DESCRIPTION

In January 1947, 22-year-old Elizabeth Short was found brutally murdered in Los Angeles — a crime so shocking it became one of the most infamous cold cases in American history. Dubbed the “Black Dahlia” by the press, her story spiraled into a frenzy of rumors, suspects, and sensational headlines that blurred the line between fact and legend.

In this episode, we trace Elizabeth’s life from Boston to Hollywood, unpack the chaotic investigation, examine the suspects (from drifters to doctors to powerful men of Hollywood), and explore the theories — including possible ties to other murders across the country. We’ll also dive into how her story transformed into a cultural myth, fueling ghost stories, conspiracy theories, and a fascination that hasn’t faded in nearly 80 years.

Elizabeth Short was more than a headline. And today, we remember her as we unravel one of true crime’s darkest and most enduring mysteries.
