FAST FACTS:

• Cassandra Henry arrested in Claremont, California
• Henry accused of robbing elderly women across Mid-South
• Authorities also arrested Corry Henry, but searching for Tiffany Upkins

(Memphis 4/8/10) After more than a year terrorizing and robbing elderly women across the Mid-South, Cassandra Henry is behind bars.

Henry has been on the run since bonding out of jail in December. Since then, she took her crimes across country until police in Claremont, California arrested Henry early Thursday morning. Henry's crime spree tore through Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky and California. The entire time, one U.S. Marshal in Memphis was tracking her.

Authorities say Henry's victims are elderly women who sometimes were in nursing homes. Often dressed as a nurse, Henry earned their trust, talked her way inside their homes and robbed them blind. She stole their cash and credits cards and spent it all. Sometimes, she hurt her elderly victims. Authorities feared the violence would escalate.

"Only God knows that this lady is dangerous and she's going to harm one of these elderly people," says Deputy Bailey Phillips with the US Marshals Service who spent months tracking Henry down.

Phillips says after months on the run, Henry grew arrogant. At one point, she called his cell phone to taunt him.

Quoting the phone conversation, Phillips says Henry told him, "You will never catch me. I'm too smart. You might as well give it up."

But early Thursday morning, Henry's criminal life unraveled, thanks to one dumb move. Henry never ditched her car and police tracked her tags. While in California, she attacked and robbed three women -- including an 89 year-old.

It's not just her victims she hurt. Phillips says her own mother is distraught because authorities learned Henry is pregnant.

"She had no clue that her daughter was three months pregnant," says Phillips. "She knew what she was doing and she stated that she had begged her to stop doing it and turn herself in."

Police in California also arrested her husband, Corry Henry. Phillips says he's a career criminal with an outstanding federal warrant. Authorities are still looking for friend and accomplice, Tiffany Upkins. Upkins is from Memphis, but could be anywhere. If you know where Upkins may be hiding, call the U.S. Marshals Service.
