The first suspect and supposedly the last person to see Elizabeth alive, Robert “Red” Manly, although cleared of murder, he was haunted by the crime for the rest of his life.

His wife stood by his side, unfortunately she had to have him committed to Patton State Hospital in 1954.

Police bulletin to the officers on the investigation.

Letters received by the newspapers. The police believe these were sent by the killer

Random pages from the LAPD case file.

I know I said I would put a link to the crime scene and morgue photos,but, honestly, you can just google “Black Dahlia Morgue photos” and hit image and all of the crime scene and morgue photos show up, WARNING, they are graphic, its hard to even realize that was once a living person.

The photo below is the doctored photo that the press released, they even changed her face and covered the cuts from her mouth to her ears. Its the only photo I can stand to even post.

Black Dahlia Replay Part 1-Elizabeth Short

On the morning of January 15, 1947, a mother taking her child for a walk in a Los Angeles neighborhood stumbled upon a gruesome sight: the body of a young naked woman sliced in half at the waist.  For over 70 years the mystery of who killed The Black Dahlia has perplexed the police, the FBI and  arm chair detectives and website warriors alike. Armed with the LAPD and FBI files we begin  part one of our 3 part series, where we focus on the victim. A girl just 22 years old who lost her life in the most vile and violent way. We want to give her name back, remind everyone that the Black Dahlia wasn't just a moniker or a sensation, she was a girl, a real life person who didn't deserve what happened to her in life or after death. Meet Elizabeth Short.
