Welcome to Season 3 - Episode 1, Part 1!

Happy Halloween!

We’re back with Season 3, and kicking things off with one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history: the Black Dahlia murder and it's a two-parter! Join me as we dive deep into the twisted story of Steve Hodel and his investigation into his own father, George Hodel—a man Steve believes was responsible for the brutal slaying of Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia. This episode explores the chilling clues, dark secrets, and tangled web of crime, conspiracy, and corruption that surrounds this decades-old mystery!

The poison in this episode is the Black Dahlia.

If you want to drink with me, you need vodka, Angostura bitters, lime juice, simple syrup, and black currant liquer.

The recipe for the Black Dahlia is as follows:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz black currant liqueur
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 dash of bitters
  • Garnish with a black cherry

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled glass, and enjoy while we dig into the dark corners of Los Angeles’ most notorious cold case.

Enjoy!

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
