Howvever, the front page story reads:

When Rick Ralph left for Halifax last week for his father's funeral, he had
no warning of the tragedies to come.

The FAN 590 sportscaster came home Monday to learn his girlfriend of a few
months, Julie Crocker, 33, was dead. The lifeless body of his estranged
wife Paula Menendez, 34, was found nearby.

Their bodies were strewn apart in Crocker's Markham home, but it's clear
their lives were intertwined.

Ralph and Crocker had been dating for a few months.

Ralph and Menendez had just separated. Crocker had recently separated from
her husband, Chris Little.

"The relationships play an important part in the homicides," said Insp.
Bill Faulkner, head of the York Region police homicide bureau. "There were
complicated relationships."

For Ralph, a first sign of trouble was when Crocker, whom he met at their
workplace, didn't show up at the airport to greet him upon his return.

His BMW was still parked in the garage of her Markham home as officers
scoured the crime scene.

York Regional police discovered Ralph's car, along with Crocker's silver
Volvo parked in the driveway of her home, when they arrived at the Larkin
Ave. house early Monday morning. Officers have since seized both vehicles
as evidence.

A 911 call around 3:30 a.m. led police to the quiet, brick house and
straight to the bodies of the two women. Crocker, a sales executive
described by friends as a "tall, stunning brunette," was found stabbed to
death inside.

Her two young daughters Madison, 4, and Mackenzie, 3, were believed to be
found nearby. Some reports say the girls slept through the slayings.

Menendez, a Toronto physiotherapist, was found dead in the garage. An
autopsy released yesterday said Menendez was strangled and Crocker was
stabbed in the neck.

At first the story began to unfold like a grisly murder-suicide. Quickly,
the plot turned to a double murder. Late Monday afternoon, police arrested
Crocker's estranged husband, the father of her children, in connection with
the homicides.

Little, 35, who works in the fibre optics industry, is charged with two
counts of first-degree murder.
