The Black Dahlia Murder Case

Hey there Stranger!

I have always been interested in mysteries like ghosts, aliens, and most especially unsolved/ mysterious murder cases. So for my first blog EVER, I just want to share to you guys this fascinating and intriguing story that I have read months ago, I don’t know if you have already read it, or if you are familiar with this. But I am pretty sure that this is a very popular story that has been circulating the internet.

This blog entry is entirely dedicated to Elizabeth Short (July 29, 1924 – January 15, 1947). While growing up, she has developed a strong passion for film. She lived in Los Angeles, California and she worked as a waitress to support herself. She has always dreamed of making a name in Hollywood. But her dream has never become a reality.

On January 15, 1947, Elizabeth was found brutally murdered; she was only 22 years old when she died. She was found nude and cut in half, she was gravely mutilated, some parts of her flesh were removed, and her blood was completely drained.

She became famous but not the way that she would have wanted it to be. Her case was greatly covered by the media. Her murder case was the news headline for several newspapers for months. The press nicknamed her as the “Black Dahlia” to make her story more appealing to the public. There have been several false murder confessions regarding her case but all of it lack evidence. Until now, the Black Dahlia’s murderer/s was never found. Her murder case remains to be one of the most famous and oldest case files in Los Angeles.

There have been several books and films that were written regarding her murder case.
