It's just that, you know, this person has left their TV on and they're not here when they should be.

And that was concerning, but not enough to warrant like a big reaction from authorities.

But Patricia, she knew, you know, based on what she was seeing, that this was so uncharacteristic of Dorothy that something definitely had gone wrong here.

But even though Patricia really adamantly communicated that concern to the two officers, they just told her that, you know what, let's wait, give it a few days, and give Dorothy another couple of calls.

And if she doesn't show up in the next few days, come talk to us.

And so after the police left, you know, despite Patricia having this sense that something's off here, she did what she was told.

You know, she went home.

She continued trying Dorothy, but never got an answer.

She called around town to see if anybody had seen her or heard from her.

But no, nobody knew where she was.

And so finally, after four days, Patricia put in another call to the St.

Bernard Sheriff's Office.

And this time she absolutely begged them to do something because Dorothy Thompson was still missing.

And now Patricia was 100% certain that something bad had to have happened to her.

At around 10.30 a.m.

on the same day that Patricia has made this plea for help four days after Dorothy had inexplicably gone missing, Detective Brian Vallelongo drove his cruiser through Dorothy Thompson's pet cemetery along with Sergeant Terrence Strada.

Both men worked for the St.

Bernard Sheriff's Office and they had been tasked to look into Dorothy's disappearance.

Vallelongo hadn't even gotten to the scene yet, but he was already uneasy as he drove past the animal tombstones and grave sites.

This place had always creeped him out.
