Summary

The podcast explores the baffling 1989 disappearance of Dawn Mozino. Police initially focused on a convicted serial killer, Thomas Hawkins Jr., who knew Dawn, but he vehemently denied involvement. Decades later, Dawn's personal diary uncovered two secret love triangles, one involving an on-again, off-again boyfriend, Nick Katona, and another involving her best friend's married lover, Hampton. A new detective and a civilian criminologist are now re-investigating these previously unexplored leads, including a remote viewer's tip about a park, as Dawn's family desperately seeks closure after 36 years.

Episode description

Police thought they solved Dawn Mozino’s 1989 disappearance when they found out she knew a convicted serial killer. But in her diary, Dawn wrote of not one, but two love triangles that might actually lead police to different suspects.
