In this week’s episode of Sip, Spill & Solve, Kiki and Jeannie uncork a chilling Colorado case that has baffled investigators for decades — the murder of Sid Wells, the beloved fiancé of Robert Redford’s daughter.

We delve into the tangled connections between Hollywood, Boulder’s darker side, and the long-time suspect whose trail has gone cold more than once. From strange behavior, family tension, and a sudden disappearance to an FBI manhunt stretching across the years, this is one of those cases where the truth seems close… but never quite in hand.

Kiki & Jeannie bring their signature blend of humor, heart, and deep-dive curiosity as they explore alternate suspects, motivation theories, the evidence found in the apartment, and why this case still haunts true-crime circles today.

This week on Sip, Spill & Solve, Kiki is joined by a very special guest — her daughter Kelsey — for a brand-new format we’re calling Read & React. Kiki reads the entire case live on the mic, and Kelsey reacts in real time… which means chaos, confusion, mocktail commentary, and a LOT of unfiltered moments.

Together they dive into the chilling, bizarre, and little-known case of Sarah Jane Harvey, a quiet woman from Rhyl, Wales whose cupboard hid a horrifying secret for over 20 years. When her son opened the locked space while Sarah was in the hospital, he found a fully mummified woman wrapped in blankets — with a stocking tied around her neck.

Who was the victim?
How did she end up there?
And what did Sarah truly know?

Kiki leads the story while Kelsey responds with genuine “WHAT?!” reactions that will make you feel like you're sitting right there with them.

Also in this episode:
⭐ A sparkling holiday mocktail taste-test (non-Christmas, just vibes)
⭐ The Toilet Paper Bandit — your Dumb Criminal of the Week
⭐ Theories, laughter, shock, and more questions than answers
