CO CO - Nonnie Dotson, 33, Littleton, 19 Nov 2006

[DEPUTYDAWG]

I'm glad this got bumped up. I couldn't remember her name (I'm sorry to admit that), but I haven't forgotten about her and her case.

Another case that will always haunt me.

Found no updates on her... Only on her brother, from April 2015. He was sentenced to 48 years in prison.

I find the BBM quote from the sheriff's office interesting...:

Dotson was also the last person to see his sister Nonnie Dotson. She disappeared from his home in Jefferson County in Nov. 2006. Nonnie was an Air Force nurse. She and her daughter, Savannah, had been visiting from Texas for the Thanksgiving holiday when she went missing.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said that Dotson was on a list with other family members to see if he was connected. No one was ever cleared from that list.

A very strange "twist".

I recall that she had been staying with her brother and the account of her last known activities were provided by him. She had gone out clubbing the night before and apparently interacted with a few different men. She got home quite late and spent more time that night and later that morning on an online dating site. In the early afternoon the next day, she told her brother she was going out to meet up with one or more "old friends" and left on foot. He agreed to look after the child. He expected her back in a few hours. (She was from the Denver area but had not lived there in years, there were not that many old friends she kept in touch with). When she hadn't returned by the next morning, her brother called the police.

None of her Denver friends had any arrangement to meet her that day so there was sort of an assumption that she had hooked up with either someone she met online or the night before and didn't want her brother to know about it.

The ex-boyfriend/baby daddy was somewhat of a cadd who was giving her a hard time about child support but he had a solid alibi back in Texas and any kind of "hired hit" seems pretty improbable if she disappeared during a social engagement she had set up.

If, her brother did do her in, he would have been in a good position to misdirect the investigation by providing inaccurate information .

Still, although he is a rapist and a would be murderer, there is obvious motive for him to kill his sister.

Interesting case.

Bump for Nonnie

Most recent article I could find in the news about Nonnie is from May this year:

'Something happened to her:' Family wants answers 10 years after single mom's disappearance


"The day after Nonnie disappeared, police did get a ping from her cell phone not far from the area she was last seen. Dogs traced her scent there, but no evidence was found.

Investigators believe she was taken against her will, but Alberti says at this point, there’s only one thing that can solve the case.

“It’s going to take that person coming forward after all these years to say ‘this is what I know happened,’” Alberti said. “In these kinds of cases, it just takes something really small.”"

It will be 11 years since Nonnie's disappearance on November 19th. Praying she will be home by then...

Rapist Tony Dotson Guilty in Murder-For-Hire Bid Against Victim...and Sister Is Still Missing

...SBM

Nonnie Dotson, Tony's sister, vanished in 2006, but the case is still prominently listed on the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's cold-case pages. Tony was the last person to have seen Nonnie before she vanished, but no charges were filed in the case, and he very publicly advocated for the case to be solved, notably in a 2007 interview with CBS4 on the one-year anniversary of Nonnie's disappearance.

...SBM

On May 21, 2012, according to Dotson's arrest affidavit, also shared below, investigators were dispatched to an address on Galapago Street. There, a woman told them that she had gone to sleep sometime after 1 p.m., only to be awakened a couple of hours later "by an unknown male who immediately began grabbing and striking her before placing a sheet over her head."

Next, the report says, the man pulled the sheet around the woman's head, constricting her breathing, before tying her hands behind her back and cutting off her sleepwear with a knife. She did what she could to fight back, and even managed to get her hands free for a brief time. But the man responded by throwing her to the ground, slamming her head against the floor and retying her hands, after which he raped her on the bed.

...SBM

There was plenty of physical evidence in the case, including blood, and Dotson's DNA indicated that he was "included as a possible contributor," in the parlance of investigators. The odds of this happening by coincidence are put at one in 2.5 billion.

For his part, Dotson denied having anything to do with the rape and even suggested that he hadn't believed an assault had taken place, given that "the victim can be dramatic at times." But prosecutors weren't swayed and ultimately charged him with multiple sex assault charges, plus burglary and more.

In 2013, Dotson was convicted, but before he could be sentenced, another shocking revelation emerged: The Denver DA's office charged him of trying to solicit the sex-assault victim's murder while in jail.

...SBM

Fortunately, no such attempt was made on the woman's life, and now, Dotson has been convicted of murder-for-hire, too. He'd already been sentenced to 96 years to life for the sexual assault. He could get another 16-48 years at his next sentencing, slated for April 20.

Prosecutors say in 2009 Dotson’s business partner was also found dead in her car and Dotson profited $300,000 from life insurance policy. He was never indicted in that case.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office are working to find a woman who went missing on Nov. 19, 2006.

The sheriff’s office said Nonnie Dotson, 33, was last seen at her brother’s home in Littleton. She did not have a vehicle, so investigators said she either left on foot or was given a ride by someone.

The sheriff’s office said Dotson arrived in Colorado on a commercial airline three days prior to her disappearance. She flew in from San Antonio, Texas, which is where she was on active duty serving as a nurse with the United States Air Force.

Dotson did not return to active duty as she was scheduled to, and the return flight portion of her ticket was never used.

Nonnie Dotson, an Air Force nurse, was last seen on Nov. 19, 2006. She was visiting her brother in Littleton from San Antonio. Foul play is believed in the single mother's disappearance, but no body has been found.

Nonnie Dotson, a nurse with the U.S. Airforce, was last seen alive on Nov. 19, 2006, in Littleton. She was visiting from San Antonio and staying at her brother Tony Dotson’s house in Littleton.

The day after Nonnie disappeared, police got a ping from her cell phone not far from the area she was last seen. Dogs traced her scent there, but no evidence was found.

Investigators believe she was taken against her will but have little evidence to go with no crime scene or body.

“There’s not a body,” Elias Alberti, a detective with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office told 9NEWs in 2017. “There’s nothing to go off of and that really helps us and homicide cases – and even general evidence. Physical evidence or a crime scene leads up to clues, leads us to other people and you don’t have that in missing person’s cases.”

Anyone with information about Nonnie’s disappearance is asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 303-277-0211.
