Summary

A Dallas Police Officer shoots and kills an intruder in her apartment after returning home from a 14-hour shift. In the moments immediately following the interaction - the officer realizes she made a terrible mistake. She accidentally entered the home of a 29-year old Accountant on the floor directly above her apartment, and killed him in cold blood.  But things are not quite what they seem, and it appears there may be a deeper vein of prejudice running through the Dallas Police Department than anyone was previously aware.    Visit Invisible Choir on the web:  Patreon - Invisible Choir Premium:  https://www.patreon.com/InvisibleChoir  Website:  https://www.invisiblechoir.com/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/InvisibleChoirPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invisiblechoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/InvisibleChoir Promo:  https://www.murderintherain.com/  All Written, Audio, and Sound Effect sources are available at www.invisiblechoir.com.    ©2019 Reach Freaks, LLC.
