Elizabeth Short, born July 29, 1924, in Hyde Park in Boston was the middle child of 5 daughters born to Cleo and Phoebe Mae. Her father’s car was found abandoned on the Charlestown Bridge. Everyone thought he committed suicide leaving Phoebe to raise her 5 daughters alone until Elizabeth and her mother saw her father on a street in Medford, MA. After the shock of seeing a dad that was supposed to be dead, she later wrote him requesting to live with him in California. She wanted to take care of him. That decision would trigger a chain of events that ended up with her dead. Her body cut in half and posed provocatively in a field down the street from a middle class neighborhood.
