The city’s latest domestic homicide may be behind a spike in calls to the Emergency Women’s Shelter Helpline.

The body of 20-year-old Lacey Jones-McKnight was found in car along Country Hills Boulevard Thursday night.

Kristopher Guenther is charged with second degree murder in the death of his ex-fiancée.

The executive director of the shelter tells The Calgary Herald calls over the weekend, including those about stalking, were up.

She says there is a strong correlation between stalking and the risk of death, and it’s important for anyone who feels harassed or threatened to reach out for help.

The Family Violence Helpline is open 24 hours a day at 403-234-SAFE (7233).
