Here’s my latest Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case. We had a good turnout and lots of excellent questions. The video is posted on YouTube and on Instagram.

I discussed Don’t Dress Up Like the Black Dahlia for Halloween and talked about Wikipedia, The Black Dahlia in Hollywood, Ancestry.com and whether there are any good books on the Black Dahlia case. (No!) Also, Did John Gilmore make up LAPD Detective Herman Willis? (Yes!) Is Donald Wolfe’s Black Dahlia Files any good? (No!) More on the Leslie Dillion debacle and why Patrick S. O’Reilly isn’t a good suspect. I also covered the coroner’s inquest, James Ellroy, and Elizabeth Short’s estimated time of death. And many other items too numerous to mention.

I’ll do it again the first Tuesday in October, which is Oct. 3.

And remember: I’ll have an Ask Me Anything on George Hodel, live on YouTube, Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. Pacific time.
