Dorothy Jane Scott
Dorothy Jane Scott was a 32-year-old single mother who lived in Stanton, California with her 4-year-old sin and her aunt. She worked in Anaheim as a back office secretary at Swinger’s Psych Shop and Custom John’s Head Shop while her parents, who just lived a few blocks down from her work, watched Shawn.
Every evening, Dorothy would pick her son up from her parents home and drive the 20 minutes back to their home. She would cook dinner and then watch cartoons with Shawn or read him a book. She had a normal life. That is until, she started receiving some disturbing phone calls. For several months, Dorothy has been receiving phone calls from a man she did not know. The calls were alarming, to say the least. The man threaten her and warned her that he was watching her every move.
Dorothy claimed the man told her “When I get you alone, I will cut you up into bits so no one will ever find you.” and on one occasion, Dorothy received a phone call telling her to look outside because he had left her a gift. On the windshield of her car was a dead rose. Other calls would be to tell her he knew where she was and what she was wearing. The calls left Dorothy terrified. Dorothy once said that the voice sounded like someone she knew but never mentioned who, and the caller never revealed who they were either.
On May 28, 1980 Dorothy was in a meeting at work when she noticed that her coworker, Conrad Bostron, looked ill and had a red mark on his arm. The mark on his arm was red and swollen, so she knew he needed medical attention. Another coworker, Pam Head, and Dorothy took Conrad to the emergency room where it was determined he had been bitten by a black widow spider. Pam said she and Dorothy stayed in the waiting room together.
Once Conrad was discharged, Dorothy offered to bring her car around to pick him and Pam up at the door. When she still hadn’t picked them up after a few minutes, they went out to the parking lot to try to find her. (Cont)
