Web site, hot line devoted to missing woman
BY TANYA BRICKING
The Cincinnati Enquirer
A private investigator has set up a Web site and a toll-free hot line in an effort to find a 43-year-old missing woman.
Dorothy Douglas, who has a criminal history of crack-cocaine use and prostitution, disappeared Aug. 26.
The Walnut Hills woman left without a car, without her clothes and without money. Her food stamp card was last used Sept. 9.
Local private investigator Dan Hodge has set up a Web site, www.angelfire.com/biz/privacyconcerns/Missing.html, with Ms. Douglas' picture and description of the Walnut Hills area where her family last saw her.
Ms. Douglas has two children and two grandchildren. Years ago, she had a steady job in the nursing field. She enjoyed homemaking and gardening.
Her family said her life hit a downward spiral when her husband was killed in 1982 in a stabbing that was never solved. The next year, her brother was presumed drowned in Tennessee, and his body was never found.
Her family has contacted her friends, hung out in the drug circles Ms. Douglas frequented and posted fliers in churches and bars. But they are still seeking leads about what happened to her.
Callers to the hot line, (800) 954-7715, ext. 72, can remain anonymous. Anyone with information also can call Cincinnati police at 352-3040.
