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

In this session, I’m going to trace lies about the Black Dahlia case from former Examiner reporter Will Fowler to John Gilmore in Severed, to Steve Hodel’s Black Dahlia Avenger franchise.

And then I’ll talk about the hemicorporectomy, which George Hodel supposedly performed on Elizabeth Short — at least in the alternative reality that is the world of Steve Hodel.

Also:
–Was Elizabeth Short bisected by someone with advanced surgical training?
–Where did Steve Hodel get the idea of writing a book about the Black Dahlia?
–Did Steve Hodel ever meet Will Fowler?
–What Wikipedia says about the hemicorporectomy and my rant about Wikipedia.
–How many times did Dorothy Hodel get arrested for child neglect?
Answer: Dorothy Hodel was arrested for child neglect in December 1944; given a suspended 60-day sentence in February 1945; ordered to stay sober for a year, March 21, 1945; sentenced to 90 days in jail for child neglect, May 1, 1946.
–Does Steve Hodel lie about other aspects of his career?
–Did George Hodel take custody of his children after his trial on charges of abusing Tamar Hodel?
–Did Lillian Lenorak try to shoot George Hodel?
–How does John Huston’s family feel about Steve Hodel’s claims?
–What was Duncan Hodel’s relationship with George Hodel?
–Did I ever interview members of the Philippine branch of the Hodel family?
