About 2:30 a.m. the next morning, members of her foster family, who had been looking for her for hours, found Schlappigs body in a trash can behind a house in the 800 block of McKnight Street.
Her jacket was found in a yard nearby. The bandanna was found beneath her body. The broken dish and the magazine were found in an alley between the 100 blocks of West Douglass and West Windsor streets.
Investigators determined she had been raped and strangled.
In 1967 another Reading girl was found dead in Leesport PA. When the Reading Times published the photo of Christine Wise an annonymous caller directed the Times to "check its files for a photo of Dorothy Schlappig". March 9 1967 the Times then ran photos of both girls side by side to illustrate the similarities in appearance.
