I found a new article about the man charged with killing Mia Zapata:

Thank you for the update. I had heard they had caught her killer but knew no other details. Awful!!

As a matter of fact, that case was shown on today's episode. It has definitely been a long time coming but I'm glad he'll finally suffer for what he did.
