Pennsylvania Woman Who Helped Boyfriend Hide Evidence in Double Murder Allegedly Attended Memorial for Victims, Violating Bail Conditions
WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA — A 45-year-old woman accused of helping her boyfriend conceal evidence after a double murder stunned local authorities by attending a memorial event for the two victims — a move prosecutors say violated her bail terms and retraumatized their families.
Sandy Perez, who had been released on bail while awaiting trial, is now back in custody after a judge found she intentionally entered a victims’ event where relatives of the slain individuals were present, despite explicit court orders forbidding contact.
Double Murder Linked to Former Co-Workers
The case traces back to a January 2024 double homicide in Williamsport, where 57-year-old Troy Bailey allegedly shot and killed Ronald Dailey, 37, and Alisha Seese, 37, with assistance from 50-year-old Muhammed Davis. All three men and the victims once worked for Lycoming Engines, a manufacturing company in the area.
According to Williamsport police, the killings occurred shortly after Seese — Bailey’s ex-girlfriend — ended their relationship and obtained a protective order against him. Investigators say Bailey ambushed the pair as they left work, forcing them into a white SUV where both were fatally shot.
Authorities later arrested Bailey and Davis, charging them with first- and second-degree murder, kidnapping, and related counts. Perez was charged with tampering with evidence, receiving stolen property, and obstruction, after allegedly disposing of the firearm used in the murders.
Perez Allegedly Attended Victims’ Memorial While on Bail
Perez was granted bail earlier this year with strict conditions, including avoiding any contact with victims’ relatives. But in late September, she appeared at the “National Day of Remembrance” organized by Angel Families Unite, a victims’ support organization in Lycoming County.
The group had invited singers through a local church — and Perez, reportedly performing under that arrangement, showed up wearing her court-ordered electronic ankle monitor labeled “Queen.”
Witnesses said Perez refused to leave immediately when asked, even sitting near a sign displaying the victims’ photos. One of the victims’ sisters, who was scheduled to speak at the event, said Perez complimented her memorial T-shirt, calling it “a good shirt for her brother.”
The court later determined that Perez’s actions were a deliberate violation of bail, leading to her immediate remand to Lycoming County Prison.
Victims’ Families and Community Outrage
In a heartfelt public statement, Angel Families Unite apologized for what they called a “deeply painful and retraumatizing” incident, writing:
“An alleged accomplice, currently released on bail, attended our National Day of Remembrance as a singer, placing themselves in the presence of the family of their alleged victim. … Our safe space was challenged in a way that brings deep sorrow.”
The organization added that the memorial ceremony was delayed until Perez had been escorted off the premises.
Text Messages Show Personal Motive
Beyond the alleged cover-up, prosecutors revealed that Perez had sent hostile messages to victim Alisha Seese prior to the murders.
In one message, she wrote, “Keep my name out your mouth.” Another said, “He [Bailey] has a real woman in me.”
These exchanges, investigators say, show a personal grudge that went beyond mere loyalty to her boyfriend.
Dailey, one of the victims, was remembered as a dedicated security guard who “died tragically in his last heroic act,” while Seese was described by family as someone whose “kindhearted spirit and thoughtful nature were a source of comfort and inspiration.”
As this case continues through Lycoming County court, prosecutors are expected to seek harsher pretrial conditions against Perez while preparing for the murder trial of Troy Bailey and Muhammed Davis.
