EYES BURNED OUT WITH ACID

Six-year-old Dorothy Ann Distlehurst of Nashville, TN went skipping toward school one September morning in 1934 “wearing a blue and white plaid dress and [holding] a pink lunchbox.” But she never returned for her expected 1PM lunch break. Her parents received a postcard from Georgia about a week later promising to burn Dorothy’s eyes out with acid if ransom money wasn’t delivered.

Dorothy’s decaying body was found two months later by a pair of men who were digging flower beds. She had been gagged. Her skull had apparently received multiple blows from a hammer. She was naked and in a “crouching” position. Acid had been poured on her face. Her murderers were never found.
