Woman, 33, vanishes from Maple Valley
MAPLE VALLEY - A 33-year-old Maple Valley woman just disappeared last week.
Police say Tanya Rider has called no one -- not her husband or her mother.
Rider finished the overnight shift at a Bellevue Fred Meyer store. She left at 9 o'clock Thursday morning. She often called her husband at night and in the morning.
Thursday there was no call.
"I don't know what to think," Tom Rider said. "But even worse would be finding out something has happened, that would be even worse."
Tom's boss, Steve Laffoon, printed up a thousand flyers. He put up the first at a Puyallup hardware store, near a housing project where Tom is now working.
He said he can't imagine his friend's pain.
"I can't. I really don't know," he said. "If anyone thinks they got trouble, they don't."
Tanya's mother, Nancy Loe, says she'll be out searching too.
"All over the areas where she worked, everywhere she went, and scope out any aspect I can," she said.
Tanya was driving a new, 2007, blue Honda Element with a temporary Washington license 923836.
Since he last call to Tom last Wednesday night, there have been no calls on her cell phone.
Tom says he knows in case like this police consider the husband a possible suspect.
"It's always the husband," he said. "That's why I told the police search my place, you don't need a search warrant. Ask me anything you want. All I want to do is find her."
Tom and Tanya's mother both say she had no close friends. They don't know where she might have gone.
Anyone with information is asked to call King County Police.
