The Anniversary of the Unsolved Murder of “The Black Dahlia”
Who killed Elizabeth Short all those years ago?
*Given the age of the high-profile case and extensive details surrounding it, this will just serve as a brief reminder that another anniversary has come (and gone) regarding it.
Today marks 74 years since the body of a murder victim, Elizabeth Short, also known as “The Black Dahlia,” was found in a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California in a notably horrific state. Sadly, to this day, in spite of how truly well-known her case has become since, her murder remains unsolved as far as who exactly was behind it and why.
Who was Elizabeth?
Before she posthumously became better known as the “The Black Dahlia” thanks, in part, to the media at the time, Elizabeth was an American woman who was a native to Boston. The early years of her life were spent in Medford, Massachusetts, and Florida before she later relocated to California, where her father resided. Although it is commonly believed that Elizabeth aspired to become an actress in life, she evidently had no acting credits or jobs during her time in Los Angeles.
