After Thursday's fire that burned down the Italian restaurant Nick's at Gulf Shores, the community really reached out to Nick and Cathy Cascario with offers of a place to live and a place to re-open their business according to restaurant manager Mike Loria. But, News Five has learned the people the community offered it's charity too are not who they say they are.
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.

Well heres the real deal....He wasnt on his way to Atlanta at all, They went to Clover S.C.  218 Richland St. to be exact. to visit family , His grandsons name is Nick Cascario in Clover S.C....hmmm wonder where the alias came from?  What comes around goes around

Wow! As the world turns! This could get interesting. I know a guy who’s got a sister and her husbands aunts boyfriend has a brother with a business in Gulf shores with video cameras. I wonder if anything was caught on tape?!
