I’d like to see the video, but realllly don’t want to see any of the gruesome shots of Miss Short’s corpse. There aren’t any corpse shots in this, are there?
Of course not. I have gone on the record many times saying that the crime scene photos and morgue shots do not belong on the Internet. Someone recently asked me: “Why don’t you like the body pictures?”I answered: “What’s to like?”
Saw the video. Very well done. (Although I now won’t be able to listen to ‘Isle of the Dead’ anytime soon w/out thinking about this case.)Oh, and I just saw the trailer for ‘Black Dahlia’. What a <>joke<>. It looks more like an ode to 40′s-era lesbian porn than about anything to do w/Miss Short.
A gold star for recognizing the music. You’re very literate. Congratulations.
Liked the video alot. Thought it was better than the movie that’s out now. Looking forward to your book since I believe you have the best theory.
