Joyce Chiang // 570

from Going West: True Crime · host Dark West Productions

In January of 1999, a 28-year-old immigration attorney headed to Starbucks in Washington DC woman after seeing a movie with a friend. But when she didn’t return home that night, her brother reported her missing - a report which was immediately elevated to the FBI due to the nature of her work. Although her body would be found, years of speculation followed, which included government conspiracies, and connections to a murder with a victim who had an eerily similar background. This is the murder of Joyce Chiang. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
