About this episode

The episode explores the unsolved disappearance of Dawn Mozino and the revelations from her personal diary that may hold clues to her fate.

In 1989, a young woman from Pennsylvania with developmental delays disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that has remained unsolved for decades. Early in the investigation, authorities focused on a convicted murderer who had reportedly been seen speaking with her shortly before she vanished, but the case never reached a definitive conclusion. Years later, new attention turned to a personal diary she left behind, revealing secret relationships, emotional conflicts, and details about her private life that investigators had not fully explored at the time. The writings suggested possible hidden connections, including a relationship involving a married man and tensions that may have played a role in the events leading up to her disappearance. Over the years, multiple confessions and theories have emerged, but none have provided the answers her family desperately seeks. Her sister and a civilian criminologist continue pushing for overlooked evidence and unanswered questions to be examined. Decades later, the search for the truth continues, with her loved ones still hoping to uncover what happened and finally bring her home. You can listen and download our episodes for…
