The Impossible Disappearance Of Dorothy Arnold

during this interaction. Reports suggested that John even punched George and knocked him to the ground in February. George ended his voyage early and sailed back to the United States. He then hired his own private investigators to search for Dorothy in the month George paid for them. His investigators didn't find Dorothy either, so if I'm George, you're George, yes, I am. Not George, but I'm George, okay, you're a creep, George, I'm a creep, I'm a creep, yeah, I want to marry this heiress, I pay her to stay somewhere for a while, but if we want to elope?

When is the perfect time to do it so as not to look suspicious? When I'm on vacation for a month with my family, then she hides somewhere for a while. Yes, the family comes knocking on my door. She is listening. Where has she been? I don't know I'm on vacation, so I hire a private detective. You forgot the part where they gave him a knuckle sandwich. Whatever they hit me with, I'm going to get married. I am enthusiastic. Hello or a private detective, run around the city looking for don't tell him maybe I'll tell him like hey by the way this is all I don't know oh here's extra money don't tell him well I don't know how much honor rubber shoes had at that time but probably none okay then I'll meet her later as a sioux falls or something and we'll get married it's possible that's how hard it can be to change your identity so it's really easy it seems like there are a lot of steps instead of just telling the parents that yes, we are getting married, well I guess you're right about that, yes, yes, our second theory is that Dorothy was kidnapped and murdered.

This is the theory that Dorothy's father eventually came to accept as what happened to her daughter; in the absence of clues, the family came to believe this was the only logical explanation. By April, the family was so convinced her daughter was dead that they began asking police to drop the case. In fact, her parents evidently excluded Dorothy from her will. because they were so sure she wouldn't resurface. Look, I'm not going to judge a grieving family, but let me pass judgment here. It's strange that you would ever want the case to stop being investigated, I guess.

This prolongs the grieving period, but at the same time, if there is a chance, you would think you would want to continue and then I don't know how quickly people write dead children into wills. Yeah, I don't know what that is either. like six months later, about four and a half months, that's pretty fast, I have things in my refrigerator that have been there, it's a whole season, there's a whole season, a season that's pretty fast, it's weird that I jump to that because if people were like I'm so sorry, I bet she's out there somewhere and he was probably like, I bet she got stabbed, I bet she got killed, I bet she's dead, I better cut her out of my will. , it's a strange thought, but again, I don't.

I know what it's like to go through that grieving process so possibly this is their process and then you know it's strange for us because we're outsiders and we're idiots and you know we're looking at this 100 years later but I think we could say it's a bit strange and moving on seems strange, let's move on. Perhaps the strongest clue in the murder theory comes from one Edward Glenoris in 1916. Glenoras was serving time in the Rhode Island State Prison for attempted extortion of a clergyman, according to him. He found God and wanted to come clean to the warden about his alleged involvement in the burial of the body of a woman he had come to believe was Dorothy Arnold Glenora said that in what he remembered was December 1910, a man in a bar named Benoit asked by the help of him and another man that some reports called little louie these guys sound little suspicious in front of any name that sounds suspicious or like the star of many silent movies yeah, I mean, the only little one I trust is Stewart and that's everything but his is a little butler no little oh the mouse yes the man the mouse boy no man he was a mouse man he drove a car little louie sounds like a little funny like what little louie is doing this week oh murdering a woman Benoit Glenoris and Little Louie was assigned the task of moving an unconscious woman from a house in New Rochelle to a house in Hudson, near West Point.

The next day, Glenoras was informed that the woman had died and was asked to return to his home in West Point to help bury Glenoris. He allegedly buried the woman under a concrete floor in the basement and a rich-looking man paid him $250 for her participation. It has been speculated that the man who paid Glenoris could have been George Griscom, although there is no hard evidence to support these bad guys if if your friend comes up to you and says I need a favor, help me move a lady and you You say, yeah, sure you go into her apartment, no, oh, no, no, no, she's unconscious, I have to move her, uh, just, oh, shall we take her to? uh, the doctor no, no, to a quiet, quiet house somewhere upstate or he could rest yes, yes, the next day, by the way, wow, after Glenora confessed to helping bury the woman who Believed to be Dorothy, a team of detectives searched a house matching Glenora's vague description on April 21. 1916.

When they reached the basement, the team was surprised to find an area of ​​the concrete floor that appeared to have been broken in the past; however, the area was small, approximately five feet by six inches, and the caretaker stated that the floor had been broken. to fix a gas line when the authorities returned a couple of days later with the owner's permission to excavate the site, they did in fact find a gas line within a year of which the authorities were satisfied that Glenora's claims were false. The third and final theory we are discussing today is that Dorothy died accidentally during an abortion in April 1914.

The police raided the home of one Dr. C.C. Meredith in Pittsburgh, Meredith, his nurse, and another doctor, one Lutz, were arrested. The house was used as a private office where women went to seek abortions. Let's make a statement to the prosecutor that at one point Meredith had told him that Dorothy Arnold had been one of her patients because of the way Meredith spoke about her, let's infer that she had died and her body had been cremated in Meredith's office, while Lutz did not admit to having seen Dorothy herself testify that she had witnessed another young woman who died under Meredith's care being cremated in the basement during her raid.

Detectives found two large ovens in Meredith's basement. His speculation that Griscom might have been the one who had gotten Dorothy pregnant, but there is evidence of this. or that

dorothy

ever been to pittsburgh for an abortion is at best just two quick things about that, even back then women didn't have as much control over their bodies that they had to go to a basement to get an abortion from a creepy doctor who would throw them into a funny little oven, not that that's relevant nowadays, donate to planned parenthood, but number two, I don't really know if this applies to her, I don't know if it applies to her. did the abortion, went there or even got pregnant by Griscombe or if the Griscom thing is true then this may be more of a wild public imagination.

There is circumstantial evidence that perhaps this happened because Lutz, one of the three people who was arrested in the raid, said that the other doctor had told him that you know that Dorothy was one of his patients, whether true or not, who knows. Well she could have also been there before she disappeared or maybe she's trying to shave some time off her sentence by just lying, yeah, just lying. he's lying, yeah he's lying to get free time, possibly or it happened, I guess we won't, no I'm sorry why are we here, yeah I know it's the end of the episode and you were hoping the guys would figure it out, we never. that's the guarantee Stories of missing socialites have always captured the public's interest.

Something about a seemingly perfect life gone astray continues to fascinate our darkest imaginations for Dorothy Arnold. The lack of clues she confounded investigators has also given rise to a number of theories to debate. For more than 100 years, despite decades of attention and global searches, what really happened to the 25-year-old New York heiress that December day remains unsolved. What theory do you have here, if any? I'm a bit of a romantic, so I'd like to believe he ran away, I think he ran away, he just ran away, he didn't run away, he just scrambled, I think he could have run away and in 1910, how hard is it to run away?

It's probably not that hard, yeah, you burn your ID, that's all. You're a new person now anyway watch Nancy Drew on CW. She comes out on Wednesday, October 9th this fall. She could have solved this case. I think she might have done it. Without a doubt she is better at her job than we are.
