- Details of Disappearance:
- On October 21, 1961, during a deer hunt near Monument Peak in Idaho, 16-year-old Dorsey disappeared. A blizzard hit while he was retrieving a deer he’d shot. He was last seen near a campfire, then walking into the storm. The deer was later found.
Someone reported seeing Dorsey later that day, walking along a road. A man offered him a ride, but his truck was full, so Dorsey rode in the back. He got out at the bottom of a hill. While Dorsey’s family is trying to find this man to learn more, police haven’t been able to confirm this story.
Dorsey and his rifle have never been found, and his disappearance remains a mystery.
