The Scholar – Dorothy Arnold
The Heiress Dorothy
Dorothy Arnold, a wealthy socialite and aspiring writer, disappeared in New York City in 1910. At 25, Dorothy was last seen after shopping for a dress on Fifth Avenue. Her case is one of the oldest and most famous disappearances in American history. Dorothy lived a life of privilege and was well-known in social circles, making her sudden disappearance all the more shocking to those who knew her.
High Society Scandal
Even with thorough searches and investigations, no trace of Dorothy was ever found. Rumors and theories included elopement, suicide, and abduction, but none have been substantiated. Her disappearance remains one of the most enduring mysteries of the early 20th century, often cited in discussions about historical missing person cases. The lack of any concrete evidence or reliable witness accounts has left her fate a matter of speculation and intrigue.
