## Resource

Who was Elizabeth Short before she became known as the "Black Dahlia"? In Part One of this conversation, Chanley Painter is joined by the investigative team behind Deconstructing Dahlia, Jeff Thomas and Kimberly Lupini. They unpack the five-year journey that led them from a long-hidden police secret to a standing L.A. motel where forensic experts uncovered evidence of a major bloodshed event from 1947. TAKE ACTION: Help Bring Closure to Elizabeth Short’s Family: The team has identified key physical evidence and a primary suspect but needs the LAPD to release the long-withheld 1947 autopsy report to corroborate the murder motive.  www.change.org/justiceforelizabeth  Learn more about your ad choices.
