That is, until the day she mysteriously disappeared on December 12, 1910…

SUMMARY
- 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.

Hey there, BrightSiders! Have you ever got lost?
Hi bright side, nope I haven’t been
Yeah...
Don't tell me why
yes I have maybe 5 or 6 times... at costco
Yeah in walmart but I had a phone while my parents where at the cashier I was at the toy section dancing after 5 or 6 min I called them on my phone
Nope i think
Disappearences are worse than murders because you never know what happened to your loved one and hope he/she comes back until the end
Yeah
Yeah..i Always read/listen this type of story n my mind begins battling like what happened with them..n how painful or happy there life or death..😅
I read your comment starting with your RUclips name. Yup that was weird lol

I can't imagine what it is to lose a child like this
😂🤣
Same
Ur name though
@@kaylawhitney6942 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😅
I know right
She was last spotted in Home Alone: Lost in New York, as the bird lady in Central Park
Wait did you saw her?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨
How do you know?
Uhm 😐 how do you know that
How do you know?
Its a joke beacuse the bird lady was also in the central park and so was dorothy
"It wasn't common for a single woman to date men and not get married" It was common. They were called suitors. It was just dishonorable to sleep with a man before marriage
I don't know.
Maybe she met someone in the park.
In my country, it's still considered dishonourable to sleep with a man before marriage
@@bertisacutepumpkinboy8517 where are you from?
@@jackoconnor11 hi
My theory: Dorothy’s friend said she had to go for lunch with her mother at 2:00pm keep in mind that is quite early for dinner and quite late for lunch. Dorothy said to her friend she was going to Central Park, Dorothy’s friend knew Dorothy was wealthy so what if the friend was jealous or had something against her and killed her, kidnapped her or did human trafficking with her? Also it could link to the boyfriend as he had letter off her where she wrote very upset. She seemed quite depressed and upset,
Also there were still letters in the fireplace so I also wonder if she had planned to make it look like she was going to Europe so she could of traveled to another country while they were distracted focusing on Europe and America! These are just my guesses but yeah!
Hm your right
IDK out yall but I personally find it weird that Dorothy's boyfriend was the first to assume that she took her life...given that she was his GF he would've known at least smth abt her personality...UK enough to know abt the type of person she is? and if I saw it correctly then it wouldn't have been too long since she disappeared...seems to me that he gave up hope kinda fast...which is also sus...I get that he spent all that money but...yea..that's just my suspicion sooo yea
Thats similar to my theory
@@Soaxee Would you mind sharing yours, I quite like listening to others theory’s!
@@ibilanc783 My theory was almost exactly the same but in my theory Dorothy's friend gave her to some other rich man for money and the rich man promised Dorothy success in writing to keep her from trying to run away
I think she got kidnaped because why would a rich girl run away from here home
this may sound callous but, why didn't a woman of her social status have a chauffeur, that walk is too far even for me today? Just imagine the streets especially with the type of clothing she was wearing? 🤔
@@Zeldarw104 I agree with u she should have had a chaperone or maybe she walked on the ice in central park and the ice broke and she drawned .
Yeah but the way we see kidnapped these days is like night with a vehichle. Its 1910 they would be dragging her out of the park to somewhere close by or something. And none the less a body would turn up.
@@bertisacutepumpkinboy8517 it was never mentioned maybe they did NOT think about it
Maybe that's where her skeleton can now be found or at least her skull 💀
It's possible that she left her own life to start a new life, thus left all of her items and brought nothing but herself
I don't think she did, she would be known in that country and USA will eventually find out where she is
this is my best guest, when she go to central park she problably already make a secret room so she get in there and died there and the lever of the entrance cannot be found
Perhaps those burnt papers were threats to her family or friends. The burnt papers might have included a ransom which is the money she took with her and a condition to never let any of her family know about this which is why it's burnt. As for the ship pictures that were also burnt, it's possible that those ships was the meeting place. When Dorothy bid farewell to Gladys, it's possssible that she went to meet the person/s that sent the letters (which are now burnt) as threats to her family but little did she know, it was an abduction plan. Wherever the meeting place is the abductors might have decided to kidnap her somewhere without any witnesses since she was famous after all. But, whatever they did to Dorothy is ssomething I can't answer.....but hey that's just a theory a BRIGHT SIDE THEORY!
This comment made my day! It’s a rlly interesting theory. Thanks for this (even tho I’m 2 yrs late lol)
You just made my day😊
I think the Father had something to do with her disappearance considering He didn't go to the police right away!!!
Jamie Birdsong
You are right, I thought of that too, about her dad, he was very strange. Only God knows. How sad .
🌺😔 🌺
@@margaretstanton4153
Yes it's really sad!!!
I think so too! As soon as it was said he didn't want to call authorities I said, he did it!
right!!! they did think she was a disgrace for having a boyfriend and it was a bad look for the family company.
@@sclarks26
So true!!!
I think she probably started a new life. Even though she was very rich and social, we never know what a person is going through from the inside. Maybe she had some other issue troubling her mind which she told nobody about. Mayb she changed her identity forever.
maybe someone reading this is one of her descendants if she didn't die
Yeah she could’ve changed her name and like dyed her hair a different color or maybe she bought really bad clothes at the dress shop, so no one would know... IDK THO 🤷♀️
That could be true
Hey person scrolling through the comments
You have a wonderful day 🤩✨💗
Would love advice for my channel 💕
Some advice is to always keep us happy. Ill sub now!
Aurelie Grace Could you do a video on editing like how you edit
You to
Aurelie Grace wow.
I’ll sub right now
there are too many mysteries and secrets in this world that can't be solve. Only God can tell what really happen.
True, so True 👍🕊😑
True.🤔🤔
She is dead because it has been hundred years since she was vanished
Of course
Technically right
maybe no because she entered somewhere wierd and maybe this place not make her die
I support your theory 😂😂😂
*yes*
Even if she was found she would be dead by now :(
100yrs of a missing loved one.
Ice was all over the streets… and also on the man hole… !
She may be fail through the man hole to the drainage lines accidentally! And dead And there family, friends, and police didn't search drainage lines!
So they didn't find her till now!
Wouldn't A worker find her then?
@@yooniverse1882 ok.. at first .. in that time maximum sea coast city's drainage lines drain the dirt to the sea....
So she flow through the drainage line to the sea... For that reason no one can't find her...!!
I was going to say that but I wasnt bothered XD
But also the water would be too less to move a body, and even if there was enough water, it couldn't have taken her that far!
And also, at the end of a drainage system, there would be bars covering the sewage before it is released into the water.
Makes sense
Had my best friend disappear in the middle of the night in 1999, during the school year from the same apartment complex in Clearwater,Fl, they never found him dead or alive.
...*Concerned Noices*
I got it she ran away to start new life and got kidnapped and she end her own life because it didn't go well
I just mixed all theories together
She ran away,it didn't go well,and then she killed herself/died of hunger
Amazing theory 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅🤣🤣
She was gone for 109.
Ok so this is my theory since Dorth was heading through Central Park and so forth she could have possibly fallen on the ice and went into the lake
My second theory is that maybe she was kidnapped due to her high status, I would rather point my fingers at her boyfriend not just because of how far he is but he is more so a likely suspect since Dorthy did tell him almost every aspect of her life making him the first suspect. But even so she took 1,500 dollers and was last seen at Central Park so maybe at that time is when maybe her boyfriend sent one of his friends or servents (,not sure since there was little information about him in the video) to take Dorthy and disguised her, and send her on a boat or so to Europe where Dorthy will be hiding in her boyfriend's house possible hiding place (In the attic, secret rooms, or she hid in the basement) if she did hide in anyone of these key locations, then it would explain why her boyfriend was spending a lot of money to make it sure that it wasn't him.
My final theory is that maybe her boyfriend didn't take him but kidnapped by someone else which would explain a lot since one she is more likely to be alone since she was at Central Park in the snow which make things hard to see
You should have asked Gladys's mom if she was really gonna meet her for lunch. In most of these cases, the known acquaintances are often the culprit! :D
They probably did
This screams of 'circumstantial foul play'. She wasn't worldly enough to hire professionals to cover her tracks, and she was naive enough to walk through Central Park alone. So: she was dressed well, and alone. She was probably kidnapped to grab her cash (a sizeable amount in those days), but not targeted by professionals, as they would have held her for ransom. Sadly, it was easier for the crooks to dispose of her body and keep the cash. Her European boyfriend would gain nothing from any of this, and his story seems to hold up.

Gladys from Bunk’d!
Nice
Thank you for making videos, i've been having a Really bad day but you re-builded it! 🙂😊
It's nice to see something different on your Channel every now and then. You had the Titanic video , which was quite interesting. Thank you.
My theory is that she was walking along a path next to a body of water and tripped and was distressed and drowned and sunk to the bottom of the body of water.
who is watching this in night and getting chills?
I SAWWW HER I FOUND HER
She’s on the thumbnail
Oh my gosh this was posted 17 minutes ago!!!! I'M EARLY!!!!!! YAAAAY!!!!!
At least it said 17 minutes ago...
Well I’m a year late
I know the mystery the mystery is that she went Europe so that she could get a job for a writer because she got rejected in all the jobs in New York
maybe
The boyfriend's note about she being upset about the future makes more sense.
1,500 USD to start a new life?! That sounds good to me 👌😁
She met jack dawson and ended up on the titanic...you know the rest.
hmmm... you mean I have to listen to that hideous Celine Dion song again?
My guess is that since she said she was going to go through central park, she could have fallen through the ice.
No matter how many times I watch this, still gives me chilles

"How does a person simply vanish without a trace in broad daylight?"
James Burne Worson: Am I a joke to you?
I think this this just written by herself Dorothy as a part of mystery in her literature then everyone else believe in this book. And became urban legend turn out to be fact and vice versa.
them pinkertons are here Dutch !!! LETS GET'EM .
If Dorothy crossed Central Park to head home, that doesn't mean that she vanished specifically in Central Park. She could've been kidnapped in the streets between her home and Central Park. The Police should've taken this into account and also investigate there.
Sounds like Dean and Sam have a case
mcgilljb92 😂😂😂
There are many possibilities of what had happened. Not all mysteries can or should be solved.
I have a theory. Before Dorothy dissapeared, she spoke to her friend, didn't she? Well, her friend excused herself, saying, 'I have to meet my mom for lunch, Dorothy, so, I should go!' Well, I think she has something to do with it! I believe that her friend pretended to go there and probably hid in an alley or something until Dorothy was out of earshot. Then she followed the young woman, who was her friend, and attacked or even killed her! And, she somehow managed to sneak away the woman's body and dump it deep inside the ocean where it could never be found! But then again, it's just a theory! I'm not sure it's correct, but, maybe, if these dectectives look into it, they might find some valuable evidence!
The ship already left.
I don’t think she was kidnapped or ran away she was in a good mood but took a lot of money it’s said to be nothing out of the ordinary for her to take that amount and yet it was a lot even by their standards I think she had a bf and wanted to marry him knowing her father wouldn’t accept she left but something else came up for example she finally got accepted but it was over seas and decided to chose her career over family and left taking the amount of money to start a new life
Who noticed her tears were going UP
Me
Also in some parts they were going down
I think maybe Dorthy may have been threatened and was told if she ever said anything to anyone she or her family would be harmed. Maybe the reason she disappeared was because she was told to or didn’t want anything done to her so she just left and decided to leave everything behind her. Also, she could have known the person who wanted to hurt her and they would be at her sisters party and that’s why she ran away.
Hope that makes sense. I mean it’s just an assumption lol
bro wt i feel is that THE REASON FOR HER MISSING IS HER FATHER, AS HE HAD AFFRAID THAT SHE WAS SPOILING HIS REPUTATION BY WT SHE WAS DOING AND TO PROTECT HIS REPUTITION HE ONLY MIGHT WOULD KILLED HER DAUGHTER!!
Oh.....that is so sad 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧😞😞😞 thxx for your videos
Your video about the disappearing plane makes the most sense
Imagine if she has some relatives still alive today that’s what I’m wondering and they know everything about her but it’s very unlikely
After watching Law and Order, there's always someone lurking in Central Park. They didn't know that back then.
What do you mean?
It’s obvious she ran away with her boyfriend and lived happily ever after in Europe.Her boyfriend just never told truth and played along with the disappearance since her family disapproved of him that’s why she was in a good mood and her writing career wasn’t going her way and she spent some time with certain people before she disappeared. Why would she have information about ships going to Europe where her boyfriend is at the time. They planned the whole thing all the way to the last T.
A fan before 2019 😊😊...... I always loved you bright side
I know what happened:-
Her sister is involved in her disappearance or she is hiding or buried in a tree in Central Park
That's my birthday December 12
Same as my Aunt's Birthday
Black KyuremGaming
I dunno
@@adpfgaming7472 oh shush
I forgot this so I will delete it
Ypu forgot to mention a letter recieved by her parents, that was supposely written by Dorothy that said that she was well and living in England!!!
WHAAT
Her dad seems to keep making up stories of how she disappeared and he was also reluctant to call the cops, normal parents would want a definite answer rather than jump to conclusions. I feel as though the dad did it
I think that she was going to commit suicide and before she could she would do or get her favorite things before she could die and my second theory is that she could also went to and ally and bought some make up exercise in a secret place and then made her look diffrent got herself a new passport and left to live in Europe with the extra money she had
Dorothy Disappears In Thin Air
Me: Gotta Run Before I Disappear As Her Ok Joking I Shall Tell She Disappeared In Thin Air
Love your vids keep it up nice vid
Hey! Ahe disappeared 1 day before my birthday!
If you don't know how can anyone else know? Anyway thanks for the video, very interesting! I am so sorry that happened. 💝
I think that since she already made so much stops on her way to the dress store she made another one that they didn't know about. She could have been stopped by someone(kidnapper) and she's supposedly famous people wouldn't think about her being randomly stopped.
There she could have been threatened then kidnapped.
The burnt papers could just be some of her drafts for the papers that got rejected.
But hey don't listen to me.
there was one thing that didn't make sense which is, they searched all over central park but they did not search the oceans.
i guess she was killed and maybe by The Last person who saw her-her friend
Is it confirmed that she left her friend's home..bcoz there is a chance of her friend backstabbed her...
I think she's trapped in time loop... She'll appear soonly... Don't worry Dorothy family... We'll support you until Dorothy's appearance...😥😥😋
They are dead...
There can be millions of things that could have happened. Anyway great video once again, @brightside!
I agree
Love it! I learned something new
Someone kidnapped her and must've burnt her body 🤔🤔
Who misses the old Bright Side intro?
Flashback to the past here
She never bought a dress but she did buy a book and some candy why would she buy a book and candy while she was going buy a dress?? I think she did something her self and not a other guy/girl
i think the parents (or at least the mother) had something to do with it .. the father doesnt call the police, but then hires a LAWYER.. I read they lied and told one of her friends that she returned and when the friend asked to speak to her , the mother said she had “a headache and went to bed” .. Or it could be the “friend” .. she couldve lied about her account to the police to shift the focus to the family
I think that it was gladys,it was 2:00 pm when she said goodbye to gladys she said she'll meet her mom at lunch but it was already 2:00 pm
this doesn't make sense, because if Dorothy decided to go home through central park, someone may have seen her at least. it's a park, so obviously people would be there.
Am I the only one that saw the thumbnail and reminded of buzzfeed unsolved?
*she definitely entered the fourth dimension*
thanks for the happy music
Maybe Jack the Ripper came back from the dead and then killed her or it was the whistling man
I honestly she disappeared in the same manner as Rudolf Fentz.
Griscom could have captured her to marry because her parents were against the idea
Maybe she was kidnap by that dude who wanted to marry her took her to another country or something and he acted like wanted to help her
May be that burnt paper be some threatening letters burnt down
Maybe it was rat man from gta 4 he’s usually got a sewer lair by the park she could of got dragged down
Dark energy is to blame because I saw a person 14 days ago just vanish into thin air. I had nightmares for 5 days.
Any lady on street too late is totally bad in any decades or century.... 😓😓
Did anyone notice that the ‘missing’ poster for Dorthy said “wanted”
Lol ye xD
Her father would have done it
First time he said she was kidnapped and second time an accident how does he know it without investigation and what is the link between his company's reputation and his daughter
Everyone has some things they would want to delete from their life...
She must have wanted to delete every single thing about her life to start a new life again
wow. great info
she must have burnt her writings and she didn't wanted anyone that she was running from home so she also took the bag and money and ran away
I think she was kidnapped by one of her friends and this friend buried her body .
For the fact that it was daylight: I don't know. Maybe there weren't people in it, and someone her friend just grabbed her by her mouth so she couldn't scream for help.
That what makes the most sense to me.
She said to glady that she had to join mom for lunch.....but for same day she kept 36 $ for doing lunch with friends... isn't its strange?
Why did she need a boat to leave the country, CANADA is NORTH of N.Y.
The writer can use the process of ghost writing.
It is strange that she has no bodyguards or security being a roch and famous person.
Maybe, Dorothy was kidnapped by someone. But we will never know who, why and where he had kidnapped her.
