On January 15, 1947, a woman walking her child in Los Angeles stumbled upon something that would haunt her for the rest of her life. What she thought was a broken mannequin turned out to be the brutally mutilated body of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short — a young woman who had come to Hollywood with nothing but a dream.
