A murder Case That Has Haunted Us for Almost Eighty Years Black Dahlia. Carl talks with William Mann Every one has heard about Black Dahlia. It is a term bathed in mystery and mystique, but few know anything about the murder it is based on. In 1947, Elizabeth Short was killed, and her body was completely drained of blood and severed in two. Her cheeks were slit diagonally ear to ear. The crime propelled the press, and the LA Detective’s office to search and accuse anyone who might have done the terrible crime. But no one was charged. William Manna New York Times best selling author and Poe award-winning crime writer, took up the case. He combed through the police reports and witness statements to give us all the suspicions and misconceptions that propelled a rapacious press and Hollywood to invent a myth. But the difference is that Mann believes he discovered the real murderer. He has written an account that will be the definitive source about the murder. It is not only a retelling of a horrible crime, but of a time that produced an unusual woman. Listen in on this fascinating discussion.
