SUNBURY -- It's been four months since two people were gunned down in a city apartment and the only known witness and the victims' family members are frustrated as they anxiously wait for the killer to be brought to justice.

"I'm concerned, but I've got faith the suspect will be charged," Amy Baney-Banks said Wednesday, never referring to suspect Michael Harrell by name. "I hope he is charged."

In a telephone interview, Baney-Banks said she, along with boyfriend David Moore, 25, of Sunbury, and her cousin, Crystal Scholl-Gordon, 24, of Selinsgrove, were in her 226 N. Fourth St., apartment on Jan. 18 when Harrell showed up around midnight.

Baney-Banks said after an argument, Harrell "flipped out" and fatally shot Moore and Scholl-Gordon.

She's convinced she would have been a third victim if she hadn't escaped the apartment that morning, but recalled the grisly slayings in a detached tone.

The 24-year-old said she knows some in the community believe she's somehow involved in the killings, but said she's coping with more difficult issues.

"I had no part in it," Baney-Banks said. "The hardest part has been losing two people at once."

After the killings, she was held for two weeks in Northumberland County Prison on a probation violation. She now leads what she describes as a quiet life in Selinsgrove as she waits for charges to be brought against Harrell, 39, of Sunbury. Homicide charges against Harrell, who's been held in the county prison on a parole violation since the slayings, are expected to be filed any day.

Baney-Banks bluntly describes meeting Harrell last summer and how they occasionally had sex.

She kept the sexual relationship hidden at first from Moore, a former boyfriend who came back into her life about a month before the homicide when he returned to the Valley following a second failed marriage.

Even after learning of the affair, she said, Moore remained on friendly terms with Harrell.

"David was a loving and trusting guy and he hung out with him at his house a few times," Baney Banks said.

She said she never saw Harrell with a weapon, and though he often joked around, he'd also say "hateful things" and call her names.

Harrell sought romantic relationships with all of her friends, but Scholl-Gordon was not interested.

Baney-Banks said both her and Scholl-Gordon's rebuffing of his affections may have set him off the night of the shootings.
