The Black Dahlia: Part 1 - Who was Elizabeth Short?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2403408/fan_mail/new] You've all heard about the "Black Dahlia" case, but do you really know the story behind the actual woman who was brutally mutilated and murdered in Los Angeles in 1947? Today we explore the background of Elizabeth Short; a charismatic, beautiful and sultry budding actress whose career and life were tragically cut short by a monster who has, to this day, never been identified. In the first of this two part series, we talk about where Elizabeth came from, the discovery of her mutilated corpse, and the initial investigation into one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases in American history.
