  • Summary

  • Welcome back to Scream and Sugar, Your True Crime Coffee Hour, where we blend the darker side of humanity with a little something sweet. Today, we're diving into the tragic and shocking murder of Mia Zapata, a story that rocked the 90s grunge scene to its core.
    Mia Zapata was the electrifying lead singer of The Gits, a punk band emerging from Seattle's vibrant music scene. Known for her raw, powerful voice and magnetic stage presence, Mia was a rising star whose life was brutally cut short. On the night of July 7, 1993, after spending the evening with friends, Mia was found deceased - a senseless act of violence that left her community in shock and mourning.
    For over a decade, her murder remained unsolved, a cold case that haunted the Seattle and Mia's loved ones. The breakthrough came in 2003, thanks to advances in DNA technology.
    In this episode, we'll explore the details of that fateful night, the tireless efforts to solve the case, and the legacy Mia Zapata left behind. So, hang with us as we sip on coffee from coffee company Kona Coffee, and join us as we unravel the mystery and tragedy of a life taken too soon.


    Lyrics from "Sign of the Crab" sample, written by Mia Zapata and performed by The Gits
    "Never ceases to amaze me the things you try to pull
    Anything to get me in and then get me killed
    Go ahead and slice me up, spread me all across this town
    Cause you know you're the one that won't be found"
