– Dorothy leaves her room and goes downstairs. She meets her mom in the main hall and tells her she’s going shopping to buy a new dress for her 19-year-old sister Marjorie’s debutante party.
– Dorothy leaves the family’s home in the posh Upper East Side of Manhattan. She takes $25 with her, or about $700 by today’s rates. – On 27th Street, Dorothy goes to Brentano’s bookstore where she buys a collection of funny stories and essays. Upon leaving the shop, she bumps into her friend Gladys King. – Dorothy waves a farewell to Gladys and heads home. She decides to go through Central Park on her way. At least that’s what she tells her friend.
– In the evening of December 12, Dorothy still hadn’t arrived home. But there wasn’t any immediate cause for alarm. – They suspected that someone could’ve abducted his daughter to demand a ransom from the well-off family. He didn’t want to make things more complicated by giving publicity to this story. – He also searched the girl’s room and found only one strange thing. There were burnt sheets of paper in the fireplace. He couldn’t make out the text, but there were some flyers of ships carrying passengers from the US to Europe.
– Six weeks after his daughter’s disappearance, Francis Arnold finally gave in. He invited journalists for a press conference and assumed that she’d been attacked while on her way home through Central Park.
– There’s also the theory that she simply ran away. It was known that she’d been feeling particularly down about the magazine refusals. In fact, it’s believed that the burnt papers in the fireplace that had been found in the early days of the investigation were letters of refusal. #dorothyarnold #mystery #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
