We Get to Hear From the Missing Victim Herself! #truecrime #CrimeJunkie #missing | Forensic Files

Who would you look to for answers if someone you know and love vanished? Usually when someone goes missing,
investigators and loved ones are left to talk to neighbors and friends, people in
the area, some who know the individuals well and some who don't. But when Dawn Mazino vanished in the summer of 1989,
investigators and loved ones got to learn directly from Dawn. There was no note, no sign of a struggle, but one
thing was left behind. Dawn's Diary. And in it, she wrote about two love triangles, explosive secrets, maybe even
some clues. And her last entry depicted a complicated situation that she literally described as hell. And then
she was gone. For decades, no one's been able to figure out what happened. But that diary might be the key to solving
the case. And we were able to obtain it from Dawn's sister as we explored what happened to Dawn and what led to her
disappearance. Now it's your turn to read between the lines.
