In 1947, 22-year-old Elizabeth Short was found murdered and mutilated in a vacant Los Angeles lot — her body severed, drained of blood, and posed with disturbing precision. The press called her The Black Dahlia. The world called her unforgettable.
Who killed her? And why has her case remained unsolved for over 75 years?
In this extended episode of Buried Whispers, we take you deep into the life and death of Elizabeth Short — from her dreams of stardom to the chilling discovery of her body… and the trail of suspects, scandals, and secrets that followed.
Was it Dr. George Hodel, the powerful L.A. physician with a twisted past? Or someone else hiding behind the glitz of postwar Hollywood?
Uncover the real story behind America’s most haunting unsolved murder — where fact, fiction, and obsession collide.
