This is the Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case for October 2026.
The Black Dahlia Book Club will meet October 27, 2026. The next Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case will be November 3, 2026.
I am auctioning for charity a signed first edition of Michael Connelly’s The Drop starting today and ending with the Black Dahlia Book Club on October 27. The winner will donate the bid amount to a charity of their choice in memory of Elizabeth Short. Send me proof of the donation, and the book will be in the mail.
Send bids to LMHarnisch@Gmail.com with “The Drop” in the subject field. I will post the bids (if any) once a day.
Reminder: Do NOT dress up like the Black Dahlia for Halloween.
In this episode, I discussed Killer in the Code and Team Connelly’s scam in suppressing evidence that clears their suspect.

These are just empty words on a coffee mug.
I also discussed:
There are some obstacles that even love cannot overcome, or so David Everett has discovered. The 30-year-old mechanic is in critical condition at Torrance General Hospital after shooting himself in the head and neck in despondency over his frustrated love for his 17-year-old first cousin Janet. And yes, she lives in a trailer park.
