Missing
Mrs. Dorothy Weiler, 22, daughter of Mrs. Pearl Wright, Adams block, has been missing since June 16 when she broke away from her mother near the Manhattan Cafe with the declaration she intended to jump in the river.
She was divorced four months ago from George Weiler, residing in New York, and was awarded custody of their infant sons, 2 and 1. She had been residing with her grandmother, Mrs. H.S. Wright, 1212 Idaho St.
The missing woman is a medium blonde, 5 ft. 1 in. tall and weighs 118. When last seen she was wearing Levis, a red checked jacket, white sports shirt, bobby sox and white mocassins and her hair was down in curls.
The mother said Mrs. Weiler had pawned her wedding ring and had only a small amount of change in her pocket when she disappeared, running toward the Snake River.

That’s interesting. Her bio is credited to Banting. It would be interesting to know who he interviewed. The article is dated 5/18/2014.It's weird because there's other version of this:
"On June 16, 1947, Dorothy Louise Weiler left her home for a short bicycle ride and never returned. An intensive search by local and state agencies failed to find her. Her mother filed documents in February 1955 to have the missing woman declared legally dead to recover costs of payment on her life insurance policy".
