On December 12, 1910, socialite Dorothy Arnold went missing in New York. This case is called the most mysterious in the history of the states.
Dorothy Arnold was an American socialite and heiress to a perfume company. On the day of her disappearance, the girl went to the store for a dress for the upcoming party. On the way, she went to a bookstore and met a friend on the street with whom she talked for several minutes.
After that, no one ever saw Dorothy. The family became worried on the second day of their daughter's absence. But my father did not want to contact the police - he was afraid of a bad reputation. Therefore, the couple hired a lawyer. But neither his investigation, nor the appeal to detectives led nowhere. Only six weeks after the disappearance of her daughter, her parents went to the police. But none of the girl's acquaintances knew anything, her lover was perplexed, too, who even began to be suspected of missing Dorothy.
There were several versions of events: murder followed by disposal of the body, suicide, and the fact that the girl could have been kidnapped by her friend. But none of them has ever been confirmed. Searches were carried out until the end of the 1910s. Having spent a total of about $ 100,000 on them by the time of his death, Francis Arnold finally lost faith that his daughter was alive. In his will, he indicated that he considered Dorothy dead and for this reason did not leave her any share of his inheritance. By the way, the police more than once reported that they saw Dorothy in different parts of the United States, but all reports turned out to be false.

In 2003, Jason's parents - Jim and Kelly Yolkowski - founded a nonprofit fund to help families of missing persons in memory of him.
