True Crime Tuesday Presents Voices From The Grave with Executive Producer/Investigator, Katrina Weidman, & Show Creator/Producer/Director/Alisa Statman! Voices From The Grave WHERE GENRES COLLIDE In this new true crime and paranormal series, Voices From the Grave are calling out…and one team is working to help them. Los Angeles has always had a dark history . Perhaps its darkest secrets lie in 45 infamous and unsolved murders that occurred between 1945 and 1970... The locations investigated are far more than structures ... They connect a web of crime far more gruesome than the murders that occurred within... they expose  a labyrinth of linked, horrific crimes, committed in legendary locations during Los Angeles' most disreputable era.  Using both traditional police and forensic investigation methods and live spirit communication, we reveal the most prolific killers never known. On Today's Show, we sit down with Alisa and Katrina to talk about this unique mixture of the True Crime and Paranormal Investigation genres and how Alisa first brought this concept together.  Why the Sowden House, The Los Feliz House, and The Black Dahlia all became the subject of this series.... The importance of Frank Lloyd Wright and the intention of his architecture to the murders that George Hodel committed, and why people want to deny the fact that George Hodel was the killer in the Black Dahlia case and people keep copying Steve Hodel's theories!

Breaking news in a mystery we've been investigating for months: 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard has been found dead in Utah — and the suspect is her mother. Ashlee Buzzard is charged with first-degree murder and held without bail. “Banfield” has exclusive video of the arrest, plus an inside look at the Buzzards' home. Plus, new developments have been made in the cruise ship death of teen cheerleader Anna Kepner, who was reportedly found stuffed under the bed in her cabin. No arrests have been made, but newly revealed text messages could change everything, and you'll see them here. And a chilling new theory: were the Zodiac Killer and the Black Dahlia murderer the same man? One idea that could crack two of the most infamous true crime cases in history.Ashleigh Banfield is *the* definitive authority on the nation`s biggest true crime stories. A veteran award-winning journalist, Ashleigh brings a sharp focus to the crime stories gripping America, distilling facts and analyzing context in a way which captures viewers` interests and imaginations.

On today’s Gary and Shannon Show, the team explores a startling true crime claim making waves online: a modern codebreaker believes he may have identified a single suspect responsible for both the Black Dahlia murder and the Zodiac killings.

In this episode, I kick off Christmas week with a smooth commute from Brandon, scarfing down an energy drink after a late night of show prep. We dive into holiday meats—I'm ditching ham and turkey for ribeyes at family gatherings, loving the sides like green bean casserole. Share your go-to dishes on the text line. I offer solid advice: raise your personal standards right now to make goals achievable and life better—it's transformed mine by cutting out negativity. Shoutout to donors who helped raise $1,500 for local animal shelters, covering 12 adoptions; ignore the haters accusing me of ulterior motives—transparency matters. Address critics who say I don't do positive work: shining light on culture rot and thugs is positive, as is fundraising for disasters and sick kids. No sympathy for chronic bad choices like homelessness from drugs—I've seen it up close. Fascinating update: Zodiac Killer and Black Dahlia murders linked to one suspect, Marvin Merrill. Wrap with JD Vance affirming it's okay to be white, calling out anti-white discrimination in DEI that boxes out talent and worsens society—facts over guilt. Joined by Andrew Gasser for real talk on racism, trans issues, and black fatigue from unchecked demands like reparations. Unfiltered reality to start your day strong.

In January 1947, the bisected body of Elizabeth Short, completely drained of blood, was discovered in an undeveloped lot in Los Angeles. Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity, city-wide panic, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD—all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years.Six years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away, another woman's life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious, educated, popular, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm, she was heiress to her Kansas City family's status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941, Leila's butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma. One victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets. My guest is Emmy-nominated producer Eli Frankel. He has spent years researching the Black Dahlia case and makes a very convincing argument for his suspect in his recently published book, "SISTERS IN DEATH: The Black Dahlia, The Prairie Heiress & Their Hunter".

Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity, city-wide panic, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD—all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years.Six years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away, another woman's life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious, educated, popular, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm, she was heiress to her Kansas City family's status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941, Leila's butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma.One victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets.Eli Frankel reveals for the first time a key fact about the Black Dahlia crime scene, never before shared with the public, that leads inexorably to the stunning identification of a criminal who was at the same time amateurish and fiendish, skilled and lucky, sophisticated and brutish. Drawing on newly discovered documents, law enforcement files, interviews with the last surviving participants, the victims' own letters, trial transcripts, military records, and more, this epic true-crime saga puts together the missing pieces of a legendary puzzle.In Sisters in Death, the Black Dahlia cold case is finally closed.

(ADV) Shopify: ⁠⁠http://shopify.it/crimeandcomedy⁠ Elizabeth Short era una bella ragazza in cerca di una stabilità che non avrebbe mai trovato. Il suo errore è stata cercarla in una serie di uomini sbagliati, come lo era suo padre, e in un posto come Los Angeles che di angelico ha solo il nome. Infatti, una fredda mattina di gennaio, Elizabeth è stata trovata brutalmente uccisa in un campo a Los Angeles, tagliata in due di netto e varie altre ferite. La polizia non riuscirà mai a risolvere l'omicidio, i giornali ci si butteranno sopra come cani rabbiosi creando il mito della Black Dahlia. Da lì nascerà la leggenda, con tanti sospetti e nessun vero colpevole. --------- Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcomedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeandcomedy.podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Telegram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.me/crimeandcomedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sito: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crimeandcomedy.it⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: Clara Campi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/claracampicomedy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Marco Champier: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mrchreddy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Editing - Ilaria Giangrande: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ilaria.giangrande/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Caricature - Giorgio Brambilla: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/giorgio_brambilla_bookscomedy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tutti i Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.chtbl.com/CrimeandComedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Capitoli: (00:00:00) | Intro (00:00:35) | Sigla (00:00:49) | Ringraziamenti Patreon (00:03:57) | Il corpo di Elizabeth Short, la Black Dahlia, sembra un manichino "manichino" (00:14:02) | Shopify (00:16:06) | Elizabeth Short una vita per diventare la Black Dahlia (00:43:12) | Le indagini e le ipotesi sull'omicidio di Elizabeth Short, la Black Dahlia (01:17:46) | Il caso della Black Dahlia diventa un cold case e Elizabeth Short non avrà mai giustizia (02:00:37) | I nostri Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

In this bonus episode, Esther takes listeners back to the earliest days of the Black Dahlia investigation — before the world even knew the victim's name.Detectives faced a gruesome and mystifying crime scene in a quiet Los Angeles neighborhood. Who was the young woman whose body had been staged so deliberately? And who could have committed such a shocking crime?Using witness statements, police reports, and historical accounts, Esther reveals how investigators built their first list of suspects — and how each was eventually ruled out.From Elizabeth Short's friends and lovers to shady landlords and reluctant witnesses, these early leads laid the groundwork for a case that would haunt Los Angeles for decades.

Welcome back for Part 2 of this MACABRE Feature. The Black Dahlia , A City of Suspects. As Los Angeles reeled from the Black Dahlia case, the investigation exploded into a frenzy of false leads, confessions, and high-profile suspects. In Part Two, we walk into the chaos that followed — the detectives, the tabloids, the theories, and the men who suddenly found themselves in the crosshairs. Some were legitimate. Some were liars. Some just wanted the attention. And one of them might just be the killer.

As with many cities throughout the world, Los Angeles has a long and troubled history of crime. The Black Dahlia, Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez (the infamous "Night Stalker")...these are just some of the most notorious criminal cases that have taken place in the so-called City of Angels. But long before these, even before its days as a lawless Wild West town, Los Angeles was home to one of the earliest, if not THE earliest, crimes ever committed within what are now LA City limits. Join me this week as we venture back to Prehistoric LA to discover the sordid tale of the La Brea Woman.

***Listen to the full episode and whole series on PATREON***It's 2001 in Y2K Hollywood — a world of TV stars, Maxim covers, and after-hours in the Hills. A young woman, Ashley Ellerin, is murdered by the man who would become known as the Hollywood Ripper. Around her, a new generation of idols is rising — and one predator is hiding in the shadows, while another hides in plain sight.This episode traces the machinery that protects men like Danny Masterson — Scientology's cover ups. The Hollywood system that shields it's money makers.When the Me Too movement finally tears through decades of denial, karma's underground current finally reaches the open ocean.From Elizabeth Short to Ashley Ellerin to Chrissy Bixler, this is the Black Dahlia, and Los Angeles — a city that's always worshipped Gods of it's own making.

In 1946, Elizabeth Short – the young woman the world would later know as The Black Dahlia – returned to California chasing love, glamour, and a new beginning. Instead, she found herself drifting through a postwar Los Angeles filled with promise, danger, and people who would soon become key figures in one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history.In this episode, we follow Beth — now calling herself Betty — from Long Beach to Hollywood and finally to San Diego in the final weeks before her disappearance. Along the way, she crosses paths with men who offer affection and opportunity, but whose motives aren't always as pure as they seem.From the glitzy Florentine Gardens nightclub to the humble home of the French family, this chapter reveals the pattern that defined Elizabeth's life: charm and tragedy, hope and heartbreak, played out against the glittering — and unforgiving — backdrop of midcentury Los Angeles.About This SeriesBROKEN: The Black Dahlia Murder is a six-part Once Upon a Crime original series. Through extensive research, historical records, and firsthand accounts, Esther Ludlow uncovers the truth behind America's most infamous unsolved murder, separating fact from fiction to rediscover the real woman behind the myth.

Eli Frankel, award-winning documentarian, spent five years investigating the Black Dahlia case, where a 22 year-old Elizabeth Short was sawed in half and left in a field outside Los Angeles. He believes the case is solved, alongside a much-lesser known cold case in St. Louis. Frankel, author of 'Sisters in Death,' discusses his findings here with Christy Strawser.

True Crime Tuesday presents: Sisters In Death: The Black Dahlia, The Prairie Heiress, and Their Hunter with Producer/ Network Executive/Director/Creator/Author. Eli Frankel! Who killed the Black Dahlia? In this eye-opening shocker, an award-winning producer, true-crime researcher, and Hollywood insider finally solves the greatest - and most gruesome - murder mystery of the twentieth century just before its 80th anniversary. In January 1947, the bisected body of Elizabeth Short, completely drained of blood, was discovered in an undeveloped lot in Los Angeles. Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity, city-wide panic, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD—all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years. Six years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away, another woman's life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious, educated, popular, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm, she was heiress to her Kansas City family's status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941, Leila's butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma. One victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets. On Today's TCT, Eli Frankel joins us to talk about why he believes he has found the definitive killer in the Black Dahlia case after five grueling years of research. Eli also makes his case and draws the parallels between the two girls, not just in the similar ways they were killed, but in the one person they had in common that they both knew! and another interesting theory comes up during the show as to why the Black Dahlia Case stalled out and went cold!

On a chilly January morning in 1947, officers arrived to what they were told was "a broken mannequin" lying in a field.  They discovered instead, the body of a woman cut completely in half at the waist. She lay naked and drained of blood, her two halves a foot apart, arms draped almost elegantly over her head. Yikes, right? Nearly 80 years later, the case remains both unforgotten and unsolved.  Join Dawn and guest, Kaycee Conlee, as they explore the crime scene and sort through the suspects. ---

To hear the full episode subscribe HEREThe Black Dahlia murder shocked postwar America and ignited a media frenzy that reduced her to pulp headlines and grotesque speculation. The LAPD's bungled investigation faded into silence, until the incest trial of George Hodel thrust the Dahlia's specter back into the spotlight.In episode 3 of This Body, we trace a line from Elizabeth Short's depersonalized body in Leimert Park through Tamar Hodel's testimony, and into the next generation of Hollywood daughters: Michele and Chynna Phillips, Mackenzie Phillips, and Bijou Phillips.From Chinatown to Lolita, from the Mamas and the Papas to Scientology, this is a story of how Los Angeles devours its daughters, and how some live to tell the tale.

On January 15, 1947, Elizabeth Short's mutilated body was found severed in half in a vacant Los Angeles lot, launching Hollywood's most infamous unsolved murder case that would forever brand her as "The Black Dahlia." Nearly 80 years later, guests at the Biltmore Hotel still report encountering a desperate woman in a black dress on the sixth floor — the last place Elizabeth Short was seen alive, where her ghost may still be searching for someone to finally solve her brutal murder.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Elizabeth Short was brutally murdered in Los Angeles in 1947, her body cut in half and severely mutilated.

What type of person belongs to the Saturn Death Cult? Could Prince Phillip's comments to charity ladies be any indication? When billionaires like Hilton and Rothchild get married can we see this cult's obsession with the "Golden Age"? Troy McLachlan lays out how the ancient past laid the foundation for a group of greedy slave masters convinced the world to create an Utopia for them upon the seat of our backs. Learn how this relates to the Eye in the Pyramid and the Electric Universe. Visit SaturnDeathCult.com The mainstream leads us to the acceptance of Trauma-based Mind Control. Can we achieve a new Golden Age with exploration and expansion of our minds? What is the simple truth about money and how are the Banking Elite riding on our backs, treating us as slaves, and creating the Myth of Authority? Are The Elite actually in control? How much power does the Common Man hold? Mind control comes straight through Hollywood and the Black Dahlia case is an early example of Satanic Ritual Abuse and the conclusion that Serial Killers as "Fall Guys" for the Baby-Eating Elite. Troy McLachlan is a British national brought up in New Zealand and earned a bachelor's degree in Asian and American politics before embarking on an advertising and television/film industry career. Inspired by the cosmology of the Electric Universe hypotheses and its ability to provide rational and natural explanations for the mythological record, Troy recognized that the god Saturn plays an important role in some of the world's more deviant esoteric traditions. He wrote the website and kindle-book "The Saturn Death Cult" as an attempt to forge a link between the implications of "Saturn Theory" and its detrimental effect on the beliefs of certain Saturnian-based occult groups and agendas.
