In the September 2025 Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case, I talk about my work in progress, Heaven Is HERE!
In addition to the absurdity of the “Black Dahlia edition” of “Clue” and the infamous list of 22 suspects, I discussed:
–What was the most popular source on the Black Dahlia before “Severed?”
–Betty Bersinger.
–The Aztec Theater.
–Did Elizabeth Short ever meet Marilyn Monroe?
–Who is in the photo booth picture with Elizabeth?
–Was “Sergeant Chuck” an actual person?
–A “Chicago Police Officer” on the list of suspects.
–The newspaper coverage of the Black Dahlia case and the impatience of the newspapers for a solution to the killing.
–Was the envelope mailed to the newspapers with Elizabeth Short’s belongings destroyed? –Have I read “The Other Girl” (1962) by Theodora Keogh, supposedly the first novel based on the Black Dahlia murder?
–Was Alexandra Partyka thoroughly investigated in the murder of Elizabeth Short?
–Were any of the letters mailed to the police or newspapers authentic?
–Was Elizabeth Short forced to eat feces?
–Was Elizabeth Short anatomically “abnormal?”
