Is it certain that the victim was Asian? It's possible she was undocumented, and entered the States via Canada.

It sounds like he had high functioning autism.

Bumping for Cali. Someone knows who you are, sweetie, but time is running out. Whatever you did in life, you did not deserve the end that you had. If by some strange chance you read this...come forward.

Bumping for Dorothy. A fascinating case full of twists and turns that would make a fine mystery novel. And unfortunately so much time has passed that we will likely never know what happened to her.

Just my .02, but I also don't think she'd have been walking around Las Vegas barefoot. Either she was from a nearby hotel, or perhaps left her shoes in her male "companion's" car?

I may be no detective, but I can see that Diane was running from something. An abusive man? Harassment at work? An addiction?

Pretty girl. Nice smile. It's a shame that in the richest country on Earth, if one goes missing, social class often determines whether or not they will be found.

The tattoos on his hand were the symbol for "Anarchy" and "Public Image," a band fronted by John Lydon who often claimed to be an anarchist. I'd like to know what were the "flags" mentioned.

Reading the full article, it certainly seems like the husband, Nickerson Rogers, had more than a little to do with her disappearance. http://www.laphamsquarterly.org/essays/vanishing-act.php?page=all From what I can find he died in 1980, still living in New Hampshire, so I guess we can't know...

Dorothy was certainly smart; probably a lot smarter than her family gave her credit for. She almost certainly had read the Sherlock Holmes stories, which contained many accounts of how Holmes was able to blend into the London scenery in working-class garb.Yes, I think Dorothy was likely able to...

Private Eye Dot Com lists a "Michael James Griffin" who has lived in Las Vegas at some point, but mostly in Michigan. As to his family and associates (which is notoriously unreliable on PR), the closest to Donnis is a "Diana J. Griffin."

Since Dorothy had a flair for the dramatic anyway, I can well imagine she may have used "Camille" as part of her new name. Most people who "disappear" keep something of their original name.

As a future failed screenwriter, I've thought of that one myself. The industry was hiring just about anyone at that point. Women were active in screenwriting from the beginning, usually as part of a team or under a male pen name. The same was true of the burgeoning pulp fiction industry. It's...

SSDI doesn't list a Jean Barrie who could be our person. Of course that doesn't mean much; in those days it was very easy to change one's name or go by an alias.

Interestingly, around 1902 there was a popular romance novel by a "Mrs. Georgie Sheldon" (Sarah Elizabeth Downs) called "Dorothy Arnold's Escape." I've been unable to locate any info regarding the plot, but could the book (or at least its title) have inspired the real Dorothy? She was known...

Judging by what she had with her, clearly this woman had money. It seems unlikely that no one missed her. And why a kitchen bowl? Why a symbol of domesticity, for someone who was in a motel? Was she leaving a failed marriage?

Arthur R. Manby was one of the most colorful figures in the territorial days of New Mexico, and in its early statehood. An Englishman who had hobnobbed with the likes of D. H. Lawrence, Manby moved to Taos possibly as early as 1883, but more likely sometime in the 1890s. He began to acquire land...

Unfortunately for Mary Ann, no sinister sex ring is necessary for her to vanish. I've read a little on the traveling magazine sales groups and how they exploit their young workers: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/21414/door-magazine-sales-cult Often when a worker doesn't perform, these groups...
