A former LAPD detective who believes his father killed the Black Dahlia believes a cadaver dog’s search of his old Hollywood home has turned up the scent of the woman who was killed 66 years ago.
The shocking murder of Elizabeth Short, known as the Black Dahlia, is one of the oldest unsolved murder cases in Los Angeles history.
On Jan. 15, 1947, Short’s severely mutilated body was discovered in a vacant lot near the intersection of 39th Street and Norton Avenue in South Los Angeles.
