She was two days from walking into that courtroom.

Dawn Pasela wasn't a random victim. She was the office manager of a federal mortgage fraud task force — handling evidence, organizing discovery, working alongside FBI agents and federal prosecutors every single day.

Then she started seeing what was really happening inside that office.
Fabricated cases. Destroyed computers. A prosecutor sleeping with the government's star witness. Exculpatory evidence buried under 45,000 pages of paperwork. Witnesses threatened. Careers destroyed.

Dawn made a choice. She was going to testify. She was going to blow it wide open.

She never made it to court.

Found dead in her Parma, Ohio apartment — April 25, 2012. Window wide open. Thermostat at 85 degrees. No vomit. No cups. Food still on the stove. Three cell phones at the scene. None collected. Her computer? Gone.
Parma Police called it accidental. No canvas. No security footage pulled. No detectives called. Six officers responded to a welfare check in under a minute and walked away like there was nothing to see.

The prosecutor who had been threatening her announced the cause of death before the autopsy was even finished.

Tony Viola joins me for the full story. We cover everything — the task force, the botched undercover operation, the prosecutorial misconduct, the crime scene that doesn't add up, and the new developments happening right now including the Yale Law School ruling and the missing tapes that multiple court orders have failed to produce.

New to this case? We get you fully up to speed. Been following from the beginning? There are things in this video you haven't heard yet.

I'm Scott Gardner. Former cop. Homicide detective. Chief of Police. I know what a real death investigation looks like.

This wasn't one.

Be loud. Be heard. Shake the system until the truth falls out.
