Episode 314: The Mysterious Disappearance of Dorothy Arnold Part 1

Dorothy Arnold was a 25 year-old New York socialite from a prominent family back in 1910. One day, in broad daylight on fifth avenue, she seemingly vanished into thin air. No evidence, no packed bags and nothing to say what happened to her. Her family took some weird steps in the days and months after her disappearance all in the name of keeping their social standing. This is really just a case that makes you go, “hmmm…” And it's just the beginning.

Do more research!

I've been listening to your podcast for several months now and overall enjoy it. However, this episode is an exception and not because of the story itself. Matter of fact, the story is intriguing and would be infinitely more engaging if deeper research into the Social Register and upper class New York had been done. Maybe that would have eliminated your own naive ideas about how things should have been or how you "feel" reactions were as opposed to how they actually were. For Pete's sake, you could at least watch The Gilded Age on HBO MAX for a quick reference. While we "regular folk" have a hard time identifying with or even imagining their standards and eccentricities, there are plenty of materials out there that tell us how it was. Adding your modern feelings to the situation only serves to take the listener out of the story and time period abruptly. It's very disconcerting.

love these girls

these girls have a great vibe you feel like you're talking to your girlfriends about murder mystery stories. and please if the F bomb is offensive to you..... grow the fuck up. we are all adults your listening to a Murder podcast.

Social register

I cannot stop laughing about the Society social clubs really those people need to get over themselves . Really good show but be prepared to throw up in your mouth when they start to talk about the social register. Lol Good job guys you are funny!

Another great episode!!!!!!

Another great episode by the Morbid team

Ladies have delivered the steamy hot tea
Definitely worth listening too

Too much bad language

Could be a good book but I can’t get past the F bomb all the time. Just not what I like to hear.

Why?

I’m not a prude, but I couldn’t listen to this. The “f” bomb is unnecessarily added constantly. It adds nothing to the story and is off putting. I hope that people don’t talk like this all the time. I personally don’t know anyone that does. I couldn’t rate the story because I didn’t actually listen to it. I just rated it the same as performance.

Waste of time . Annoying!!

2 silly girls are cursing their way through a story . Super annoying! I was on my rower and did not want to stop , but I had to actually interrupt my work out to change the audible book!!! That bad!!

Language Alert

So many f-bombs. I was very interested in this story, but found it not enjoyable with the abundant use of foul language.
