Don’t waste your money on EBay

 An enterprising EBay vendor is offering a CD of the FBI files on Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia. For a minimum bid of $9.99 plus shipping of $3.

I admire American ingenuity as much as anyone. But folks, this material is available online from the FBI for free. Save your money and download it here.
Did I mention that it’s FREE?

Notice that even the FBI has it wrong: Elizabeth Short had no middle name. You can be sure that people who call her Elizabeth Ann Short don’t know what they are talking about.

    Hi there.
    I bought a postcard on eBay of the Motel Mtn. View, in Sun Valley, Ca. Someone has written “Black Dalhia (sic) was killed here.” with an X marked on one room.
    Without digging thru the file, can you confirm that this message is true?
    The URL will take you to the postcard, if interested.

    Do they have anything on Bugsy Siegel?
