One of New England's most endearing mysteries, but should we classify it that way? Dorothy had a myriad of problems. She was divorced from a loser who couldn't pay support and was attracted to men with a fast lifestyle and little else to offer. In that spirit a relationship with John F. Bolton, a rough and tumble, stumble bum from Boston's West's End.

Bolton had just beaten a life sentence for the murder of a two year old step daughter in 1966, he served under a decade in a plea bargain. He was an abusive two time prison loser and Bolton was confirmed to escape a prison run hospital on an almost nightly basis. Dorothy went missing after a night of drinking at the Penalty Box bar, near Boston Garden. The story gets hazier from there, Bolton actually admitted to arguing with Dorothy, the night she disappeared. Dorothy and her Ford vehicle were never seen again. The case went cold almost immediately.
