In the December Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case, I gave an update on my work in progress, Heaven Is Here!

I also discussed:

–Eli Frankel’s “Sisters in Death” My review is here: https://ladailymirror.com/2025/05/19/…

–Consulting the original newspaper coverage on the case rather than books, magazine articles, websites or podcasts.

–Why did the killer send one letter and vanish?

–Did The Consult podcast bring up anything that I found interesting or useful?

–The TV movie Who Is the Black Dahlia (1975) claimed that the LAPD had three secret questions that only the killer could answer. Is that true? Did the killer contact the newspapers before sending her items?

–Why did the Bayley family downsize to a house on South Norton Avenue?

–Was Elizabeth Short a “pathological” liar?

–Did the Hollywood Citizen News cover crime?

–Can you elaborate on the “secret” that Walter Bayley’s partner learned about him?

–Did Elizabeth Short have any other belongings besides what was in her trunk, at the Railway Express office, and her suitcases, checked at the Greyhound bus station?

–What is my reaction to observations on The Consult that this wasn’t the killer’s first murder?

–How long did Elizabeth Short stay in Florida?

–When will my book be ready?

–What is my opinion on “Sisters in Death?”

–Is Elizabeth Short in the film on V-J Day celebrations on Hollywood Boulevard, as claimed by Google AI overview?

–Why didn’t Elizabeth Short go back to Massachusetts?

–Was it Elizabeth Short’s idea to be dropped off at the Biltmore?
