Details of Disappearance
Ms. Dorman was met at her work (possibly) by her daughter,
Julianne White. At the time, Ruby was working as a buffet hostess at the Flamingo Laughlin. Julianne returned Ms. Dorman's vehicle to the residence (this was witnessed by a roomate) and left the area. Dorman's purse and keys were left in the car. Ruby has not been seen since. It is believed that her daughter may have killed her, though there is no physical evidence to say that definitively.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, White has for years believed Dorman had followers of Charles Manson kill White's aunt in 1969. White's family told investigators that during her childhood and adult life, White blamed her mother for the death of her aunt, Rosemary La Bianca, who was the sister of White's father. Rosemary La Bianca and her husband, Leno, were stabbed to death in August 1969, in their Los Angeles home. Followers of Charles Manson were convicted of the murders. Evidence didn't support White's allegations, however, and Dorman was never charged in connection with the La Biancas' deaths.
