Has anyone notified James Ellroy??? Why? The guy only wrote a novel that was based on the murder, but so did Max Allan Collins.
Truth is, we will never know who Elizabeth Short's killer was.

Ellroy's mother was also murdered, I believe in the early 1950s. The crime was never solved. At a reading of LA Confidential in 1998, James Ellroy said that he has always wondered if the same person could have killed his mother and Short. He admitted this was unlikely, as there was no similarity between the two crimes. Clearly the parallels between his mother and Short fascinate him.
