Mia Zapata and her band, The Gits, were on the cusp of making it big in the music industry when in a blink of an eye, the dreams, the music, and Mia were gone. Alisha tells Emily the story of Mia Zapata; her life, her music, and her horrendous murder. Later, they are joined by Zoe and Stefanie of Home Alive to discuss the non-profit they created out of necessity and what you can do to protect yourself. And, of course, some palate-cleansing bloopers. For more information, sources and photos, visit the episode blog ( https://www.murderintherain.com/episodes ). Can’t get enough MITR?
