What Most Likely Happened: The Black Dahlia Killing

from Bad Things: True Crime · host Bad Things

In January 1947, the mutilated body of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short was discovered in a vacant lot in Los Angeles — severed in half and posed in a way that shocked the nation. The press dubbed her The Black Dahlia, and the case quickly became one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history. Over the decades, hundreds of suspects, false confessions, and sensational theories have emerged, but no one has ever been convicted. In this episode, we cut through media myth, police corruption, and decades of speculation to uncover what most likely happened to Elizabeth Short — the Black Dahlia. Hosted on Acast.
