Elizabeth Short

mariah · August 7th, 2009, 12:48 PM

She had everything a leading scarlet would have. Plump lips, milky skin, and striking eyes made Elizabeth Short the ideal beauty. Born in Hyde Park, MA on July 29, 1924, Elizabeth had dreams of becoming a leading lady. After graduating high school she moved to Hollywood with dreams of stardom. Sadly, the only stardom Elizabeth would ever get came after her murder on January 15, 1947. On that day a mother pushing her child in a stroller caught sight of a bloodless corpse chopped in two and completely drained of blood. Her mouth was slashed in the corners of her mouth up to her ears creating a demented smile. Her hair was clean, shampooed, and wet. A portion of her leg was cut off and shoved up into her genitals. Police knew from the minute they saw her they were seeing one of the most horrific murders to have ever hit mankind. Her nickname of Black Dahlia was based on the movie The Blue Dahlia. Hundreds of people were considered suspects. Since then 60 people have confessed to her murder, but no one has been charged. Many people believe that Short's murder was committed by someone who had intense medical knowledge and a love for surrealism.

One of the holy grails of True Crime, do doubt.

This piece that I saw on 48 Hours was amazing. I pretty much am sold on Hodel being the killer of Short, as well as Chicago's Lipstick Killer.

Dr. George Hodel is thought to be the killer of the Black Dahlia. He was a very prominent physician in Hollywood and basically was a STD doctor. He held the sexual/Medical secrets of some of the most powerful and famous people in Hollywood. Hodel was known to have lavish and elaborate parties in his home, with a who's who guest list of Hollywood's most elite. He also had a penchant for rough sex with aspiring starlets. Many of these parties ended in orgies.

The above art is a picture by an artist named Man Ray, who was Dr. Hodel's friend. The piece above is called "The Minotaur." A Minotaur was said to be a mythological creature who fed on virgins.

If you look at the lips and the pose of her body and compare it to the art, there is a VERY strong similarity, which is also backed by something that may be stronger than coincidence.

These motherfuckers that never saw shit outside their shanty town are going to have to stop talking grandeur shit like that. They saw nothing yet, ever see hundreds of thousands of people perished in a matter of seconds?
