Dark Dialogue is an investigative true crime podcast that breaks down complex cases through evidence, timelines, and critical analysis.
Hosted by John and Angela, each episode goes beyond the headlines to examine what actually happened—exploring forensic details, investigative decisions, and the questions that remain unanswered.
As John walks through the case, Angela challenges assumptions, asks the questions listeners are thinking, and pushes the conversation deeper—turning each episode into a detailed, real-time examination of the facts.
From cold cases and controversial investigations to courtroom battles and overlooked evidence, Dark Dialogue focuses on one goal: understanding the truth, not just retelling the story.
On July 7, 1993, Seattle detectives began piecing together the final hours of Mia Zapata’s life.
Friends remembered seeing her at the Comet Tavern. Witnesses recalled her search for an ex-boyfriend. Investigators reconstructed her movements through Capitol Hill and back to the Winston Apartments, where she was last seen alive around 2:00 a.m.
For much of the evening, the timeline is surprisingly clear.
Then certainty ends.
In this second installment of our Mia Zapata series, we examine the known timeline, the physical evidence, the witness accounts, and the investigative questions that emerged after Mia disappeared from view. We explore the challenges detectives faced, the competing interpretations of the evidence, and why one of Seattle’s most significant homicide investigations quickly found itself at a dead end.
This is not the story of how the case was solved.
It is the story of how the investigation began.
🎙️ Dark Dialogue is a victim-first true crime podcast focused on thorough research, investigative analysis, and giving voices to the voiceless.
