Dario Dizdar is a Police officer in Phoenix, Arizona. Dizdar has been the focus of two separate incidents.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

In 2009 he lied to a Glendale, Arizona police officer about his identity when that officer was investigating an assault outside a bar where he was a customer. He was disciplined for this deceit. In 2020 he was one of 100 Phoenix police officers on the department's "Brady list",

On July 30, 2021, Dizdar phoned 9-11, to report his date Angela Tramonte had gone missing when he took her on an expedition on a challenging desert hike to the top of Camelback Mountain.[12] Tramonte had met Dizdar online, and traveled from the Boston area to meet him for the first time, that very day. Dizdar was an experienced desert hiker. Tramonte had never hiked the high desert before. Dizdar had failed to make sure they had a supply of water for the hike. When Tramonte said she wasn't feeling well Dizdar abandoned her, telling her to make her own way back to his car, while he continued to the top of the peak.

When he returned to the parking area he could not find her, so he phoned 9-11. Her body was found, three hours later. She had died of heat exhaustion.

The coroner's office ruled Tramonte's death an accident, in spite of widespread criticism of Dizdar's role.

According to Fox News:[13]

He was disciplined and placed on the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office "Brady list," which tracks officers with integrity concerns due to past misconduct, according to the Daily Beast.[13]
