had borrowed the vehicle -- a dark late-model Acura Integra -- but it cannot be found. Police have no details about the tag or year it was made.

One of the pilots involved in the aerial search for the car said it's a frustrating task.

Miami-Dade Police Lt. Cliff Nelson told CNN that "there are pockets of wild areas and those areas. If someone were to get into the middle of them, no one might find anything in there for months."

Miami-Dade Police Commander Linda O'Brien indicated there are few leads.

"It is totally uncharacteristic from what we've learned about Stepha Henry for her to go missing like this," she said.

Henry's parents said their daughter probably is being held against her will, because she'd never disappear on her own. They've continued to call her cell phone hoping for a response.

All they hear is: "Sorry, that mailbox is full. Please call again later."

Her father, Steve Henry, said, "Right now I don't even want to think the worst. All I want to know and all I'm praying for is that my daughter is still alive."

Stepha Henry's family said vital time was lost after her disappearance.

Her aunt, Carletha Clarke, told the Trinidad Guardian newspaper that police did not contact her until June 6, more than a week after the disappearance.

"I'm very disappointed, because being so long, anything could have happened."

Henry is an honors graduate in criminal justice and was planning to go to law school next year.

Her parents said she has always been fascinated by crime.

"Every night she looks at Court TV and she always likes to look at forensic cases," said her father.

If someone is holding her, he has this appeal: "Please let my daughter go, because we need her at home."

What's your thoughts LC ??




Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride..

My God that's a long time for here to be missing and the police weren't looking for her at all. ??? Just seems strange.

Suspect in missing woman's death had stormy past
The man police say killed an aspiring attorney had a troubled past with an ex who is the mother of his child, public records show.

Posted on Thu, Jan. 17, 2008



MIAMI-DADE POLICE
Kendrick Lincoln Williams, 32, was arrested and charged with the murder of Stepha Henry.




The East Coast drifter accused of killing an aspiring attorney had a turbulent past with another woman, courts records show.

The woman: an ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child.

One day after Miami-Dade and New York police arrested Kendrick Williams on charges of the second-degree murder of Stepha Henry, he appeared Wednesday before a judge in a Manhattan Criminal Court -- a necessary move before police try to extradite him to Miami-Dade County.

Williams, 32, has a hearing scheduled on Feb. 15, The New York Post reported Wednesday.

Police charged Williams, a Virgin Islands native, with second-degree murder in the case of Henry, a Trinidad native who went missing during Memorial Day weekend after she went to a Sunrise nightclub. He also faces a count of evidence tampering.

Henry's disappearance generated national attention from family and friends who were adamant that the recent honors graduate wasn't a runaway but a victim.

PROBE LAUNCHED

Miami-Dade investigators kept an eye on Williams for months as they gathered evidence. But it wasn't until September, the same month Henry would have turned 23, that police got an important lead: an Acura Integra found in South Florida.

Forensic tests revealed a large amount of Henry's blood in the car. The volume pointed to a homicide, police said.

Police say the two had chatted at a barbecue on May 28. At 1 a.m. on May 29, Williams picked up Henry in an Integra to go to the Sunrise club, Peppers Café.

Investigators said Williams bought the car in New York and drove it to Florida.

Before Henry's disappearance, police say Williams, a one-time Hallandale Beach resident, had problems with an ex-girlfriend, Kamesha Roye. The two have a son and once lived together in New York, records show.

According to an affidavit filed in the Broward courthouse, Roye told police in May 2005 that Williams had called her at her Miramar home at least 70 times. She changed her home phone number twice and told Williams not to visit.

On May 11, 2005, he did.

Police say Williams tore open the back patio door screen to Roye's home. He then pried open a sliding glass door, setting off a silent panic alarm. Williams entered Roye's bedroom. She told him to leave. He refused.

The two argued until police showed up. When they did, Williams fled through the back door. Police told him to stop, but he kept running.

Roye was in fear of her ex-boyfriend and wanted to prosecute, according to the affidavit.

Roye filed a request for a restraining order a month later, but the complaint was dismissed, records show.

Police wouldn't find Williams until a year later -- in Brooklyn. New York police arrested Williams on a burglary charge and later extradited him to Broward County.

The initial charge was later changed to trespassing. Williams was never convicted, but he was required to pay at least $26 in court fees, records show.

One relative of Henry said he had never heard of Williams before the Tuesday arrest.

''I don't know him,'' said cousin Ano Clarke, 25, who lives in Northeast Miami-Dade. ``I never heard of him until this incident.''

'HOMELESS' NICKNAME

But others knew Williams. His nickname among Brooklyn auto shops dealers: ``Homeless.''

''He had no home. He was all over the place,'' said Sol Antone, owner of the Clifton Auto Body shop in East Flatbush, a Brooklyn neighborhood where many Caribbean immigrants live.

Police picked up Williams while he was asleep in his car at a pier in Brooklyn.

Williams was known for other reasons, said Antone.

Over the summer, he acquired a reputation for wanting to get rid of his dark Acura.

''The rumor going around is that he wanted to sell the car,'' Antone said. ``He wanted to sell it in a hurry. People have an idea when you want to get rid of something. Nobody wanted to buy it.''

Police later found the car in South Florida.
