Dawn Magyar: 28 Years to Justice Jan 07, 2025

Show notes

On January 27, 1973, 20-year-old Dawn Magyar was abducted from a shopping center parking lot in Owosso, Michigan. She had just finished grocery shopping and was loading her purchases into her borrowed truck when she was forcibly taken.

Her husband reported her missing that evening. The next day, police found the truck in the parking lot with her groceries still inside and her keys scattered on the ground—clear signs of a violent abduction.Despite a massive search involving 4,000 local volunteers, Dawn was not found alive.

On March 4, 1973, two young brothers discovered her body in a wooded area in Saginaw County. She had been raped and shot three times with a .22 caliber gun.

The case went cold for decades. But in 2001, new DNA technology enabled police to identify the killer: Jerald Leroy Wingeart. He was arrested, tried, and convicted of Dawn's murder—28 years after her body was found.

This episode tells the story of Dawn Magyar, the investigation that spanned nearly three decades, and the DNA breakthrough that finally brought her killer to justice.
