Today we cover a case that rocked Seattle’s early ’90s punk scene: the life and murder of Mia Zapata, lead singer of the Gits. Born August 25, 1965, in Louisville, Mia grew up in privilege but found her true voice in punk, blues and jazz. In 1989 she co‑founded the Gits at Antioch College; by 1993 they’d earned an Atlantic Records showcase. On July 7, 1993, after leaving the Comet Tavern around 2 a.m., Mia never made it home. Her body was found hours later - brutally beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled with her own sweatshirt - just blocks from safety. Her death stunned friends, fans and a city on the brink of global fame...

Today, Holly Ann from Crime With Holly joins Tab to explore the case of Amanda “Mandy” Stavik (b. April 16, 1971), who vanished during a Thanksgiving run in Acme, WA, on November 24, 1989, her German Shepherd returned home alone that evening. Three days later, her body was recovered in the South Fork of the Nooksack River, and the autopsy ruled her death a homicide by sexual assault and drowning. Semen evidence preserved in 1989 went unmatched until familial-DNA methods in the early 2010s identified Timothy Forrest Bass as a suspect. In December 2017, covertly collected DNA from Bass’s discarded soda can confirmed the match. He was arrested on December 13, 2017, convicted on May 24, 2019, and sentenced to 27 years...

Christian Andreacchio, a 21-year-old from Meridian, Mississippi, was found dead under highly suspicious circumstances. Though ruled a suicide, glaring inconsistencies raise serious questions: gunshot residue on both Whitley Goodman and Dylan Swearingen, a wiped-clean weapon, altered body positioning, and conflicting timelines. Christian had just left his job early after concerning calls about Whitley’s behavior. Despite mounting evidence, including a second investigation recommending manslaughter charges, a grand jury declined to indict - allegedly without seeing key evidence...

She co-authored the young adult novel Amber House in 2012 and its sequel Neverwas in 2014.
