The judge in Gerald's case called him quote the most dangerous, remorseless, callous defendant I have seen in my 20
00:00:09
years as a judge, >> which I feel like I can't disagree, but now with Don's case, they're back to
00:00:17
Hawkins. Honestly, never really got off him. And again, I get why, but I also again ask, what if the obvious thing
00:00:28
distracted police from the real thing? What if for all these years people ignored the one clue that Dawn herself
00:00:38
left behind, her diary? In this diary, which she seems to have started just three months before her disappearance,
00:00:46
Dawn doesn't mention Hawkins once, and she certainly doesn't say anything about Gerald Bennett. What Dawn does write
00:00:55
about is cheating on her boyfriend, Dan. From her writings, it seems like Dawn had been getting a little bored in her
00:01:03
relationship with Dan. And somehow while in this unsatisfied state, she meets this guy named Nick Katona.
00:01:12
I don't really know how, but she devotes most of the pages of her diary to venting about her complicated feelings
00:01:19
for Dan and Nick. We actually have a copy of Don's diary, which we're going to put in the fan club app if you want
00:01:26
to see it. But Dawn's sister Kath actually read some parts of her diary aloud for us to share.
