Tinseltown Tragedies Episode 3: The Haunting Mysteries of the Black Dahlia

Published: April 4, 2016, 2 a.m.

It's the most notorious unsolved murder in Hollywood history.  Cut in half, drained of blood and dumped strategically in a vacant lot on January 15, 1947, Elizabeth Short became a haunting symbol of savagery the world over. In this third episode of Tinseltown Tragedies, the Movie Geeks United! original series devoted to uncovering the truths behind Hollywood's most enduring myths, murders and scandals, we investigate the all-too-brief life and tragic death of Ms. Short (otherwise known as The Black Dahlia) with a panel of special guests including filmmaker Kyle J. Wood, Jon Haimowitz, writers Larry Harnisch and Joan Renner, and retired LAPD homicide detective and best-selling author Steve Hodel, whose hugely popular series of Black Dahlia Avenger books pin the crime on his own father.  Written, produced, edited and narrated by Jamey DuVall. Voice talents include Mike White, Dean Treadway, Sam Adams, Sarah Adams, Nicole Lee, Johnnie C. Ingram, Natalie Dieffenwierth and Ryan Dieiffenwierth. Original score selections composed and performed by Michael McCormack.  For more information on Tinseltown Tragedies, visit our official website.
