Re: Crime Scene Pictures From The Black Dahlia Murder
Whoever did it must of hated her. The over-kill is crazy. Hopfully she died of her head injuries and not getting tortured to death slowly.

Re: Crime Scene Pictures From The Black Dahlia Murder
having since found this site i have been neglecting some of the other sites i used to frequent; looking back now i see they got new or updated photos of the black dahlia @ this source. http://poetry.rotten.com/black-dahlia/ here they are, with some more ive found- & a bit of back story~ it is unlikely that anyone would now know the name of elizabeth short, if not for the appalling circumstances of her death. born in poverty in hhyde park, mass on 29th july 1924, she moved to santa barbara where she was notcied becase of her habit of always wearing black and was nicknamed the black dahlia. promises of a screen career never devoloped and she became a prostitute. in december 1946 she became a lesbian for brief period but decided she wanted to find a man, settle down, and raise a family. then she told her friend she had fallen for a man she only called 'Red'. on the morning of 15th jan 1947 betty bersinger and her 3 year old daugher were out for an early morning stroll when they came across the bisected torso of a naked woman. when the police examined the remains of the woman they noted that the face had been slashed and the mouth cut on each side so that it resembled a huge grin. the breats, thjighs, and arms all had been cut and rope burns were apparent on her wrists and ankles. there were cigarette burns all over the body and the letters BD had been carved into one thigh. the lower half of the body was in a recumbered position. elizabeth shorts body had been drained of blood, washed and then dumped where it was found.. in the aftermath on jan 21 1947 jimmy richardson, the city editor of the los angeles herald examiner recived a phone call from someone claiming to have killed elizabeth short. "im going to turn myself in but i want the cops to chase me some more. you can expect some souvenirs of beth short in the mail." not long afterward an envelope arrived contained short;s birth certificate and her address book containing the named of more than 70 admirers. police began to systematically check through them. another item arrived witha a note saying 'dahlia killing justified'. it was to be the last contact. police tracked down robert 'red' manley who at first denied knowing elizabeth, then confessed he did know her but nothing had happened between them and he had not seen her since 8th jan. he was released and in 1954 his wife had him commited to an asylum. police questioned more than 400 suspects and numerous cranks confessed.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |
