On January 15th, 1947 the remains of a body was Elizabeth Short was called " Black Dahlia" she was discovered by Betty Bersinger in Los Angelos, the body was cut in half and was drained of blood that Betty thought she was a mannequin because of how pale and drained of blood she was, the body was cut with medical tools that left no problems with the bones and organs, as her face was cut from her mouth to her ears to form a hunting smile, there was no blood found on the ground which means the body was moved after she was killed.
A short discovery after 9 days happened which was as an envelope was sent to the examiner as the letters were cutouts of the magazine to form a sentence which started with "Los Angelos examiner and other Los Angelos papers, here is Dahila's belongings letter to follow" as the envelope contained security card, Birth certificate, snapshots, and old address book and some pages are missing, as gas was rubbed on the envelope to remove any fingerprints.
Many notes have been sent to the police by that guy and even stated "Turning In Wed Jan 29, Had my fun with police, Black Dahlia Avenger."
Before she arrived in LA, she spent some time with a guy called Robert Manley as he drove her and check her in the Biltmore hotel, people stated that this was the last place that this woman has been seen alive, as people think that the hotel is haunted because they have seen her disappearing into the wall with a black dress as mostly seen in the 10th and 11th floor. Other people claim that Crown grill bar is the last seen for Dahlia as its now called club galaxy.
the First suspect was Robert Manly as he returned to San Diego before her body was discovered and passed a polygraph test but the weird is that in 1954 he was committed to a mental hospital due to hearing voices, Secord suspect was Joseph Dumais which he claimed that he blackout drunk with her before she was discovered as when he got asked by the police if she murdered her he said yes but evidence stated that he was on his military the day she died, the Last one is George Hodel which was a suspect due to his room having a secret room as the interesting part is that his son who was 5 when Dahlia died later one became police investigator as he was totally convinced that his father killed Dahlia because he was highly intelligent and studied in medical school and had a clinic.
The son has found pictures of the Black Dahlia in one of the photo albums but when examined by a forensic artist he stated that 85% that she wasn't Dahlia but in 2014 a facial technology expert examined and said that its 90% match as the handwriting was close to the letters that were sent to the police, Hodel was accused as well from his own daughter that he was assaulting her but found nonguilty, people think that George has paid the police at the time because the police were corrupted at that time because all details and evidence were gone.
When Hodel returned he came back with a police dog that smelled the remains of human remains as soil samples were taken from the ally and came back positive of human remains, but the police didn't continue with this case for some reason, as that's why it became unsolved murder.
