When outgoing and friendly Tawnee Baird met moody and reclusive Victoria Mendoza, the two were an unlikely pair. Despite their different backgrounds thefy were drawn to each other in a very explosive way. To look at their social media pages the two appeared head over heels in love. In fact there were many public professions of love and even a very public youtube apology. Yet, in  the early morning hours of October 18, 2014, Tawnee Baird's life was taken in a violent and jealous rage by someone who professed to love her forever. Someone who couldn't work out her demons or insecurities without destroying someone beautiful. Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine this destructive relationship.
