The Murder of January Lapuz

Ep. 134

In 2012, a beloved community figure was killed in her own home in an extremely violent attack. It would take a while to learn what happened to her and who was responsible, but the immense loss of her absence was felt immediately by all who knew her - or knew of her.


"Hi. My name is January. I know it's a cold month, but I make it hot!"
