  • Episode 11: Hotel room horrors and an Exquisite Corpse - (The Black Dahlia Murder, part 2)

     

    On January 15th, 1947, Elizabeth Short's dead, mutilated body was found in a vacant lot just steps away from the sidewalk. Elizabeth was naked, battered and cut cleanly in half at the waist... and that is where we left off in part one

    From the look of it a doctor had clearly been involved in this murder, but this was surely not a case of surgery gone wrong, this was a purposeful act. But who would do such a thing, and why? The answers to these questions have taken WWBD on a wild ride that we share with you this week in the second installment of our exploration of The Black Dahlia murder. WWBD takes a deep dive into two major theories and touches on some of the other, more fanciful suspects.

  • Episode 10 - Bloom and Wilt (The Black Dahlia Murder, part 1)

     

    On January 15th, 1947, Elizabeth Short's dead, mutilated body was found in a vacant lot just steps away from the sidewalk. Elizabeth was naked, battered and cut cleanly in half at the waist...But before we explore what happened to Elizabeth, it's only fair that we find out who she was. 

    It's our tenth episode, and you guys chose a doozie! This week WWBD begins the complicated story of Elizabeth Short, better known as "The Black Dahlia". This case might just be the most famous unsolved murder in the history of murders, in fact the LAPD still uses it as a teaching tool. In this first installment we will get to know Elizabeth and the situation in which she was found. Next week we will explore the crime scene, investigation, legal action and suspects.

  • Episode 9 - The Devil is in the Details (Annelise Michel)

    In July of 1976, in the small town of Klingenberg Germany, coroners arrived at the well appointed home of the Michel family. A young woman had died in her home, surrounded by the people she loved most. She had been ill, and there was clergy on hand who had delivered last rites. The case sounded cut and dry enough, and they didn't expect any complications. That is until they entered the room where the young woman lay dead. Something had gone horribly, horribly wrong. 

    This week WWBD explores the haunting story of the supposed demonic possession, exorcism, and negligent murder of Annelise Michel. Was Annelise possessed by demons, or was she simply a victim of misjudged mental and physical illness? Where do we draw the line between the spiritual and the physical? Whatever the answers may be, a young woman died horribly in the spaces between them, and we endeavor to explain why.
