Dorothy Forstein was a 40-year-old wife and mother living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On the night of October 18th, 1949, Dorothy went missing and was never seen again. Dorothy's daughter claimed that she saw a stranger enter their home and carry her unconscious mother out the front door. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the mysterious disappearance of Dorothy Forstein. Dorothy was married to a man named Jules Forstein, who was a judge. Some theorized that someone was upset about something that happened in the courtroom and decided to take their revenge by hurting Dorothy. Police went back and forth about whether they believed Dorothy's daughter's story that she had seen a man carry her mother out of the house.

January 25th, 1945 marked the end of the idyllic life Dorothy and Jules Forestein shared. Dorothy would seemingly vanish into thin air. Her young daughter insists that a strange man carried her mother out of the house and into the night. Dorothy's husband would arrive home merely 15 minutes after the strange man left. What happened to Dorothy Forestein? Was she kidnapped or did she just up and leave? She vanished over 70 years ago without a single trace or a lead as to what happened to her!

October 18, 1949. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dorothy Forstein, the 40-year old wife of a local magistrate, is discovered to be missing from her home. Even though there are no signs of forced entry, Dorothy's nine-year old stepdaughter, Marcy, claims that an unidentified man entered Dorothy's bedroom and carried her unconscious body out of the residence. There is speculation that Dorothy's disappearance might be connected to another incident from nearly five years earlier where she was violently attacked by an unknown individual inside her house, but no trace of her is ever found. Could the same person who attacked Dorothy have been responsible for her disappearance? Is Marcy's story about the abduction an accurate account of what happened? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a perplexing disappearance which has managed to remain unsolved for over 70 years.

Welcome to episode 4. This week Marah and Tara each bring an unsolved and unexplained disappearance case. The cases of Dorothy Forstein and Brian Shaffer. What happened to them how does one just vanish into thin air never to be seen again? Hear Marah and Tara share their cases and discuss their theories with each other.

Join us this week for a bifurcated special. Meredith and Sarah split this special episode on some very cold cases, literally and figuratively. To start, we are headed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the Mysterious Disappearance of Dorothy Forstein. This is a hauntingly cold case that has remained unsolved for 72+ years. Sarah takes us up north to a very chilly place, Nome, Alaska. Where in the last 34 years, at least 33 people have gone missing under some rather mysterious circumstances. The range of craziness up there has led some to believe there might be a serial killer living amongst the locals. For astrology, Wednesday 4/27, Mercury in Taurus will be sextile with Jupiter in Pisces & Venus in Pisces will be conjunct with Neptune in Pisces. This day will be a good day to make some major life decisions and also bring out our unconditional feelings of love. On Thursday 4/28, Mercury in Taurus will be trine with Pluto in Capricorn making it the perfect day to visualize what you want and make it happen! This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Danielle covers the disappearance of Dorothy Forstein, an unsolved crime. Based out of Philadelphia, Dorothy did not possess any enemies and was well-liked by friends and neighbors. The only potential motive formulated by police was that Dorothy was abducted by someone who held a grudge against her magistrate husband, Jules Forstein. Four years after getting brutally attacked in her own home, Dorothy was never seen again after her daughter was woken in the night and saw her mother getting carried out of their house by an unknown man. Later, Sandra talks about more haunted house stories from the popular website Reddit. However, this week has a theme, and that theme is Doppelgangers. Find out both the history of doppelgangers and form your own conclusions on whether or not you think that doppelgangers are evil, or just random people that may look like or are similar to yourself.

Telling others about Weird Darkness helps make it possible for me to keep doing the podcast! IN THIS EPISODE: Some of the most unsettling of urban legends can take place in some of the happiest places on earth. Ghostly children swinging in a playground, phantom-like warriors coming out at night in beautiful Hawaii, but there's one I never heard of until just this morning that I had to look up… it has to do with a boy, a theme park, and a man with horns, (Damien and the Horned Man) *** In 1944 Dorothy Forstein came home from shopping and was attacked by an intruder, beat within an inch of her life. Nothing was stolen, no fingerprints left, no clue as to how the person entered the house to begin with. Dorothy recovered from her injuries… but years later she found her grim fate wasn't done with her. (The Disappearance of Dorothy Forstein) *** SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is continually scanning the heavens on the lookout for life elsewhere in the universe. But is it possible that somewhere on another planet out there, those beings are doing the same thing – and could actually be watching us? Scientists say that not only is it possible, but they suspect it could be over 1,000 extraterrestrial space stations are watching our every move! (Are We Being Watched By Alien Space Stations?) *** Eighteen-year-old Ellen Lucas was to be married on October 3rd – but the evening of October 2nd she went out with her fiance, never to be seen alive again. Did a horrible accident destroy the chances of this couple's happy life together? A random act of violence? Or was it something even more sinister? (The Bridgeport Tragedy) *** She seemed the perfect American, even born to a US military doctor, graduating from a prestigious American college, and working tirelessly, doing her part to serve her country as a military analyst. What would cause this seemingly patriotic citizen to become a spy for the enemy? (Havana Ana, The Cuban Spy)STORY SOURCES AND MUSIC CREDITS…(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
