George Hodel: Ask Me Anything, November 2025

This is the Ask Me Anything on George Hodel and Steve Hodel for November 2025. In this session, I discussed Steve Hodel and the genesis of the first Black Dahlia Avenger book in 2003. I also discussed: –Steve Hodel’s latest “definitive” edition of Black Dahlia Avenger. –Authenticity problems with a book of poems that supposedly belonged to George Hodel. –How did Steve Hodel’s location of the Black Dahlia crime scene morph from Norton Avenue to “off Degnan” to “on Degnan?” –Steve Hodel’s claims that Elizabeth Short went to Chicago to “investigate” the murder of Suzanne Degnan. –Why would Steve Hodel want to be the son of someone who is “infamous?” –Does Steve Hodel ever make me angry? –Have I read or listened to the audio book of Black Dahlia Avenger IV? –In what neighborhood is the Sowden House located? –Why did Stephen Kay say the case against George Hodel was prosecutable and does he say anything now? –Why did George Hodel suddenly move to the Philippines? –Why did Steve Hodel change his father’s cause of death from heart attack to suicide? –Did Steve Hodel end up with all his father’s possessions? –Did Dorothy Hodel ever say anything about George Hodel’s guilt or innocence?
