In the March 2024 Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case, I talk about how Elizabeth Short got the “Black Dahlia” nickname. And no, the case wasn’t named by the newspapers, regardless of what you may read elsewhere.

I also gave my monthly progress report on the book and discussed:

–Artists who do portraits of Elizabeth Short in human blood (please don’t!).

–The origins of Elizabeth Short’s alleged middle name “Ann.”

–Was Red Manley committed to a mental institution until his death?

–What Glen Kearns had to say about his encounter with Elizabeth Short.

–Why the LAPD denies access to the Black Dahlia files.

–Have John Gilmore’s lies from Severed been replaced by other trash books or do they linger?

–Were the letters D, E, or F scratched into Elizabeth Short’s body, as Piu Eatwell claims?

–What became of Lynn Martin??

Coming up on YouTube: On March 19, at 10 a.m. Pacific time, I’ll do an Ask Me Anything on George Hodel. Can’t make the live session? Email me your questions and I’ll answer them! The video will be posted once the session ends so you can watch it later.
