Crime, Wine & Chaos

Episode 223 - The Murder of Joanne Witt & The Disappearance of Tanya Rider

Amber Clifton | Naomi Lackaff Season 5 Episode 223

This week, Naomi covers the actions of two teens that some call ‘The Romeo and Juliet Killers’, but their story doesn’t end in suicide – it ends in murder.

Then Amber tells the story of the disappearance of Tanya Rider, who went missing while traveling home from her job in Bellevue, Washington.

Amber was drinking Leap Year, a red blend from California.
