Episode 4-The Disappearance of 1Lt Nonnie Dotson
Episode 4 – Missing: What happened to 1Lt Nonnie Dotson?
In November 2006, Air Force 1Lt Nonnie Dotson was months away from separating from the Air Force. The week before Thanksgiving she flew from San Antonio, TX to Colorado, never to be seen again. She seemingly vanished into thin air, leaving behind her 16-month old baby girl. There have been zero leads from the moment of her disappearance, but Nonnie was surrounded by sketchy characters. Could someone be hiding a dark secret? Dig in with Margot as she discusses the disappearance of 1Lt Nonnie Dotson.
