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.

15. jaanuaril 1947 leiti Los Angelese serval üks õõvastav vaatepilt: tühjal krundil lebas noore naise surnukeha, moonutatud ja pooleks lõigatud. Ta nimi oli Elizabeth Short. Ajakirjandus nimetas ta kiiresti "Mustaks Daaliaks" – hüüdnimi, mis kõlas glamuurse, kuid on traagilise varjundiga. Teda ei tuntud eluajal kuulsusena, kuid tema surm muutis ta legendiks. See on lugu kadunud unistustest, kõmulisest linnast ja saladusest, mida ei ole siiani suudetud lahendada. Head kuulamist!

In this special crossover, we're joined by sisters Rasha Pecoraro and Yvette Gentile of the So Supernatural podcast and Root of Evil — the true crime podcast exploring their connection to George Hodel, the prime suspect in the murder of Elizabeth Short, ‘The Black Dahlia'. What starts as a heartfelt conversation about their late mother's intuitive gifts quickly turns into an unforgettable dive into ghosts, goddesses, and generational hauntings. We talk Hawaiian spirits, ancestral protection, and personal hauntings, including encounters with Madame Pele, Night Marchers, and the chilling energy of the Sowden House. We also review listener-submitted ghost evidence in a new segment we are calling Caught Dead Handed, including chilling EVPs, apparitions, and a demonic figure that literally turns off the lights when it sees the camera. We finish with a palate cleanser, playing a few hilarious rounds of Paranormal Would You Rather. Whether you're here for the ghost stories, the sisterly chaos, or the deeper conversations about healing through the supernatural, this one hits every note.

We start this week in Brownwood, Texas where a murder tragic murder may have added additional paranormal energy to a property already rumored to be haunted. Then, is a spirit sending emails from the great beyond? A short and very strange confirmation-type tale that really makes you wonder what's possible. Lastly, we head to Los Angeles to explore the reportedly haunted Sowden House, where some think Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia, may have been murdered. And that her killer may haunt this location. Then we go to Lynze's side of the show for another three tales. First, we examine the power of the hat man. Can he change us and our destiny? Next up, a creepy haunted house vibe with a construction worker being not-so-alone during his work day. And lastly, the tale of a possible new creature to fear!

More from our sold out live in March. We have decades worth of unsolved mysteries and forgotten tragedies in our own backyards. In this continuation of our show at Off Cabot in Beverly, Mass, in March, we plunge into the case of Beryl Atherton—a 47-year-old schoolteacher brutally murdered in her Marblehead home during a 1950 Nor'easter, her throat cut in the sign of a cross. Decades later, her killer remains unidentified and her story largely untold. Beyond the details of these chilling cases lies a deeper exploration of how society treats victims of violent crime. Too often, especially with female victims, their characters become posthumously dissected and villainized—a disturbing pattern that continues from Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia, who grew up just miles away in Medford) to modern cases. This victim-blaming serves as a psychological buffer, allowing us to believe such horrors only happen to people who somehow "deserve" it. Audience members are welcome to share their connections to local crimes. We know these aren't just stories; they're lived experiences that have shaped neighborhoods and families across generations. Most importantly, this episode introduces the work of a new Massachusetts-based victim advocacy coalition formed alongside documentary filmmaker Melanie McLaughlin and forensic anthropologist Dr. Anne-Marie Myers. Our mission exemplifies what I call "everyday advocacy"—sharing accurate information, supporting grieving families, and refusing to sensationalize tragedy at the expense of human dignity.We learn from these unfiltered conversations is the importance of advocacy. The stories we tell about victims shape how we understand not just crime, but humanity itself. • Case of Beryl Atherton, a 47-year-old Marblehead teacher murdered in her home during a Nor'easter in 1950• Discussion of how crime victims are often villainized posthumously, particularly women• Introduction of a new Massachusetts-based victim advocacy coalition with Anngelle, documentary filmmaker Melanie McLaughlin, and forensic anthropologist Dr. Ann Marie Miers (MMMPAC)• Open Q&A covering lesser known cases and the controversy around the Karen Reid murder case and its impact on our communities.

They are the place our Creeps have mentioned before, that is adjacent to the old theater that once played Night of the Hunter, and they have a photo of that marquee hanging in their restaurant.Here's what we tried:Classic hotdogs with sauce, mustard, onions, and Ritzy's signature pink/red slaw!We also tried Mister Bee's new Mothman themed crinkle cut potato chips on the sideThen, Matt covers the twelve victims of the Torso Murders of the 1930's by an unidentified serial killer in Cleveland, Ohio. They also dive into the connections between these morsels and the murder of Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia killing. The details of the case are extremely graphic in nature, listener discretion is advised. If you would prefer to only tune in to the food portion of the show, Matt's story starts around nine minutes in.They also talk about classic WV dogs again, weird flavors, a Main Corpse Pool Day and the perfect summer snacks that would go with that, and discovering eats that are very local to you. Shoutout to Liz Pavlovic who recommended Ritzy to us oh so long ago, and our apologies if we said your name wrong, our Editor shares the pain of the long name...
Elizabeth Short grew up in Medford, Massachusetts. Her story has the most brutal of endings. Elizabeth's death has been twisted and exploited for nearly eight decades, transforming a young woman searching for her place in the world into the infamous "Black Dahlia." Beyond the gruesome headlines lies a more poignant truth – Elizabeth was simply searching for belonging in post-war America when her life was brutally cut short in January 1947.Elizabeth's story begins with abandonment during the Great Depression when her father faked his suicide, leaving her mother Phoebe to raise five daughters alone. Coming of age during World War II, Elizabeth witnessed profound social transformation as women entered the workforce and Hollywood's Golden Age created dreams of opportunity that drew her westward. Her nomadic existence in Los Angeles – moving between hotels, apartments, and boarding houses – reflected her struggle for stability in a city that promised much but delivered little.The medical precision of her murder points to a killer with anatomical knowledge, possibly connected to a medical school. Her body was bisected using a surgical technique called hemicorporectomy, completely drained of blood, and meticulously cleaned – all suggesting methodical expertise rather than frenzied violence. This clinical approach connects to a disturbing pattern of unsolved murders of women in Los Angeles between 1943-1949, raising questions about a possible serial killer targeting vulnerable women.Among the numerous suspects, Dr. George Hodel emerges as particularly compelling – a well-connected physician named as a prime suspect by a 1949 grand jury. His own son, former LAPD detective Steve Hodel, believes his father responsible not only for Elizabeth's murder but potentially for other unsolved cases from that era.Elizabeth deserves to be remembered as more than just a gruesome case study. She was a young woman with hopes and dreams, searching for her place in a world recovering from war. Her story reminds us of our responsibility when exploring true crime – to honor victims by recognizing their humanity first, separating sensationalism from truth, and treating their stories with the dignity they deserve.Send a message to the showSupport the showFollow Instagram | Facebook | BlueSky | TikTok | Threads | YouTube For show notes & source information at CrimeoftheTruestKind.comGive the dogs a bone tip jar: buymeacoffee.com/truestkindBecome a patron: Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindThis podcast has minimal profanity but from time to time you get one or some curse words.

El 15 de enero de 1947 en la ciudad de Los Ángeles se encontró el cadáver de una mujer llamada Elizabeth Short, a la que la prensa sensacionalista de la época bautizó como “la Dalia negra”. Su feminicidio fue tratado sin ningún tipo de respeto y generó decenas de teorías, libros, artículos y películas que intentaban explicar su asesinato pero no quién fue ella. En "La chica muerta favorita de todos" (Libros del KO) la periodista Beatriz García Guirado reflexiona sobre el origen de estas teorías y buscando hablar sobre lo que hizo la víctima y no sobre lo que le hicieron.

This time, he's going further into the shot in the dark theories and suspects that neither Creep had previously highlighted.They also talk about flat pepperoni, asmr recipe shorts, crazy tornado winds, a ride on a UFO, a ride on Universal's ET Ride, Mikey Madison and her Oscar win, sex work being legitimate work, and killer chefs.
In January 1947, the mutilated body of 22-year old Elizabeth Short was found, literally cut in half, in a vacant lot in Los Angeles. Even though hundreds of suspects were investigated and dozens of confessions were made, her murder remains unsolved to this day. In the years since, the case has gotten warm and cold again. Speculation into motive and method has been endless. And the deeper you look, the murkier the case becomes. It's a case populated by drunks and junkies, syphilitic ex-cons and petty thieves, kingpins of organized crime, and the most corrupt police officers to ever wear a badge – and it still continues to this day.

Elizabeth Short in life, The Black Dahlia in death. What do people really understand about the woman before she became the poster girl for true crime curiousities? Most know her as the Black Dahlia, but few know Elizabeth Short was a young woman whose life was marked by tragedy long before her brutal 1947 murder made headlines across America.In part one, we separate fact from fiction in the life of Elizabeth Short, who was born and raised in Medford, Massachusetts. Her tragic story has been sensationalized for decades, but few know about the real woman behind the gruesome headlines.Born in Hyde Park, Boston in 1924, Elizabeth was the middle daughter of five girls. Her early years took a devastating turn when her father, Cleo Short, lost everything in the 1929 Wall Street Crash and abandoned his family, staging his own suicide by leaving his car on a bridge. For twelve years, Elizabeth's mother Phoebe believed she was a widow, struggling alone to raise five daughters during the Great Depression.The family's world was upended again in 1942 when a letter arrived from the supposedly dead Cleo, revealing he was alive and living in California. Elizabeth, seeking connection with the father she thought dead, traveled west only to find disappointment. Their reunion lasted barely a month. Her life continued on a path of heartbreak when her boyfriend, decorated WWII pilot Major Matt Gordon, died in a plane crash just weeks before Japan's surrender in 1945.Despite media portrayal of Elizabeth as a "party girl," records reveal just one minor brush with the law—an underage drinking incident. The nickname "Black Dahlia" wasn't media sensationalism but originated during her time in Long Beach, inspired by her striking appearance: dark hair, pale skin, and signature red lipstick.The cruel irony of Elizabeth Short's story lies in how she's remembered only for her brutal end, while the resilient women in her family—her mother and sisters who lived well into their 90s—carried the burden of never knowing what happened to their beloved Elizabeth. By exploring her life before the headlines, we honor the real woman who existed beyond the infamous case that still captivates America's imagination.This is part one. In the next episode, I examine Elizabeth Short's final days and the enduring mystery of how this young woman met this fate and wSend a message to the showSupport the showNext live show, Thurs 3/13 at Off Cabot in Beverly, Mass.

On the morning of January 15, 1947, a woman walking with her young daughter spotted something pale and white lying in the weeds of a vacant lot. When the woman walked closer to get a better look, she made a horrifying discovery: the bisected body of a young woman, brutally murdered and like trash in the abandoned overgrown lot. The woman in the lot would soon be identified as twenty-two-year-old aspiring actress Elizabeth Short, who the press nicknamed “The Black Dahlia.” Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1947.

The Creeps tried assorted biscotti and incredible bread from Phoenix Bakery, located at 89 Kingwood St, Morgantown, WV. Open Wed-Sat 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM. Here's what we tried: Rosemary and Olive Bread Loaf, & Biscotti in the following flavors: Almond, Cranberry Orange, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Lemon Ginger. Then, Matt gives us the third installment of his limited series on the life and death of Elizabeth Short, also known as the Black Dahlia. In this final episode on the case, he goes into detail on updates on five out of the many known suspects thought to be responsible for Elizabeth's murder. They also talk about showing up late to baked goods, eating the wrong thing you picked up off the plate, being unapologetic to an editor that has to hear a heater running when it's cold, and the Creeps are left dumbfounded and speechless by the deliciousness of maybe the best bread we've ever had.
TV has conditioned us to believe that crimes can be solved in less than an hour…a detective or two (and maybe even a whole team) is assigned to a single case, and they somehow manage to solve it over 60 minutes—43, if you deduct commercial time. That's obviously not how it works in the real world…yes, some cases are solved quickly, but others take days, weeks, months, and even years…and then there are cold cases, crimes that don't have any arrests, convictions, and in many instances, no suspects. The most famous case has to be Jack the Ripper…in 1888, at least five prostitutes were found carved up in the Whitechapel area of London…the killer taunted the cops but was never found…the list of suspects continues to grow, even today. There's the infamous Black Dahlia murder in Los Angeles…the body of a woman named Elizabeth Short was found mutilated and cut up…despite numerous suspects, this case has remained unsolved since 1947. The Zodiac killer may have killed as many as 40 people in northern California in the 60s and 70s…he was never caught. And who killed JonBenet Ramsey on Christmas in 1996? … her body was found in the basement of her family's house…despite years of investigation by professionals, amateurs, and documentary-makers, we still have no answers. I could go on, but you get the idea. The world of music also has its share of cold murder cases…and the circumstances around each of them are, as you might expect, rather bizarre. I'm Alan Cross, and this is “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry”…let's explore some of the most infamous unsolved and unresolved murder cases in music history…and there are more than you may realize.

Elizabeth Short was one of five girls born to Cleo Alvin Short Jr. and Phoebe May Sawyer on July 29th, 1924 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. At the age of 15, Elizabeth she was suffering from bronchitis and severe asthma attacks, so she had to undergo surgery. After the successful surgery the doctors did recommend that she relocate to a milder climate in order to prevent any further respiratory problems. For the rest of her life, she lived in different state such as Florida, Massachusetts, and California. In 1947, after a short trip to San Diego, she made her way back to Los Angeles getting dropped off at the Biltmore Hotel never to be seen alive again.

On this week's episode of The Waves, we're bringing out the dead girls. Everywhere you look in popular culture there seems to be a new movie, TV show or true crime documentary detailing the mystery of yet another woman's death. At least, that was how author and guest Alice Bolin saw things when she wrote her book Dead Girls in 2018. She sits down with Slate senior producer Cheyna Roth to unpack what has - and hasn't - changed in dead girl culture (from Twin Peak's Laura Palmer to our persistent obsession with Elizabeth Short aka The Black Dahlia) and what this fixation says about all of us. In Slate Plus: What was really going on inside the Playboy Mansion.
