I have spoken with several of Nonnie's classmates from Overland High School in Colorado, where she graduated in 1991. All of them described her as stable and "happy go-lucky." None of them believe Nonnie would disappear of her own free will. "Nonnie loves her family," one friend said. Adding, "she would never intentionally put them through something like this. It is not something Nonnie would even consider."
Investigators in Texas are supposed to speak with Nonnie's ex-boyfriend and the father of her child, Edward Vehle, 53, sometime today. Earlier today I spoke with a friend of Nonnie's from Texas and this is what the friend had this to say about Vehle:
"(Vehle) has never wanted anything to do with the baby, often only referring to her as 'it.' The only time he put up a fight for custody was when he was trying to use that as leverage to get his support payments lowered. I am told that his behavior during the court proceedings was so bad his attorney had to apologize to the court for him. Nonnie often seemed to fear for her safety because of this man, sometimes saying that she has been followed."

While everyone I have spoken with seems to agree that Vehle treated Nonnie badly after he found out she was pregnant, there is nothing currently linking him to her disappearance and the authorities have not named him as a suspect. That, along with the fact that they were thousands of miles apart at the time of her disappearance, makes it less likely, although not impossible, that he was involved. It seems more likely that someone she met through one of the Internet dating websites she frequented might have abducted her. That, or her disappearance could have been a crime of opportunity. A predator could have nabbed her during her walk to the shopping center.
Unfortunately, until Nonnie is found we may never have the answers to these questions. Her family is already beginning to prepare for the worst. Just last week her mother provided DNA samples to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, in the event it is later needed for identification purposes.
Police have no new leads in the disappearance of the 33-year-old Air Force nurse. There have been no recent activities on her credit cards and she has not tried to contact friends or relatives. Nonnie's family is desperate to find out what happened to her on Nov. 19th and most importantly, where she is now
Anyone with information about the disappearance of Nonnie Dotson should call the Jefferson County Sheriff's tip line 303-271-5612.
