It’s 2012. Dawn Pasela, a trusting and fierce advocate for justice, has just realized the unimaginable — the prosecutors she works for are hiding evidence to keep innocent people imprisoned for mortgage fraud.

She’s threatened to stay silent, but she’s determined to testify against them and do what’s right. She’d never get that chance.Just as Dawn is supposed to testify, she’s found dead in her apartment under suspicious circumstances.

Join us — Dana Poll, Lexi Kakis, and Andrea Cipriano — for our weekly YouTube Live investigative series into the suspicious death of Dawn Pasela, starting Wednesday, February 28th at 7:00pm EST! It’s never too late to uncover the truth.
