Dorothy Jane Scott, 32, vanished after taking a coworker to UC Irvine Medical Center on May 28, 1980. She had driven coworkers Pam Head and Conrad Bostron to the hospital after Conrad was treated for a spider bite; while Pam and Conrad went inside to pick up a prescription, Dorothy went to bring her car around. Witnesses then saw Dorothy’s car speed past with its headlights blinding them, but Dorothy never returned. Her car was found burning in an alley about 10 miles from the hospital a few hours later; Dorothy was missing.

Months before her disappearance Dorothy had been receiving disturbing phone calls from an unknown man that began as declarations of love and escalated to threats; she had taken karate lessons because of the calls. After she disappeared the caller taunted her parents, saying he had her, and the calls continued intermittently for years. On August 6, 1984 partially charred human and dog bones were found near Santa Ana Canyon Road with a turquoise ring and a watch identified as Dorothy’s; dental records confirmed her identity. The skeletal condition left cause of death undetermined. A man later phoned a newspaper confessing to killing Dorothy and citing private details of that night, but no arrests have been made.

Does anyone have information about Dorothy, the calls she received, or that area near Santa Ana Canyon Road?
