Black Dahlia: Ask Me Anything, April 2024

In the April 2024 Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case, I talk about the recent article in… Popular Mechanics?
I also gave my monthly progress report on the book and discussed:

The particularly destructive editing of Wikipedia articles on the Black Dahlia case by Death Editor 2. (And by EEng, for that matter).

–Items mailed to the Examiner as shown in a photo accompanying the Popular Mechanics article.
–Whether Elizabeth Short suspected Matt Gordon committed suicide.
–Were there other women in Los Angeles named Elizabeth Short, affecting the investigation?
–Was Mark Hansen the most corrupt businessman in Los Angeles, as claimed by Piu Eatwell?
–The significance of the “key questions” in investigations.
–Where did Cleo Short live in Los Angeles?
–Was more than one person involved in Elizabeth Short’s murder?
–What about the possibility of using DNA to identify the killer?
–Did Elizabeth Short have her birth certificate so she could visit Tijuana when she was in San Diego?
–Did Will Fowler flash a badge at Harriet Manley? Are any of Will Fowler’s stories true?

Coming up on YouTube: On April 16, 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.
