Twenty years ago last month, a 23-year-old mentally challenged woman from Bryn Mawr, Pa. disappeared from her job. Her family and Montgomery County investigators vow to keep her memory alive and the pressure on the one man who they insist can bring this matter to a conclusion.
It is presumed that Dawn Mozino is dead and that then Bryn Mawr Hospital co-worker Thomas Hawkins killed her. He had been on parole following a Reading murder in 1980 and is now on death row for another murder committed two weeks after Mozino went missing.
Her sister, Cathy Mozino-Miesen, wants people to remember Dawn as a good person and that bad things often happen to good people:
"This sort of tragedy can happen to anyone, anywhere, whether you live on the Main Line or off the Main Line."
The family would like to find Dawn’s remains, to give her a proper burial, and prosecutors have even offered to take the death penalty off the table. But Hawkins insists he had nothing to do with it. Cathy says she’ll never stop hoping, but realizes, at the same time, their desires for justice and closure will likely go unfulfilled.
