Dottie's son, Thurman, was a drug addict and a thief. He was killed while robbing a liquor store, and was buried at a cemetery in Farmington. Dottie used all her life insurance money on the funeral expenses.

Dottie also had a brief relationship with Henry.

Season 1[]

After Dottie and Henry broke up, the cemetery called her to tell her that her son's body had been stolen. She later received several calls asking for a $10,000 ransom in exchange for the body.

When she called the police, Officers Danny Sofer and Julien Lowe arrived. After realizing they were looking for a dead person, Sofer left but Julien stayed with Dottie. When she received another call, she realized that the caller was her ex-boyfriend, Henry. He was arrested and taken to the Barn.
