For May’s Ask Me Anything on the Black Dahlia case, I gave an update on the book, Heaven Is Here!, and discussed the latest news in the Black Dahlia case, and alleged links to the Zodiac case made by self-taught codebreaker Alex Baber.

Reminder: The Black Dahlia Book Club will meet May 19 at 10 a.m. on YouTube, when I will discuss the portrayal of Elizabeth Short in Jack Webb’s The Badge.
