There is nothing about her on the web. Her family seems nonexistant and there are no pictures and no extra details. Poor woman.

Bumping this thread for Dot. It's been 51 years and 3 days since her disappearance.

Quite a find, although as much as I tried Ancestry roots are very much tied to Iowa.

Found a number of newspaper articles, will post them all as they have her address.
Thompson was propably be her married name as one article says “housewife”.
Seems she was a serial offender however I think I would have disappeared too if I was facing 20 years for forgery!

According to this 1963 article her minimum jail time was 5 years, so seems she disappeared when let out on parole.
