I think you're right. I still wonder why Houston, Texas and Portland, Oregon specifically though. There's just not a lot to go on.

Dorothy and her family had recently moved from Oregon to Texas and she was not happy in Texas. She also had a boyfriend in Oregon who has been named as a person of interest in her disappearance. Her case was reopened as a possible foul play investigation and is currently active.

I would be interested to know who she was with and who saw her last. Is there any information on her parents? I haven’t been able to find anything on them at all. Have any connections been made between her case and the Leslie sisters?

EDIT
It was determined that Dorothy's case is an isolated incident and therefore unrelated to any other missing persons in that area. Her parents have kept a low profile publically, but have never stopped looking for her. one family member has worked extensively in recent years to get LE to investigate her case and as a result they have done extensive interviews.
