The family of missing Air Force nurse Nonnie Dotson appeared on the CBS Early Show today to plead for information about her disappearance.
Dotson, 33, of San Antonio, Texas, was visiting her brother in Littleton on Nov. 19 when she walked from his home to get a smoothie and never returned.
She left her toddler daughter Savannah behind.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is out of leads in the case, the family said. Authorities have also ruled out Savannah’s biological father, Edward Vehle, as a suspect.
But her mother, Candice Dotson, told the Early Show that there is no way she would have left her little girl behind.
“Not a chance. She would not leave her daughter,” Candice Dotson said. “She had bought a house, she had settled, she was getting out of the military in March, there is no way. If there was something bad, there is no way she would leave Savannah.”
The family says Savannah still cries for her mother and has figured out that something is wrong.
“I think somebody has taken her,” Candice Dotson said of her daughter. “I know somebody has taken her. She didn’t just go off by herself. Someone has taken her and is holding her against her will. We know that.”
