In this episode of Dead Case Files, we revisit one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history: the brutal killing of Elizabeth Short, known to the world as the Black Dahlia. Found mutilated in Los Angeles in 1947, her case captivated the nation and sparked a media frenzy that persists to this day. We walk through the timeline, examine the key suspects, explore the cultural obsession, and discuss why—despite decades of theories and investigations—the case remains open.
Was it a crime of passion, a serial killer, or something darker rooted in the underbelly of post-war Hollywood?
