The Red Lipstick Murder is a notorious unsolved case that gripped Los Angeles in the mid-20th century. The victim, Jeanne French, was found brutally murdered on February 10, 1947, in a vacant lot in the West Los Angeles area. The case is particularly remembered for the distinctive message scrawled in lipstick at the crime scene.

Jeanne French, a nurse and former pilot, suffered a violent death. Her body was discovered by a passing pedestrian, showing signs of severe beating. The most chilling aspect of the crime was the message written on her body and the ground with red lipstick, reading "B.D." and "Tex." This cryptic message led to widespread speculation about the identity and motive of the killer.

The murder occurred close on the heels of the infamous Black Dahlia case, another high-profile and unsolved Los Angeles murder involving Elizabeth Short. The similarities in the brutality of the crimes and the use of lipstick to leave a message sparked theories about a possible connection between the two cases. However, no definitive link was ever established.
