Inhuman: A True Crime Podcast

Dorothy Jane Scott was a 32-year-old single mother from Anaheim, California, whose mysterious disappearance and murder in 1980 remain unsolved to this day. On May 28, she vanished after leaving a hospital where she had taken a coworker for treatment—her car was later found burning in an alley, but she was nowhere to be found. For years, Dorothy’s family received chilling phone calls from an anonymous man who claimed to love her and admitted to killing her, revealing details only the killer could know. In 1984, her charred remains were discovered near Santa Ana Canyon Road, but the cause of death could not be determined. Despite an extensive investigation and haunting clues, no suspect was ever identified.

In 2007, Tiffany Rubin, a special education teacher from Queens, New York, was sharing joint custody of her 6-year-old son, Kobe Lee, with her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Lee.

Tiffany flew to South Korea with the help of some amazing people with the American Association for Lost Children, after receiving a tip via her MySpace page from a local teacher who had seen Kobe.
