Perhaps one of the most well known Cold Cases in American History is the murder and mutilation of Elizabeth Short, or as she is probably better known: The Black Dahlia. This week, the CCC dives into the case, re-telling Elizabeth’s story, discussing known facts and debunking common myths that are often mistaken for fact. We also explore the primary suspect in the Dahlia case, Dr. George Hill Hodel. It’s a story whose headlines were written for Hollywood. Join Ashley, Beth and Whitney as they share The Black Dahlia: The Murder of Elizabeth Short, a 1947 Cold Case local to Los Angeles, California.
