According to the Kingston Daily Freeman (Kingston, NY) of Nov 18, 1925, Alice Corbett may have gone missing because of romantic problems.
"Jealousy, wild and passionate and the fear that she might lose the man she adored--this is the latest theory in the mysterious disappearance of Miss Alice M. Corbett, 19, of Utica, NY, Smith College junior. .... Thomas Sterling, Amherst student, a resident of Frankfort, NY, was the girl's sweetheart and several love letters found today written to him by Alice coupled with the fact that the young couple quarrelled over another pretty girl and that the Smith junior asked Sterling to buy her poison strengthened the jealousy theory, investigators said."
It then quotes several slightly obsessive sounding love letters from Alice to Tommy.
