Doris Rita Brings Plenty was 32 years old when she was last known to have been in Rapid City, South Dakota, in Pennington County. Online case information lists her date of last contact as October 19, 1983, but the available notes caution that the date is approximate; because of that, the exact date she was last seen is unknown. She is listed as an American Indian / Alaska Native woman with black hair and brown eyes.
Her reported height is about 5 feet 4 inches and her reported weight is about 165 pounds, though those measurements are also described as approximate.
The publicly available circumstances are limited. Doris was reportedly last known to be leaving a hospital in Rapid City. No public source located provides the name of the hospital, the reason she had been there, who last saw her, where she may have gone afterward, or whether she had access to transportation. The scarcity of details leaves a painful gap in the record and makes her case especially difficult to understand from the outside.
NamUs lists her case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP99875. The case information identifies the Rapid City Police Department as the investigating agency, with the agency case number listed as PCR 23-201470. The NamUs record also indicates that the case was reported to the agency on February 2, 2023, decades after Doris was last known to have been seen. That long span underscores how much time passed before the case became visible in a national missing-persons database, while also preserving her name and details for investigators and the public.
There are no publicly available photos of Doris in the online sources located, and no public information found describes what she was wearing, whether she had any distinctive physical features, or whether she carried any personal belongings when she was last seen. The available summaries consistently emphasize that there are few details in her case. In the absence of fuller public information, Doris should be remembered not just as a case number, but as a woman whose family, community, and loved ones deserve answers about what happened after she left that hospital in Rapid City.Last Seen: Oct 19, 1983
