Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13988) and 13 other sources
Dorothy Goroshko, a 40-year-old woman from Brighton, Massachusetts, was last seen on June 4, 1975. That evening, she went out with friends to The Penalty Box bar near Boston's North Station. After parting ways with her friends, Dorothy disappeared, along with her gold 1970 Ford Maverick. Despite multiple searches, neither Dorothy nor her car have been found.

At the time of her disappearance, Dorothy was dating John “Jack” Boulton, a convicted felon with a violent past, including a manslaughter conviction. Boulton claimed that he and Dorothy had an argument that night and she followed him in her car as he walked home, trying to hit him with the vehicle. His story, however, is inconsistent with other evidence, and authorities have re-examined his role in her disappearance over the years.

Dorothy's family strongly suspects foul play, and despite decades of investigation, no concrete answers have emerged. In 2021, her family offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts, hoping to finally bring closure to the case.
