The Black Dahlia is one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history, but how much of what you've heard is actually true?
In Part 1 of our deep dive into the Black Dahlia case, we separate fact from fiction as we explore the life of Elizabeth Short, the young woman behind the headlines. Long before the world knew her as the Black Dahlia, Elizabeth was a daughter, a dreamer, and a woman trying to build a life for herself in post-war America.
Join us as we examine her early life, her travels across the country, her relationships, and the events leading up to her disappearance. We also explore the shocking discovery of her body in Los Angeles on January 15, 1947, and unpack the myths that have surrounded the case for nearly eighty years.
From the origins of the "Black Dahlia" nickname to the media frenzy that followed her murder, we'll separate documented facts from decades of speculation. Before we dive into the countless suspect theories, we're starting where every investigation should begin: with Elizabeth herself.
