CALGARY – The family of Christa Cachene said Friday police have arrested 18-year-old Isaiah Riel Rider in connection to her murder almost two weeks ago.
Cachene’s body was found inside a home in the 0-100 block of Ranchlands Bay N.W. Oct. 11.

Police said they believe a large party took place at the home on Saturday night and that Rider was at the party. Cachene was beaten to death early Sunday morning after the party had ended.
Rider had been wanted on a province-wide warrant for assault as well as a Canada-wide warrant for breaching a conditional sentencing order.
The RCMP came upon Rider in Maskwacis (formerly known as Hobbema) during an unrelated investigation. He will be transferred to Calgary Friday.
A GoFundMe account has been set up by family of Cachene to help pay for funeral expenses. You can visit the fundraising site here.
