News Five received phones calls and e-mails from as far away as Washington State and as close as Atlanta, Georgia about Cascario.
It seems they are well known, just by another name.
Their real names are Richard and Judy Morrell. According to court documents obtained by News Five, Morrell changed his name to Cascario after leaving California during a Mortgage and Real Estate fraud trial in 1982.
He was convicted of 24 counts of fraud and forgery and was on the run fro almost 12 years until his capture in Tennessee in 1993.
After his release from prison he started a printer cartridge company called Holiday Ink. The Federal Trade Commission called it a scam. A class action lawsuit against the company ended last year with plaintiff's being awarded 14 million dollars. That case is being appealed.
Another interesting note, Cascario and Tommy Lunceford, the owner of the building that burned, are scheduled to be in court next week in a dispute over back rent and eviction.
Our repeated attempts to contact Cascario and ask him about not only his past but the fire were unsuccessful. We were told he is on his way to Atlanta to visit family.
We want to stress that Cascario nor anyone else at this time has been named as a suspect or a person of interest in connection with Thursday's fire.
