Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1817) and 15 other sources
Dorothy Ann Bois, a 22-year-old woman from Nashua, New Hampshire, was last seen on the night of October 3, 1973. She was at home with her husband, Kenneth Bois, and their young daughter in their Kinsley Street apartment. According to Kenneth, the couple had been watching television together when he fell asleep around 11:30 PM. When he awoke later, Dorothy was gone. Kenneth reported her missing in the early hours of October 4.

Dorothy was described as 4'10" tall, weighing about 100 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly wearing an orange bodysuit, blue jeans with paisley bands around the knees, and brown clogs. Despite extensive investigations, including searches and interviews, no significant leads emerged regarding her whereabouts.

There has been ongoing speculation about the circumstances of her disappearance, with some considering the possibility of foul play. However, no evidence has been found to conclusively explain what happened to her, and her case remains unsolved. Authorities continue to seek any information that could help provide answers to her family and loved ones after nearly five decades.
