STORY PREFACE Elizabeth Short photo, taken in October of 1946, part of the police investigation into her death. Online courtesy Steve Hodel (author of Black Dahlia Avenger).
Witnesses last saw Elizabeth Short, a beautiful 22-year-old woman, leaving the Biltmore Hotel at around 10:00 p.m. on January 9, 1947. She was not seen again until a passerby found her mutilated body one week later. (The link is a 21-minute black/white documentary on the case.)
