Niagara cops make second arrest in Fort Erie double murder | Toronto Sun
Christine Crooks, 18, of Toronto, left, and Juliana Pannunzio, 20, of Windsor were shot to death at a Fort Erie party house.
''Niagara Regional Police detectives have arrested a Scarborough woman in connection with a grisly double murder in Fort Erie last January.
Cops announced Monday afternoon they arrested and charged 29-year-old Heidi Bahler. She is charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder and obstructing justice.''
''After the two women were shot to death, party-goers fled the scene. One called 911 and the pair were discovered by shocked officers.
The case seemed to be going cold and then cops released images of the party in an attempt to identify some of the unknown guests who attended. This was followed by a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrests of the perpetrator.''

So did this apartment full of people watch these two women get shot, and then they all just fled and never said anything? Disgusting!
Well one person apparently called 911 before taking off, gee some people these days seem to have funny ideas about how to have fun at a party, or hanging out at the mall etc. etc. imo.

Here are two separate articles on arrests. A man was arrested last week, this week a woman. I'm on mobile, can't copy and paste.

HUNTER: Heartbroken dad just wants to bury murdered daughter | Toronto Sun
''Ferrol Crooks was worried sick that some day the call would come.
And on Jan. 20, 2021, it came.''
''On the other end of the line was the Peel Region Children’s Aid informing him that his 18-year-old daughter Christine had been murdered. Cops called a week later.
Christine and Juliana Pannunzio, 20, were shot to death at a birthday bash at a notorious Airbnb in Fort Erie and then abandoned. Three people have been arrested in connection with the murders but cops have been mum on motive or any other details''
Even in the finality of death, he has been left hanging. The funeral home will not retrieve the body from the coroner without signatures from both parents.''

Toronto rapper at centre of Fort Erie Airbnb murder case
''Going by the stage name, El’Plaga, real name Christopher Lucas, the rapper comes from the notorious Parma Court neighbourhood in Toronto. Over the past few years, Parma Court has been the scene of numerous shootings which police have identified as gang-related, including a fatal shootout between rival gangs in 2019 that left a 29-year-old dead.
In his song Metro Housing Baby, which has racked up more than 600,000 views on YouTube this year, El’Plaga raps about growing up amid gang violence, and needing to carry a gun for his own protection. He also raps about bringing a gun to a party.''
''In July, police offered a $100,000 reward for information that would help crack the case. Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, the NRP said it would not reveal whether or not someone has claimed the reward.''
''El’Plaga’s record label, Psycho Time Records, did not respond to a request for comment about the charges laid against their artist.
However, Psycho Time did post multiple messages of support to their Instagram account shortly after El’Plaga’s arrest, including a call for him to be released from police custody.''

Niagara Regional Police detectives investigating a double murder are looking to identify the two people not wearing masks in this image from a Jan. 19, 2021 Fort Erie house party.
''Residents said the posh waterfront chalet had long been a problem with rowdy out-of-towners boozing and blasting music until the wee hours. Tragedy was hovering in the shadows.
But what cops en route to the scene did not know and could not have known was that inside the mansion, two young women were dead.''
Scarborough rapper Christopher El Plaga Lucas, 22, and Trevor Barnett, 30, are charged with two counts of first-degree murder while Heidi Bahler, 29, is charged with being an accessory after the fact.
The trio will likely go on trial late this year or in 2024.
What connection — if any — the two victims had to their accused killers remains murky. Media reports suggest neither Crooks nor Pannunzio had any previous relationship with the accused.
In fact, why the two women were at the party is one of the mysteries that will likely be cleared at trial.''
Nothing has emerged as to the wherefores and whys of the murders. Were the two women targeted or were they collateral damage?
“We’ve been without her for over a year now, and it doesn’t get any easier,” stepmom Shellie Pannunzio told the Windsor Star last February.
“There is no point in time where you go, OK, now we’re over the worst. You’re never truly over the worst. The grief is all-consuming some days, and some days you can actually function.
“But it never leaves. Your heart is always hollow.”
She added: “These are not people that our daughter ever associated with in the past. She didn’t know them ahead of time.”
“She doesn’t get parole. She doesn’t get to be dead for one month or two months or five years,” Mulcaster told the Windsor Star. “She’s gone. And she’s been silenced.
She added: “We need the judges to utilize the laws that are there. When do the victim’s rights become important? She died. There’s no more for her. She doesn’t get a life. If they’re convicted, why do they get a life?”
