CALGARY – Police have issued warrants for the arrest of Isaiah Riel Rider, 18, in relation to the second-degree murder of a young Calgary mother.
On Sunday afternoon, officers were called to a home on Ranchlands Bay N.W. for reports of a suspicious death. Once they got there, police discovered the body of a 26-year-old woman who was later identified as Christa Cachene of Calgary. Police said they believe a large party took place at the home on Saturday night and that Cachene was beaten to death early Sunday morning after the party had ended.
Police believe Rider was at the party. They previously said they were looking to speak with Rider in relation to her death, but announced he was a suspect in her murder Friday.
He is also wanted on an unrelated province-wide warrant for assault as well as a Canada-wide warrant for breaching a conditional sentencing order. He is described as aboriginal, just over six feet tall, and 155 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information on Rider’s whereabouts is asked to call 403-266-1234 or the Homicide Unit Tip line at 403-428-8877. Tips can also be left anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers.
A GoFundMe account has been set up by family members of Cachene to help pay for funeral expenses. You can visit the fundraising site here.
