The old Dragnet radio show from 1949 to 1957 even had an episode based on this case. It’s a really interesting one for sure.
so what was it?
Me too- seen a movie or 2 based on the case-
There are as many suspects in this murder as there are in the “Jack The Ripper “ murders. It’s about as gruesome too. The absolute truth beyond a reasonable doubt for either case after all these years seems pretty unrealistic. I have my opinion and my thoughts on motive, but it’s still a guess.
I’m not going to search for it, but I thought some guy provided rather good evidence his father, a doctor, was the killer.
Popular Mechanics?
Ofc. Matthew Gordon was a P-51 pilot stationed in Burma in WWII. My dad was the Chief Engineering Officer of the 1st Sqd. 2Nd Air Commandos and new Gordon well. He got letters from Short frequently. At the end of the war Gordon intentionally flew his P-51 into the ground. No suicide note was found, but there is little doubt that he did this intentionally.
Obviously, Gordon wasn’t the killer of Short. My Dad passed on his interest in the case to me.
What’s the “chilling batch of new evidence”?
“Folk singer Woody Guthrie was also questioned in the Black Dahlia murder investigation, due to obscene sexual letters he had been mailing to other women during a mental health episode, according to Black Dahlia, Red Rose.”
Woody we hardly knew he.
The conviction grows day by day that they’re all fecking perverts. All of them.
