And maybe police took that to mean that they never found Dawn's accomplice.

But what if it means that Dawn's story is true?

That a stranger came into their home that night and committed a random, unthinkable act?

Dawn has never been arrested or charged in relation to this crime.

Is that because she really wasn't involved?

I think I'm the only one who's open to at least asking that question with sincerity.

but hard to believe, strange, and interesting, aren't the same as impossible.

The same way I don't see a motive for Dave, I don't really get what Dawn had to gain, at least not with the information I have.

From the interviews that the sheriff's office did back in the day, everyone who knew the couple well seemed to think that they were really happy and in love.

Dawn did end up receiving that insurance payout in June of 1992, and she went on to remarry in 1996.

Since then, she has lived a pretty unassuming life, building a career and a family.

Now, are there other people who knew a different side of Dawn?

Have opinions changed over the years?

I don't know.

No one who knew her then or now would talk to us on the record.

And we've tried to reach out to Dawn ourselves for comment about the investigation, but she has not responded.

Though, even if she did, I wonder if we would get much.

I say that because of a comment her dad made to the former sheriff back when they gave her the first and only polygraph.

If this episode makes it to anyone who is willing to talk, reach out.

Our reporting doesn't end with this episode.
