![]() She told them she wanted a career in the security industry.įBI Special Agent Grant Ashley says the investigation into this case has led him to believe that everything Heather did (from the moment she applied for the job to the robbery) was planned in advance for the sole purpose of committing the crime. She applied for the job with Loomis in August 1993, approximately two months before the robbery. Then, inexplicably, she quit her job and later surfaced in Las Vegas seeking a new one. Later that year, she became a nurse’s assistant at San Francisco's California Pacific Medical Center. A coworker said she was a great worker who had "amazing" empathy with her patients. In 1991, after obtaining a nursing certificate, Heather was hired as a nursing assistant at an AIDS hospice. She later attended City College, planning to build a career in medicine. In 1988, when she was sixteen, she moved to San Francisco, California, to live with her mother. Her parents divorced when she was a child. She was of Seneca Indian descent and grew up in Buffalo, New York. No one suspected that Heather had the inclination or the audacity to commit such a brazen crime. Authorities hope that someone can help them finally track her down. According to the FBI, it is one of the largest armored car robberies in which the perpetrator has not been brought to justice. She not only got away with the money but has managed to elude capture for years. Heather appears to have pulled off "the perfect crime".

Scott also jokingly suggested that she might have taken the van. At first, they assumed she had either gotten lost, been struck in traffic, or been in an accident. But when Scott and Steve exited the casino, they did not see Heather or the van anywhere. They agreed to meet her there at 10:15am. The standard procedure called for Heather to move the van there to pick up her partners when their job inside was finished. The final ATM that the guards serviced was near the side entrance of the casino. Scott carried the money while he and Steve entered the casino to refill the five ATMs inside. At 9:20am, Heather drove to the back portion of the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino and dropped her partners off. That day, the armored van was loaded with over $3 million (in $100 and $20 bills) in preparation for a busy weekend. She and her two partners, Scott Stewart and Steve Marshall, were responsible for making the rounds of several casinos, replenishing their automatic teller machines (ATMs) with cash.
