Black Dahlia Pt.2

The police have no identified a killer. They believe the killer to be long dead. Unfortunately, this means that he or she will never be brought to justice. Still, people who are interested in the Black Dahlia murder case never quit investigating. Here are some of the top suspects in the case and some information on them.
  • Robert Manley - He was the last known person to see Elizabeth Short alive. He was booked as a suspect right away but released right after passing a polygraph test. His wife commited him to a mental hospital in 1954 due to psychiatric problems; he said he was hearing voices. He was also given the "truth serum" the same year but he spoke nothing of Elizabeth Short's dead. He died 39 years to the day he last saw Ms. Short. He death was said to be caused by an accidental fall.
  • Mark Hansen - This man was the head of some sleazy night club. Many of the girls who worked for him lived in his home. Elizabeth Short lived there for a little while. It was reported that he repeatedly attempted to get her in bed, but his attempts were in vain.
There are more suspects but the their ties in the murder are quite confusing. You can read more on them at this website: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/famous/dahlia/new_11.html

It was tragic what happened to Ms. Short. It is sickening that we have people in this world who would do such a thing and be able to live with themselves. Hopefully, nothing like this will ever happen again. We a corrupt people living in a corrupt world.

There is now a movie based on this woman's unfathomable fate. It is entitled The Black Dahlia. Here is a preview:
