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

In this video, I discussed my experiences fact-checking Steve Hodel and, in response to Wikipedia Guy, the differences between ad hominem attacks and factual rebuttals.

We also talked about:

–Elizabeth Short’s body was found on South Norton Avenue, not Degnan Boulevard, as claimed by Steve Hodel.
–No, Degnan and Norton are not the same street, as claimed by Steve Hodel.

–George Hodel was never suspected of killing his secretary, who committed suicide.
–No public records show Romayne Goldsmith owned the Sowden House, as claimed by Steve Hodel.
–No public records show Carole Foreman lived at the Sowden House, as claimed by Steve Hodel.
