Dorothy and her family had recently moved from Oregon to Texas and she was not happy in Texas. She also had a boyfriend in Oregon who has been named as a person of interest in her disappearance. Her case was reopened as a possible foul play investigation and is currently active.I think you're right. I still wonder why Houston, Texas and Portland, Oregon specifically though. There's just not a lot to go on.
EDITI would be interested to know who she was with and who saw her last. Is there any information on her parents? I haven’t been able to find anything on them at all. Have any connections been made between her case and the Leslie sisters?
No rule outs. UID does have DNA available.Has this UID been ruled out?The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

There is actually a very extensive police file with a lot of information. It is available if you send a FOIA request. Dorothy’s brother pushed very hard to get her case investigated a few years ago. They have a suspect.
