## Resource

On January 15, 1947, a mother walking her child in a vacant Los Angeles lot discovered what she initially thought was a discarded mannequin, tragically it was the body of Elizabeth Short . She had been severed at the waist and drained of blood—a crime so theatrical and gruesome it changed the American media forever. In this episode, we peel back the layers of the "Black Dahlia" myth and the top suspects of who could be responsible. This week Kaydra from Perplexity A Mystery Podcast is on the mic to help unpack this infamous case.
