Episode 610 - The Black Dahlia Anniversary

On January 15th, 1947, the mutilated body of Elizabeth Short was found in Leimert Park, a public space located in South Los Angeles. Someone had performed an hemicorporectomy, the act of cutting a body in half at a specific point of the body. The woman who first spotted the body out in the open thought it was a mannequin, mostly because the skin color was so pale, a result of Short’s fluids and blood being completely drained from her body. In this Anniversary edition we speak with case expert Steve Hodel, a retired detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. Not only is Hodel entrenched in the case, he also has a personal connection.
