Elizabeth Short was one of five girls born to Cleo Alvin Short Jr. and Phoebe May Sawyer on July 29th, 1924 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. At the age of 15, Elizabeth she was suffering from bronchitis and severe asthma attacks, so she had to undergo surgery. After the successful surgery the doctors did recommend that she relocate to a milder climate in order to prevent any further respiratory problems. For the rest of her life, she lived in different state such as Florida, Massachusetts, and California. In 1947, after a short trip to San Diego, she made her way back to Los Angeles getting dropped off at the Biltmore Hotel never to be seen alive again. Elizabeth Short is dubbed the Black Dahlia, and her case has been unsolved for more than 75 years.
