On Monday morning, August 19, about 11:00 a.m., Dorothy had walked downtown to buy some hamburger steak for dinner. She didn't have much money in her purse. When she failed to return in time for dinner, her mother telephoned a neighbor who stated that she had seen the girl walking towards the market, but had not seen her since. Mrs. Dennison also telephoned the market and the proprietor said he had sold Dorothy a pound of hamburger sometime before noon, but didn't notice which way she turned upon leaving the shop. By late afternoon, Mrs. Dennison, thoroughly alarmed, notified the police.
Lieutenant Peale's investigation report stated that on Monday afternoon, August 19, at 5:25 p.m., he received the call from Mrs. Dennison at Police Headquarters and at once took charge of the matter personally. The customary inquiries began and by Wednesday, August 21, a systematic search of all closed or unoccupied building in the vicinity was undertaken. It was not until Friday, August 23, 4:15 p.m. that he and Officer Patrick Sullivan entered the Parsonage and found the premises as represented in the model.
