Before the Hollywood dolls that haunt our dreams, there was one (not so) quietly closed in an attic in a Key West home causing quite a stir for anyone with whom he came into contact. As his notoriety has grown and with his placement in a permanent museum display, the reach of that contact has grown tremendously, as has the number of letters he receives from people pleading with him to release them from whatever curse he has placed upon them. This episode is the history of Robert the doll.

Dori Ann Myers was a skilled poker player. She knew how to make calculated decisions when the pressure was on. But she also had a soft spot for people, especially for those who made sacrifices for the good of others. Unfortunately, one of those people took advantage of Dori letting her guard down and of her not treating people with the same critical eye as she did cards. Someone came into her home in January 10th, 2006 and, when they left during the early morning hours of January 11th, they took Dori with them. Now it’s law enforcement who are having to make calculated decisions in their attempts to solve her case.

It was a spur-of-the-moment date in Philadelphia. They hadn’t seen each other in weeks and even them meeting up on the evening of Saturday, February 19th, 2005 was coincidental. But the two of them (and the vehicle they were in) vanished that night without any clues pointing investigators toward one theory or another. So why do officals now believe that the disappearance of that pair-- Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone, Jr-- was the result of a murder-for-hire plot? And might YOU or someone you know be the one who can finally connect the final dot so the two families can put their loved one to rest.
