Here’s Boxie (formerly Boxy) and I with this month’s “Ask Me Anything” on George Hodel.

I responded to a Steve Hodel supporter who challenged my credentials and asked for my “substantiation.”
I also discussed Elizabeth Short’s “missing week.” Is it real or not (as Steve Hodel claims)?

Then the Q&A, alternating between live and submitted questions.

We discussed whether George Hodel was really “the prime suspect” in the Black Dahlia case (no, he wasn’t); whether “genius” George Hodel would find anything to discuss with high school dropout Elizabeth Short; Steve Hodel’s claims about a “hemicorporectomy” being taught in medical school in the 1930s; and George Hodel’s surgical training — just enough to graduate from medical school.

Also: Is there anything to connect George Hodel to the “lone woman” murders?; was organized crime involved in the killing of Elizabeth Short?; Did George Hodel hang out at the Florentine Gardens?; Did George Hodel really have a penthouse with a view of the cemetery where Elizabeth Short is buried?

It was a fun session!
