NEWMARKET -- A jealous husband tracked down his wife, Julie Crocker, and sportscaster Rick Ralph and confronted them in a Toronto hotel room almost five months before the woman was killed, a jury heard yesterday.

Ralph was testifying at the Superior Court trial of Christopher Little.

He's accused of two counts of first-degree murder in the Feb. 12, 2007, deaths of his estranged wife, Crocker, and Ralph's estranged wife, Paula Menendez.

Crocker, 33, who was dating Ralph after he split up with his wife in the fall of 2006, was found with her throat slashed in the bedroom of her Larkin Ave. home in Markham.

A crumpled photo of Ralph and Crocker embracing during a St. Lucia holiday in December 2006 was found at the foot of the bed.

Menendez, 34, who died from strangulation, was found hanging in the home's garage.

Ralph's BMW, which was also parked in the garage, had the word "SUFFER" etched in large block letters on the roof, court heard.

Little, 38, a salesman, has pleaded not guilty to both murder charges.

Ralph said he and Crocker were socializing and discussing their dissolving marriages and dating initially as friends.

She frequently treated him to free, lavish lunches after they met on a company boat cruise that summer, court heard.

Ralph said he booked a downtown hotel close to his workplace on Oct. 1, 2006.

Later, he escorted Crocker to his hotel room. Ralph hadn't told anyone he had a room, so he was shocked when someone knocked.

"Open the door," Ralph recalled Little as saying.

Ralph testified he wanted to let Little in, but Crocker insisted he shouldn't and that she'd leave.

"Julie, I know you're in there. Rick, I know you're in there," Ralph quoted Little as saying.

Crocker bolted to her car with Little running to catch up to her, court heard.

An outraged Crocker later discovered Little had installed a GPS in her vehicle.

The trial continues today.
