For fans of True Crime stories...
This one fascinated me as well. I don’t think he quit after this as there are several other murders not exactly like this in this time period.
Meandering but interesting. Thanks for posting.
The article claims they are the same guy. They quote retired LAPD detective, Rick Jackson, a man I went to school with, and trust.
Good post. The article was a good read. I’ve read a lot about the Short murder. My comment is that evil is territorial. And the PURE EVIL of this crime strikes me as much as trying to figure out the who.
During WWII there was a pilot in my Dad’s P-51 squadron who dated Short several times. The pilot and Short continued to correspond while the squadron was in India and Burma.
Because of that my Dad was always interested in her murder. I’ve followed the story and many of the twists and turns for a long time.
I found the TV series “I Am The Night” captivating.

Today, the site of the crime is a mostly black residential neighborhood of single-family homes. Kim’s Restaurant, located about two blocks away, serves Korean and Chinese food, including traditional Cantonese cuisine, which is getting hard to find.
