Seeking Justice Announces Toll Free Tip Line and Reiterates $10,000 Reward for Information Leading to the Arrest of a Suspect in the Murder of Dawn Pasela

  • Seeking Justice, airing live Wednesdays at 7 PM EST, tells the story of Dawn Pasela, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances as she was set to testify at Tony Viola’s second criminal trial about misconduct by federal and state prosecutors
  • New tip line -- (580) 8-SJ-TIPS or (580) 875-8477 -- provides the public with an anonymous way to call or text information about Dawn’s murder
  • $10,000 reward follows newly discovered evidence and a 2023 Sheriff investigation that the local police ignored procedures, failed to collect multiple cell phones or any evidence, erred in not investigating Dawn’s missing computer and failed to take any action to reopen the case – even after a directive to do so

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLEVELAND, OHIO – March 28, 2024 – FreeTonyViola.com, jointly with Seeking Justice, Uncovered.com, and JusticeForDawn.com, announced today that it has established an anonymous tip line, (580) 8-SJ-TIPS or (580) 875-8477, so anyone can submit any information about the death of Dawn Pasela or information about any of the key players in this case.  The tip line follows the announcement of a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the murder of Dawn Pasela, who was found dead shortly after her expected testimony about prosecutorial misconduct during the criminal trial of Tony Viola

ABOUT FREETONYVIOLA.COM:  FreeTonyViola.com’s mission is to shine a bright spotlight on the ‘win at all costs’ tactics, prosecutorial overreach and misconduct the United States Department of Justice employs when prosecuting American citizens.  Tony Viola was investigated by the Cuyahoga County Mortgage Fraud Task Force, a multi-jurisdictional task force comprised of state, local and federal agencies, and prosecuted in parallel federal and state cases. He lost the federal case but was exonerated at a subsequent state trial.  The website, originally created to solicit leads for Tony’s investigative team, has evolved into a tool to keep the public informed about critical developments in his case, and to share information that could potentially assist others who have been wrongfully ensnared by our criminal justice system.  For additional information, visit http://www.FreeTonyViola.com, friend us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/tony.viola.9212, or follow us on Twitter @TonyViola.
