Episode 53 Charles Hollingsworth
Charles Hollingsworth seemed to have it all.
He was a doctor with a successful medical practice in South Lake
Tahoe, Nevada. He was married with 2 daughters, and lived an
adventurous lifestyle with a love of jet skiing, running, and the
outdoors. From all outward appearances, life was good for the 6ft1
doctor with 1950's movie star-leading man-like looks. But 1970 was
a rough year for the 38 year-old.
His marriage had fallen apart, and his wife finally left him after
years of his infidelities. His wife found new love, but Charles
found himself living alone. He was battling financial problems, and
his family believed he had undiagnosed Manic Depression. On October
26, 1970, Charles left his office following an argument and was
never seen again. His car was found abandoned in a desolate area 24
miles from where he was last seen. Inside the car were several of
his belongings, including his gun and running shoes, but there was
no sign of Charles, and he was never seen again.
His case has been linked by some as possibly being connected to the
missing persons case of Donna Lass. Lass, a nurse at a South Lake
Tahoe casino, had moved into an apartment less than a mile from
Charles Hollingsworth's apartment, just a day before she vanished
on September 6, 1970.
Charles Hollingsworth was declared legally dead, seven years after
he vanished, but his family wants to know the truth about what
happened to him, and they haven't totally ruled out the possibility
that he left his old life behind to start over. In this episode,
his daughter Kathy discusses her father's case, and the details
surrounding his disappearance.
