Dottie Caylor

All witnesses purchase of interest, and suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Welcome to Primetime Crime. I'm your host, Kylie. Let's talk right now on true crime, and then together we are going to work on warming up some cold cases. Let's go. Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Primetime Crime. It's Kylie. We are going to dive in to right now on true crime. First thing up is an Amber Spradland case update. So the defense attorney was held in the contempt of court and ended up being fined five hundred dollars during a hearing that was on Monday in Floyd's Circuit Court, and the judge pretty much chastised the attorney, who is named Randy O'Neil, for using three what they say, phony citations to case law in his motion to dismiss charges of murder and tampering a physical evidence against mk McKinney, along with charges of tampa with physical evidence against doctor Michael McKinney and Josh Mullins. The emotion to dismiss the charges was of course withdrawn and they all have entered not guilty. Please. Now the Dental Board has went ahead and suspended Michael McKinney's allowance to work as a dentist, but he is going to be allowed to work as an operator at his dental office until five pm each day while he is at home basically on house arrest. He has to continue to wear his GPS monitor, and Josh Mullins was officially granted a reduction in bond from one hundred thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars cash. There is a pre trial hearing that is scheduled for October twenty fourth in Floyd's Circuit Court. So I will continue to keep you guys updated, but this is the latest. Debbie Hall, who is Amber's cousin, has said the following on the Facebook group Justice for Amber. I see a lot of people upset by today's court proceedings, but overall we were okay with it all. While I would love to see them in jail permanently, the truth of the fact is that innocent until proven guilty and they do have rights. We want the case done fairly. We have always been pleased with Brett Turner, and we think Judge Coleman is doing a good job too. Please refrain from disparaging remarks regarding these two individuals. We have a lot that depends on them. We have so much support and attention that there's no way this heinous act will go unpunished. Let Mike go back to work, let everyone see him, stare at him, point at him. Maybe he'll slip up somehow and wind up back in jail. We have the upper hand now, no worries. So, like I said, that is from Amber's cousin, and she does a really good job managing the group that is called Justice for Amber, And she really does do a good job at navigating all of this and trying to keep the group all on the same page, not letting it get out of hand, because there are definitely some people who are calling for harm to be done to these three individuals. And I get it, like you are very passionate and you feel a certain type of way, but it has to play out the way it's going to play out in order for it to be fair and not end in a mistrial or being turned over in court. We've seen that in so many different trials recently, So I am really glad that she seems to have a really good handle on all of that. So I do have a case update for you guys. In twenty twenty one, a woman named Dee Warner went missing in Michigan, and this week, officially, they have announced that human remains were found in a tank on property that belonged to Dale and Dee Warner. Now Dale was her husband. Now Dale Warner was charged in November of twenty twenty three with her murder. Even though they hadn't been able to find her remains or anything, they did believe that he was responsible. So now we have that he has pled not guilty and his trial is to begin next month. So it's gonna be really interesting to see what goes on with this. They obviously had enough evidence to bring charges against him, and they didn't have a body, and now they have a body. So it's going to be very interesting to see what all exactly unfolds and what happens with this one. So I will continue to keep you guys updated on this one. Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room. I watched pretty much all I have like half an episode left of the Peacock documentary of Scott Peterson, where it's basically like Scott tells all and let me say Scott has not aged, well, he really has not. He looks quite rough, honestly, but he basically has now the ability to video chat. So there's been a couple of journalists who have reached out to him and who have been having this open communication with him, and he is basically telling his side of the story, what happened, what he wishes he would have done back then, and I encourage you all to watch it. It really makes me mad to listen to him and kind of have him explain why he did certain things and why he didn't want to talk to the media initially and why he changed his appearance, because it's all just he's just saying it to say it. He really did himself no favors in the initial investigation, and that's really what put all eyes on him to begin with because of his own actions. The way he moved after Lacey disappeared was not quote unquote normal for a husband who is missing their wife who is eight months pregnant. There is no way to respond, no like proper way to respond to grief. But Scott Peterson responded in the exact opposite way of how you should and he continued to respond that way and he just dug himself into a hole more and more and more, in my opinion, and then everything came out about the affair and it just kind of blew up into what it has become. So I encourage you guys, if you're intrigued by this case. I am. Watch the Peacock documentary, Watch the Netflix documentary that just came out as well, because they are both drastically different. But I do kind of like hearing from Scott because I want to see what he's going to say. I want to see how he's going to spin things, and I just want to kind of get a feel for where he's at mentally. And let me tell you, the whole thing is just infuriating and mind blowing. But I do think that it is interesting to kind of hear the other side after all of these years and just kind of see where his head's out and what kind of moves he's planning to make now because the La Innocence Project has picked up his case, which also blows my mind, and they are going to be doing all of this different DNA testing, which, like I said, test it, test it, and prove that it has nothing to do with Lacy's disappearance and murder, and then we can get back to him just being in prison. So my opinion on all of that, I know, probably primarily everyone I chat with for the most part, thinks that Scott is guilty. But I know there are those people out there who think he's innocent. And I am always up for hearing both sides of the tail, which is why I wanted to listen and of course kind of get both sides. But I will continue to keep you guys updated on Scott's case, and I'm going to finish watching the other a little bit of the documentary that I need to catch up on. I think I have like twenty more minutes left in the last episode, but you guys check it out and let me know what you think. Okay, that just about does it for right now in True Crime. So we are going to go ahead and get started with this week's episode. Okay, guys, today we are jumping in to a brand new unsolved case. Today we're going to be talking about the unsolved disappearance of a woman named Dottie Kaylor. It happened on June twelfth of nineteen eighty five, and Dottie was only forty one years old when she went missing. So in my week of being sick, I decided that I wanted to rewatch some old unsolved mysteries and I started watching from the beginning. And as I was watching these different stories, of course I want to look up and see have they been solved? Is there any updates? And I came across Dottie's story, and it very much intrigued me, especially because there still isn't an affirmative resolution to this case to this day. However, once I tell you guys the story, it'll be pretty obvious allegedly that Dottie never left on her own and unfortunately likely lost her life the day that she did go missing. And this one is definitely going to me an interesting ride, So buckle up for it, because it's gonna get crazy. Dorothy may Resnik was born on January ninth of nineteen forty four in Chardon, Ohio. She was described as a very religious Catholic who enjoyed reading and writing. After high school, she attended a secretarial school and ended up going on to get a job as legal secretary. To her friends and family, Dorothy was known simply as Dottie, So that is how I am going to refer to her throughout this episode. So she first met a man named Jewel Kaylor in nineteen seventy and at the time, Jewel was a grad student at UC Berkeley, and when they first met, he gave her a fake name. He gave her the name of Jim Rupp. And the reason that he did this was because at the time he was married with a five year old daughter and he didn't want Dottie to find out about it. Now. They dated for months before Dottie found out that he was indeed married to another woman and had a child. But at this point in time, she was in love with Jewel, and eventually he ended up divorcing his wife and Dottie and Jewel married in nineteen seventy five, and at that point they settled into a home in Concord, California, located at seventeen thirty seven Greer Avenue, and it was a three bedroom and a one bathroom home. So Jewel worked as an entomologist and he was also an aerial photography specialist and he worked for the US Forest Service. So because of his job, he would often travel and this would leave Dottie alone at home. So in this Dottie would become very insecure and eventually developed a gooraphobia, which is a fear of leaving the house, and Jewel said that it was so bad that she couldn't even hold down a job because of all of her mental health issues. Dottie was a very regimented type of person. She would make lists for everything and pretty much planned her days out minute by minute. And honestly, after researching the story, I really get the feeling that Dottie was not in control over a lot of her life because of who she was married to, in my opinion, and I think that this was her attempt at trying to get a little bit of control back because her life had gotten away from her and she was seemingly controlled by someone else, and she struggled with this fear of leaving her house up until the day that she went missing. So Joel and Dottie had a particularly rocky marriage. There were a few incidents that I'm going to talk about, and then that will all lead up to when Dottie went missing. So on Thanksgiving of nineteen eighty one, Dottie and Joel had argued about a missing book and the fight ensued and it became physical and Jewel ended up hitting Dottie in the face with a typing stand. She took herself to the hospital and got stitches. Now with this, law enforcement did become involved, but there were no charges that ended up being pursued. Jewel said that in the fight, Dottie had threatened him with a pair of scissors and he was just offending himself. Dottie's sister also claims that Jewel was abusive, and there's also claims from multiple friends that Jewel and Dottie had a very troubled relationship and Jewel would often cheat on Dottie and get this, Jewel even proposed to another woman that he worked with six months before Dottie went missing. Now, this woman did not realize that he was still married. Jewel has a pattern of being a bit of a womanizer, to put it lightly, especially given the fact that he met and married Dottie while he was still with someone else. So this is a pattern for him. Dottie ended up joining a support group for battered women in nineteen eighty five, and at this point in time, it seemed like she was trying to pick up the pieces of her life, get her confidence back, and she had made the decision to divorce Jewel, she opened her own bank account, applied for credit cards, and she even opened a PO box for her mail to be delivered at She had also asked a friend of hers to keep some important files for her, and one of these things was a cashier's check that Dottie had inherited and it was for five thousand dollars, which back in nineteen eighty five was a heck of a lot of money, and she had kept this five thousand dollars cashier check secret from Jewel, so he did not know that she had this. So she had her friend to keep that for her, and it was set to expire in a few months and she needed to cash it. So in June of nineteen eighty five, Jewel had accepted a promotion from his job that was going to be moving him to Utah. Dottie's family said that it was at that point that she made the decision that she was going to stay in Concord, California, and she had told Jewel that she wanted a divorce and that she would buy him out for the portion of the California home so that she could own that house in full. She went ahead and packed up jewel stuff and put it in storage. And there is reports that he threatened her because of this, but Jewel denies ever doing that. Okay, so we are now going to get in to the day that Dottie disappeared. Now keep in mind, none of what I'm about to report is documented as fact. It's merely what Jewel told investigators happened. Jewel told the authorities that Dottie had packed an overnight bag and was going to visit a friend in California on June twelfth of nineteen eighty five. Juel said that he drove her to the Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Pleasant Hill, and he watched her walk inside of the building. So this woman who was terrified to leave the house is going on a solo trip and taking this transit train to get there. Jewel said that she was carrying her bag, a turquoise leather purse, and the purse had several items, including her medical card in a beasting kit. So Jewel dropped her off. He went on about his day and the next day he ended up having a job in San Francisco, and later that day he returned to the transit station in pleasant Hill, and he said that he found Dottie's blue nineteen sixty three Volkswagen Beetle and it was parked next to his vehicle. He said he looked inside and her purse was inside of her car, along with her driver's license, a current Diablo Valley College student identification card, thirty dollars in cash, a library card, and a white leather billfold. But there wasn't any sign of Dottie at the scene, and the beasting kit was also missing. Now, Dottie's family said it is very out of the ordinary for her to leave anything behind like that, especially her purse. That was her lifeline and she carried it with her everywhere. Jeuel said that he left a note for her on the vehicle and ended up hiding her purse under the seat. He locked the doors, and then he moved the car because he did not want her to get a parking ticket. He then went on to tell investigators that the car remained in its spot until June fourteenth, when he moved the car again. Now, authorities did get the note that Juel wrote to Dottie, and they said it started off as very affectionate and nice, and then it quickly turned in a different direction when he was basically accusing her of ruining his life by re using to sign loan papers. So Jewel didn't report Dottie as a missing person officially until June seventeenth, after a neighbor pretty much told him, you need to report her missing. Jewel had expected that Dottie would return from her trip on the twenty fourth of June. Of course, she never did, and with that Jewel said, I'm leaving California and he packed up and moved to Utah two weeks later. So in this he packed up his stuff, he packed up Dottie's possessions, He repainted the house and put the house up for rent. Now, Dottie's family was very concerned because at this point she had not reached out to them, She hadn't contacted anybody, and this was so out of the ordinary for her. She never claimed any of the money that was in her bank account and never followed up on this five thousand dollars cashier's check, so she seemingly just vanished into thin air. After Dottie disappeared, Jewel wrote a letter to his new fiance, the one that he got engaged to six weeks before Dottie disappeared, and said that he had made a quote herculean effort end quote to be with her, which she may or may not understand, and he said he would do anything for her. So the case seemingly goes cold. There is no sign of Dottie, nobody has heard from her, and there's not really any way to even for sure say that this is what happened. This is just Jewel's report of what happened that day. So in nineteen eighty eight police ended up receiving a letter accusing Jewel of murdering Dottie, and the letter said that Jewel had beaten Dottie to death with a tire iron and then buried her body under a birch tree that was in a remote area of Concord, California. They were in the process of building new homes in this area and that is where he disposed of her remains, and a map was also included with the letter. From the letter was determined to have male characteristics, but they were never able to officially link it to anyone, and they said that the handwriting did have similar characteristics to Jewel's handwriting, but again nothing was ever confirmed and the person that wrote this letter has never been identified. They've never come forward, so again we have this dead end as to what happened to Dottie. So at this point, Jewel has moved on with his life. He is living in Utah, he is remarried, and in two thousand and one, there was a reporter from Contra Costa Times that decided to interview Jewel in regards to his wife's case, and he said that he had honestly forgotten about his wife's disappearance and said that at this point he assumed that Dottie was deceased since nobody had heard from her. He also went ahead and changed his story and said that he didn't drive her to the train station and said that he thought that she had driven herself. He did make an attempt to try and run for state legislature, but ended up withdrawing once party members realized that police were investigating Dottie's disappearance and that he was potentially, maybe allegedly connected to it. In two thousand and one, they officially reopened Dottie's case, and in two thousand and five they decided to get a search warrant for the former home of Dottie and Jewel the one that was located in Concord, California, and court documents stated that authorities do believe that Jewel murdered his wife at that residence, but of course, between nineteen eighty five and two thousand and five a lot of time had passed, so this search turned up with no physical evidence that tied back to any of that, and despite their best attempts, there has never been enough evidence to bring charges against Jewel for the murder of his life life. Jewel actually did attempt to file for divorce from Dottie once he decided that he was going to retire, and he stated the reason for the divorce was because of desertion, basically saying that Dottie ran off, disappeared, and deserted him, and the judge initially granted it, and with that gave Jewel the control of their marital assets, everything that they had as a couple he ended up having control over and Dottie's sister was not pleased with this, and she filed a lawsuit against Jewel and basically, with this wanted Dottie to be declared legally dead and for her to be put in charge of her estate and the judge did agree that Dottie was likely to cease. They saw enough evidence that she was likely deceeased because she had never touched any of her financial assets or anything like that. But he was waiting because the case was kind of held up in the pending outcome of the police's investigation, and I was never able to find if they ever granted Dottie's sister the right to her estate and have control of her stuff. I was never able to find that, So I don't know where that currently stands. But there's no soul on earth that would say that Jewel Kaylor deserves to have anything that Dottie had, even if he is completely innocent of having anything to do with her disappearance. He obviously allegedly was not a good husband to her and doesn't deserve a single thing that she had worked for in her life. So Jewel very much always alluded to the fact that Dottie took off on her own, left him, and pretty much did it just to give him trouble and make him suffer, which I'm rolling my eyes so hard right now, I wish you could see me. But there was literally no evidence of this. Everything that she was doing and the moves that she was making before she disappeared very much spoke of a woman who was trying to get her life together and trying to get out of a bad marriage, but Jewel made that very, very difficult for her. And I do see that people could say, well, she wanted to get away from him so bad that she just faked her own disappearance, But she had nothing, and she literally left allegedly with a bag of stuff and that was it, and didn't even take her purse with her. That doesn't make any sense to me. And she didn't access the five thousand dollars cashiers check, which likely if she were to disappear and start a new life, she would need that five thousand dollars to help her get back up on her feet. And the fact that she never contacted any of her friends or family and they all knew that she was in kind of this dire situation of trying to get out of her marriage. So none of it lines up with Dottie willingly leaving behind her life to start anew I think she was in the process of doing that and Jewel wouldn't let her. For whatever reason, he would not let her, and I honestly can't imagine what Dottie's last days were truly like and the things that she went through at the hands allegedly of Jewel. And I think it's really sad that this story still to this day, doesn't really have any resolution, even though the writing is seemingly on the wall. So with all of that being said, we are now going to hear from Jewel Kaylor himself. This is from season one of Unsolved Mysteries, which was filmed shortly after Dottie went missing. So this is Jewel Kayler in his own words, and we're just going to listen to what he has to say. For the first few days, I thought that she had left temporarily too. I'll simply make things any convenient for me. Me. Dottie had what doctors have called agoraphobia. She would stay inside most of the time. She couldn't even apply for a job, much less hold on down. It was a real problem. So remember earlier when I talked about the incident where it was Thanksgiving and their argument turned into a physical altercation, and Jewel said that she had tried to attack him with a pair of scissors, so he had to defend himself. We're now going to hear Jeel talking about that incident. And she was standing over top of me with those scissors. Juel says that Dottie started the fight, swearing at me and saying, I'll kill you, you son, I'll kill you, and I grabbed her little typing stand and hit her with it. She had secret lives, a secret existence that I knew nothing about, and she wanted it that way. She pursued that I only began to become aware of it. Oh near the time that she disappeared. I wasn't even aware of it. I was just suspicious. Dottie had said in the event that I got transferred that she was not interested in going with me, so I wasn't expecting her to go with me, and wouldn't even have wanted her to, I guess. I took her down to the park station. She had with her a little overnight bage, and I dropped her off, and she walked around the corner of the station and disappeared. So now we're going to hear from Jewel in regards to when he found the Volkswagen, Dottie's Volkswagon next to his car at the train station. So I walked over and looked inside, and then I noticed her purse, and that was very, very strange. She told me how important it was to her to have her purse with her all the time. She felt secure if she felt she had a lot of her things with her and she felt safe out in the world. That's one of the things that made me feel so terribly upset when I realized that she had not taken her purse with her. You would certainly consider those around that person as being possible possible suspects. No, that doesn't bother me at all. I suspect that she either willfully disappeared and then was helped to permanently disappear, or perhaps just got in with the wrong person. Right at the start, it was hell living with Dotty. It was hell having her disappear the way that she did. And yet since I've gotten here and gotten settled and into a new job and that whole problem is behind me, things are really I. Am going to link this episode in the show notes, guys, because you have to go and watch the way that Jewel is during his interview. Body language is a huge thing. Investigators look at body language all the time when they're interviewing people and just the way that he talks, and going back to when he said that he thinks that Dottie maybe ran into somebody at the very beginning that didn't have good intentions. I feel like there is an ounce of truth in everything that Jewel is saying, and I think there is a whole lot of truth behind that because from all the research I've done and what I've seen, the person that Dottie ran into at the very beginning that didn't have good intentions for her was her husband. And I think that very much comes across in this interview, in his demeanor, in his answers. Of of course, it was her fault for disappearing, and she did it to make his life difficult, and it was really hard living with her because of her goraphobia and her ability to not be able to hold down a job and victim blaming and victim blaming and victim blaming, and I am the person that suffered in this relationship, not her. It literally makes me want to rage. So I decided that I was going to do a little more digging into Jewel and figure out where he is, what he's all about. Jewel's in his eighties now, Dottie would also be in her eighties, So what is he up to? So I found a Facebook page for Jewel and these people are not the smartest humans, let me tell you. Because his Facebook is pretty much open. He does not post a lot and probably hasn't posted in a way or finally realize that he needs to keep his stuff private. But the posts that are on there and the pictures that are on there, there's a ton of comments on them, and it's all about his involvement in the murder of his wife, Dottie, And there's so many comments about how he knows more than he's saying and he killed his wife, and it is just comment after comment after comment after comment, and one person's comment, which I just love and I thought it was great, was that the internet is Dottie's revenge. And I think that's true because Jewel, even though he said back in nineteen eighty seven eighty eight when this interview was recorded, even though he said he's having a good life and things are pretty good, I do believe that he probably day in and day out, thinks that today could be the day. And I still think that there is a possibility that maybe we will see Jewel have to officially answer for what he really knows about Dottie's quote unquote disappearance and what happened to her that day, because I do feel like investigators could be closer to figuring out what truly happened and questioning him on it because he was the closest person to her, and we have all of this circumstantial evidence that things were not great in their marriage and she was trying to escape their marriage. And we can tell he's a very victim blamey person just from his interview that he did in nineteen eighty eight, and I can't imagine what he put Dottie through in their marriage and the time that they were together. Going back to Jewel's Facebook page, I do want to highlight a comment that was put on one of his posts. Again, every comment on his post is all in relation to what he knows about Dottie's disappearance. So this person really either they have some inside information or whatever the case may be. Some of the stuff is stuff that I've talked about, but some of it I did not know, so I'm going to read it word for word. There was a wealth of information left out of the Unsolved Mystery segment for starters. Keep in mind that Jewel says he last saw Dottie on six twelve, nineteen eighty five. Jewel Kaylor only worked for an hour and a half on six twelve, nineteen eighty five. He left work and used six and a half hours of sick leave on the day she disappeared. Jewel took eight hours of sick leave on six ' eleven, nineteen eighty five. He used four hours on six thirteen, and then used a full eight hours again on six fourteen. This was all verified by detectives looking at his work calendar. Dottie had written several letters to Jewel's parents accusing him of abusing her physically and emotionally for years. She repeatedly had said that he had abandoned her on various holidays and events Christmas even one time to run off and carry on extramarital affairs. In one letter, she said Jewel had told her that when he was younger, he built a bomb and stuffed it up the ass of the neighbor's sleeping dog and blew it up. What I'm confused. In another letter to Jewel's parents, Dottie had said that Jewel had planned on killing his first wife because she was going to bankrupt him during their divorce proceedings. He told Dottie he was going to sneak into his first wife's home at night and slit her throat, and that no one would ever accuse him of doing it. Despite Jewels saying it would be easy for him to disappear into the Alaskan wilderness, Dotty said she talked Jewel out of doing it. And yet another letter, Dotty said, this Jewel threats to pop me off, as he puts it, may succeed, but in the long run, it won't get him anywhere. The neighbors are watching him now to help protect me, especially because of his nineteen eighty one violence against me, And if he carries through with his murder threats, he'll just find himself sitting in jail for the rest of his life. During the investigation into Dottie's disappearance, detectives were never able to find anyone other than Jewel who claimed to have seen Dottie alive. On six twelve, nineteen eighty five, an insurance agent in Utah who was working with Jewel to transfer his insurance over had said that Jewel repeatedly made advances towards her while at the office. During a conversation with her, Jewel had said that he didn't believe in divorce, it would be easier to do away with them. Jewel also had showed her several aerial photos that he had taken of a force, and the insurance agent suspected he was showing her pictures of where he had buried Dotty's body. The lady whom Jewel had proposed marriage to six months prior to Dottie's disappearance, had no idea about the fact that Jewel and Dottie were still married. In fact, the police didn't even know about her existence until a friend of hers recognized Jewel on Unsolved Mysteries and call the hotline. Della, who was the woman, had told police that Jewel had told her that he had no family and was married to an Oriental woman, but had divorced her ten years prior. During a holiday stay with Jewel at the tail end of nineteen eighty five, Jewel's daughter was coming to stay with them, and at that point he finally confessed about his marriage to Dottie. He claimed that their relationship was asinine, told her about the physical assault and then claimed that he feared for his life when he was around Dottie. Della told police that Jewel simply claimed that Dottie wanted to make him know what it was like to be alone and simply vanished, kind of like gone girl, in a way to disrupt his life. He told Della that Dotty was not going to kill him, and if I have to, I'll kill her first. As a matter of fact, she's gone, and if she's dead someplace, it's good reddance. He also told Della, you don't have to worry about her coming to interfere in our lives. You don't have to worry. I will protect you. She's not going to come hurt you or me anymore. Maybe she is dead somewhere, maybe somebody killed her. And if somebody killed her, good reddance again. Della had said she wanted to help Jewel clear his name with police, but he is never interested and always appeared indifferent. After seeing how cold blooded he appeared to be handling Dotty's disappearance, Della became fearful of Jewel and suspected that he murdered her. She had cut her visits with him short and called friends and said that if they didn't hear from her in ten hours to call the police because Jewel had killed her. The detectives asked what Jewel had said to her to make her become so fearful of Jewel so quickly, and she had said that Jewel bragged to her about how easy it was, how easy it would be to bury a body, and that no one would suspect anything. He went into detail about how he buried Dottie's dog and knew how to bury it to eliminate odors to not alarm neighbors. He said that if he ever wanted to get rid of a person, he would do the same thing he did with the dog. The plan was for Jewel to move to Utah, while Dottie stayed behind and lived at the home they had once shared. One of Dotty's friends became worried after repeated attempts to call her home when unanswered. She was also worried because she knew that Dotty would never go anywhere without her purse. On one of the days trying to call Dotty at her house, Jewel answered and told her that Dotty was missing. She told him to call police, but he did it. It was only after consulting with a neighbor who was a police officer, that Jewel finally reported her missing. When Unsolved Mysteries re aired the segment in the early two thousands, a man had emailed the show a tip about Jewel. He was Jewel's middle school and high school classmate and had said that he wrote a paper in seventh or eighth grade titled how to Commit the Perfect Murder. It creeped the teacher and the students out. The next door neighbor of Jewel and Dottie had found a rusty meat cleaver hidden under some ivy on his fence after Jewel had moved away and Dotty disappeared. Prior to this, Jewel had asked him not to cut the ivy away because it was holding the fence up. The same neighbor said that when he was in the house helping Jeel move, he could smell what smelled like burning flesh inside. Jeuel gave the man a fifty pound sack of sulfur for him to use, which was fertilizer. He also said that he saw Jewel pour a concrete slab for a patio in his backyard around the time that Dottie had disappeared. Dottie's friend, after finding out that she was missing, went to the house she shared with Jewel. Jeel walked her around the house and saw her clothing neatly folded in her room. She knew Dotty would have taken these things if she did, in fact, plan on leaving the house and going elsewhere. She asked to see Dottie's purse and Jewel showed her. She removed the contents and saw the wallet, medical card, and beasting kit. She made a big deal to Jewel that Dotty would have never went anywhere without her medical card or beasting kit. She went to the house because she knew Dotty was afraid of Jewel and thought that maybe Jewel had done locked up in the house against her will. She claims that Jewel was more concerned with his financial situation instead of Dottie's well being. Several of Dotty's friends confirmed that she was in a support group that specified in helping battered women victims of domestic violence prepared to leave their husbands and file for divorce. None of Dotty's friends had ever heard her talk about disappearing for a long period of time or running off with the mystery man. The last time she went on a date with someone other than Jewel. In addition to the support group she was in, she was also involved in a singles group, was in late nineteen eighty four. None of the men she dated ever went back out on other dates with her. When detectives reopened the case in two thousand and four, they reinterviewed Della. She told them that in nineteen eighty five, Jewel had complained to her about the tenants in the home he and Dottie shared, slaughtered an animal inside the house and got blood all over the walls. We are almost done, guys. There's three more points, two more points. I'm sorry. The real estate agent who managed the property after Jeel moved to Utah said that Jewel told her that Dottie was moving to Utah with him. Dottie had told her sister that she was going to stay with a friend until Jewel left and moved to Utah. Once he was in Utah, she could return to the house. Dottie's sister found out about a moving truck outside of Dottie's house and went over to confront Jewel. On six nineteen, nineteen eighty five, Joel had all of Dottie's belongings in the truck and was planning on taking them to Utah with him. Dottie's sister began to yell and question why he was taking Dottie's things if she planned on coming back home when he left, Jewel was reluctant to let them take anything and said that Dottie could get the things in Utah if she ever resurfaced. Jewel also never had called Dotti's sister from six twelve until she confronted him on six nineteen to ask about Dottie's whereabouts. In the police report that Jewel filed, he had Dotties listed under her Dottie listed under her maiden name. Dottie sister said, this was about as close to distancing as you could get, and I lied, there's way more than two more. There's like ten more. Sorry, but this is all really good stuff. Dottie's sister hired private investigators to look into finding Dottie. They found nothing. The cost of hiring them was high, and she asked Jewel to help contribute some money he was receiving from renting the house out. He claimed expenses were too high and that he couldn't contribute a couple one hundred dollars a month to help locate Dottie. Jeel repeatedly turned down offers from police, Dottie's sister, and Della to take a polygraph test. A polygraph expert even suggested that he only answer one question with regards to knowing the whereabouts of Dottie, and he still refused. Dottie's parents passed away in nineteen ninety seven and two thousand and five, and for so long a lot of people thought Dottie did potentially run off because that is what Jewel had really spun. So when Dottie's parents passed away, there was speculation that she might pop up at a funeral for them, but of course she did not. Dotty sent a birthday card to a friend on six ' five, nineteen eighty five, which read, in the home stretch, a few more weeks and he'll finally be out of here, hooray. Dottie refused to sign the loan papers Jewel had repeatedly asked her to. Without her signature, he wouldn't be able to buy the home in Utah. He eventually had to have his parents put their house up for collateral to purchase the house in Utah. There is no evidence that Dottie knew about Jewel's plans to rent the house out after he moved to Utah. The plan was for Dotty to live there. Jewel signed the rental agreement on six ' seven of nineteen eighty five, while Dottie was still alive. In my opinion, this is the person that's writing is he planned on killing her once she wouldn't sign the loan, and then rent the house out at double the price of the mortgage payment to receive more money. Jewel said that he and Dottie's original agreement was that Dottie was going to pay him four hundred dollars a month to live in the house while he was in Utah. The rental agreement was for six hundred and fifty dollars a month for the tenants to live in the house. This is extremely cold if Jewel is innocent, and at this point I don't think there's any way, shape or form that he is. He claimed that Dottie was still alive, knew that she had planned on returning to the house and living in it, yet goes out and moves her things out so he can rent the house out before she can even return home. Where was Dottie going to go if she did ever come back home and found tenants living inside of her home. In two thousand and four, the police looked into Dottie's purse and the contents of the purse. They found the instructions on how to use the bee sting kit, but not the actual beasting kit. Dottie would have needed these instructions to use it, she would have taken them with the kit, but she did it. Jewel's herculean effort comment quote, I have faith in myself, sweetheart. If I did not, I could have never come here. That took a most herculean effort, one which will probably one which you will probably never fully understand because it was so difficult. I really cannot talk about it or think about it coherently to tell you about it yet. End quote. In two thousand and four, detective scanned Jewel's backyard, where he poured the concrete patio with a radar device and found an anomaly underneath it. Even though Jewel said Dottie wasn't planning to return until after June twenty fourth, he proceeded to repaint the inside of the home, put it up for rent and took most of Dottie's possessions with him when he moved to Utah. Jewel claimed he was forced to put the house up for rent because Dottie didn't sign the refinancing papers, but it turned out that Jewel originally signed a rental contract on June seventh, five days before she left for her trip. I already covered that. In January of nineteen eighty eight, the Concord PD received the anonymous written letter. We talked about that earlier. There's nothing new or different here. In nineteen ninety seven, the Kailer's former next door neighbor in Concord found a rusted meat cleaver with duct tape on the handle underneath some eyes. We talked about that earlier, and he had recalled a conversation from around the time of Dotty's disappearance about not cutting down the ivy because the fence would fall. And then it goes on to say all of the information comes from a probable cause affidavit filed in two thousand and four, two thousand and five, but the police in Concord, California. I do want to say all of that, of course, is alleged, but it is an official police document, so it has to have some merit and some weight to it. Somebody did ask about digging up the concrete to see what was going on underneath it, and apparently they did eventually dig up the concrete. They got a warrant and they had reason to believe that that might be where Dottie's remains were, but they weren't able to find anything in that part of their investigation. So that is where the case stands today. It is a lot There is a lot of information in this one, and we seemingly don't have resolution at this point in time. I do feel though that they seem to still be actively pursuing leads in this case, and I think that investigators have a pretty good idea of what happened. They just don't have enough evidence to one hundred percent prove it and make an arrest. But you never know if time is running out and that is going to be happening soon, So we can just cross our fingers that that is the case. So that is Dottie's story. Please share this episode and hopefully the Concord Police Department in California will soon be able to make that arrest that they so desperately need to make so we can hopefully get justice for Dottie Kaylor. So thank you guys, I appreciate you for listening, and I will see you next time for a brand new Unsolved case. Bye.
