After reading maximum
After reading maximum of the accounts written about, "The Black Dahlia" I wrote my personal opinion as to what happened the night time of "January 14th and the early morning of Jan. 15th 1947" when "Elizabeth Short" become murdered.
My opinion did not come from somebody else's thoughts or writings even though some mind I read hinted in the course of this hypothesis I actually have written but stopped at the primary notion. Some reviews hinted on this direction however stopped on the trace and did not continue. Remember, "You Heard It Here First" whilst you read new posting from right here on into the destiny.
My writing at the "Black Dahlia" murder is just "Educated Speculation" and NO evidence was generated to lower back up my very last opinion as to who the killer is. I become astonished that I was even able to discover any portions in any respect that placed the image together of a "Quacking Duck" but sufficient of the actual facts was collected to create a likely completed puzzle.
The Hunter Episode
I become looking an antique episode of the T.V. Police drama collection, "Hunter" and determined to put in writing this newsletter primarily based at the "Black Dahlia" display topic of this one episode. There's lots of re-run channels that these antique T.V. Collection are proven on now and one in every of my very favored lower back in the 1980's and still to this present day is the "Hunter" display starring "Fred Dryer".
I discovered out many have written approximately the "Black Dahlia". I shouldn't say "Written" because maximum are "Copy/Pasted" from any other web website and the writer reads the Copy/Pasted article then enters his/her own opinion here and there within the article before it is published. My article is fully written by, "Me". No Copy/Paste right here! Except for one quote towards the lowest of this newsletter.
I watched this "Black Dahlia" show and all in all at the cease "Hunter's" companion "Dee Dee McCall (Stephanie Kramer)" stuck the "Black Dahlia" killer. The show started off with an vintage frame being observed and of path "Hunter" were given the case. The vintage body lead into the "Black Dahlia" killing with a few black mail and the "Black Dahlia" killer seeing "Hunter's" partner "Dee Dee McCall" as the "Black Dahlia" he had killed lower back in 1947. The "Black Dahlia" killer seeing "Dee Dee McCall" because the "Black Dahlia" got him psycho once more and he went after her at her domestic. "Dee Dee McCall" came face to face with the "Black Dahlia" killer and of course she whooped his ass to no quit with the killers knife pointed at her throat. She put the harm to him and cuffed him. Show over. The "Black Dahlia" killer become caught and this old murder changed into positioned inside the solved column.
After this episode of "Hunter" I started reading up at the killing and located out there have been hoards of stories about this unsolved murder. Sure, I've heard about the "Black Dahlia" case a few times inside the beyond but by no means truly went deep into the many readings that have been out inside the public. I began to study about "The Black Dahlia (Elizabeth Short)" and found out there had been some questions I become asking that were now not spoke back in the many articles I examine about her. My article right here is "Summarized" with most effective "Pertinant" factors to inform the tale.
The Questions Asked
One query is, "What Happened To Her Sister?". Elizabeth Short went to visit her sister at the "Biltmore" lodge in downtown Los Angeles and the actual head to head visit along with her sister wasn't documented anywhere. Which sister was staying at the "Biltmore" for the go to? Was she just going to go to her sister for 5 minutes or longer? Was the sister staying in downtown Los Angeles for a job interview and then leaving right afterwards? Why didn't Elizabeth Short spend any quality time with her sister or even see her?. The tale states Elizabeth Short changed into dropped off at the Biltmore resort then ended up leaving which turned into the last time every person had visible her.
Another question is, "Which Person In The Vast Amount Of Suspects Knew The Area Her Body Was Dumped In And Was Going To Be Dark And Un-populated"? The place her body became dumped in best had the road and sidewalks installed. The houses were not built at the time of the homicide. There were houses inside the surrounding blocks round this un-built community to the North, South and East and it looks as if those numerous undeveloped neighborhoods plus a massive undeveloped commercial enterprise district to the west had been the last buildings to be built in this area.
In the blocks to the west of this undeveloped community become a large unbuilt enterprise district. It's approx. 6.6 miles from the Biltmore Hotel to this undeveloped darkish place in "Leimert Park" where her frame become dumped. There had been lots of locations in L.A. At that time wherein bodies might have been dumped and where a few our bodies of different girls were dumped. Murders have been taking place throughout L.A. Within the 1940's. "Elizabeth's" murder just went viral.
A query to be requested is, "Did The Killer Want The Body Cut In Half To Lessen The Burden Of Having To Move The Weight Of A Whole Body?". The killer may also have reduce the frame in half and tired it so he/she should flow it more without problems to it is very last destination to be observed. Was the way her frame ended up being laid out in the area idea of after the frame became reduce in half or became the body cut in half to be deliberately laid out this way? This become talked about however in no way taken severely for the reason that all the suspects had been cleared. Because the reduce round her torso became directly and and unique the two docs that in some way have been connected to "Elizabeth" and the docs had houses within the vicinity in which the body was dumped that lead police to the doctors being the high suspects.
A large cognizance through investigators was the fact that the body became drained of all of its blood after which wiped clean. Of course all of the blood is going to drain out of the body whilst you narrow it in 1/2. The awareness of investigators should have handiest been on why the body became reduce in half. Sure, if your going to move a frame and need to reduce the load you then would reduce the body in half of and whilst all the blood is tired out you would clean the frame so blood won't seep thru the blanket it is in and create blood stains to your fabric's and on your vehicle.
Elizabeth Short become taken to someone's location of house or commercial enterprise to be killed after which pushed to the region her body become to be dumped maximum possibly to send a message and for the exposure. The killer did get his/her exposure to the point of a undying story that is now inside the records books. It does seem the way her frame was dumped and wherein it turned into dumped is completely intentional regardless of if the way it turned into laid out was because of it having to be cut in half of for mobility or now not. My take in this homicide focuses around, "Who Knew The Area Where The Body Was Dumped?", "Who Was Disgruntled Enough With Elizabeth To Kill Her", "Who Wanted To Send A Gruesome Message?" and "Who Was To Frail To Move A Whole Body?".
I'd like to say proper now who I "Think" killed "Elizabeth Short" but then you would not get the real feeling of the "Elizabeth Short" murder and no longer study the relaxation of this very lengthy tale.
Elizabeth Short, "Who She Was"
We Find Out Elizabeth Had An Income Begging
"Elizabeth Short" must have had a few cash stored. I've examine all of us always speculated as to where "Elizabeth" become getting her cash. Everyone agrees she wasn't a prostitute or slut and best favored getting men to shop for her beverages and food and "Not" having sex or very little. During her time in Los Angeles it regarded like she continually had a place to sleep and a couple of bucks at any given time so she didn't must "Slut" herself. She constantly had women roommates except she had what she idea turned into a everlasting boyfriend or dwelling with the alternative girls at "Mark Hansen's" home.
There's not anything uncommon about ladies courting for drinks and meals and no longer having to spend their very own cash. It became stated that "Elizabeth" called "Ann Toth" and requested "Ann" to ship her $20.00 before she left for San Diego? It changed into certainly "Ann Toth" who paid for "Elizabeth's" apartment at the "Chancellor". I'm no longer beneath the affect "Elizabeth" changed into broke but I am underneath the impact she become growing right into a "Con Artist" at the age of 22 to make ends meet.
Even though she changed into "Cheaping It" it can be that "Elizabeth" determined out that living at the cheap and "Conning" people out of little bits of cash and favors become a extremely good way to stretch the greenbacks she had stored whilst she changed into operating returned in Florida. She was a waitress at a hectic nightclub getting a paycheck plus guidelines and now not paying plenty rent for the short time she lived with "Mark Hansen". Remember, "Elizabeth" preferred being round hoards of human beings. When in a economic pinch she always became able to give you the coins, "Fast", which I speculate in the time it might take her to go to a financial institution.
"Elizabeth Short" despite the fact that she refused to get a task or cross to school changed into a nice lady who stored her sex to simplest individual boyfriends she have become near. "Elizabeth" might have in no way stayed in the "Cecil Hotel" in downtown Los Angeles as a few have said due to the criminal interest and seedy personalities whom resided there. She rejected and ran from the "Chancellor Apartments" that changed into filled with "Seedy Criminal" personalities wherein I am below the impression she borrowed money she could never pay again.
Yes, she became an alcoholic like her father become and she decided "Begging" and "Bar Hopping" turned into the lifestyles she enjoyed the most. People, males and females appreciated "Elizabeth" despite the fact that they did no longer recognize her. She changed into turning into a everyday at local bars however it seems like she located out begging was more profitable at locations just like the Greyhound bus station wherein she always had new faces to beg from.
Actually, there can be an undiscovered bank account somewhere within the banking system to at the moment with "Elizabeth Short's" call on it that does not incorporate a number of coins however does comprise coins in the hundreds. $two hundred back in 1947 is like $2000 now. Most unclaimed bank money owed are became over to some member of the family but I haven't examine something about her circle of relatives individuals receiving any of her assets left in the back of. Could be that a financial institution account of "Elizabeth Short" is sitting in state custody unclaimed? Since the murder of "Elizabeth" changed into declared an unsolved homicide I could take it that every one of "Elizabeth's" belonging could still be in the custody of the Los Angeles police dept. Including custody of any financial institution account she can also have had.
Elizabeth Short's Activities In California
The Father And Daughter
"Elizabeth Short" moved to the west coast because of her father "Cleo Short" in early 1943. He faked his suicide while "Elizabeth" turned into very young and while "Elizabeth" determined out he become in California alive she went to him on his invitation to "Keep His House Clean" in alternate for lease. "Cleo Short" changed into making good money for that time period and could have enough money to guide the own family he threw away but after contacting his ex spouse the own family rejected him except for "Elizabeth".
The trouble between "Cleo Short" and his daughter "Elizabeth" became they each had been alcoholic inclined. "Elizabeth" become becoming the alcoholic her father was with the controlling mood quickly to observe later on in life. "Elizabeth" changed into her father and her father wanted someone that was "Not" him to do his cooking and cleansing. Constantly under the influence of alcohol turned into the daddy "Cleo" and constantly under the influence of alcohol was the daughter "Elizabeth". "Elizabeth" preferred to go out a carouse all night. A few months later in mid 1943 "Cleo" tossed her out of his home. I bet "Cleo" did not like himself. "Cleo" became constantly drunk too and he didn't want to clean his personal domestic.
Elizabeth On Her Own
"Elizabeth" determined a process at "Camp Cooke" after she changed into tossed onto the streets by means of her father. She turned into staying out all night time even as living along with her father so she changed into already skilled to stay off the fats of the land whilst her father instructed her to go away.
In September 1943 she lived with a girlfriend in Santa Barbara, Calif. And was busted for underage consuming. The police arranged her return lower back to Massachusetts.
California Or Bust For Her
"Elizabeth Short" stayed in Massachusetts and Florida till May of 1946 while she packed her baggage and moved to California from Florida after a brief 10 day stopover in Chicago. She ended up at the "Washington Hotel" in Long Beach Ca.. I have not read anything about if she knew her father had moved to Los Angeles earlier than her or maybe if she had any correspondence with him after she left her fathers residence in Vallejo, Calif.. The woman have to have had plenty of money saved for her adventure.
Elizabeth's Residents During Her Time In Los Angeles
Washington Hotel, fifty three Linden Ave. Long Beach from July 12 to August 3rd.
Sunset Hotel August, 1 week in Hollywood
Brevoort Apartments, Lexington Ave. Close to Vine, Hollywood until August 27th
Hawthorne Hotel, 1611 North Orange Drive, Hollywood from August 28 to September twentieth
Hotel Figueroa, Downtown Los Angeles, September twentieth to October 1st
Mark Hansen's Home, Carlos Street, Hollywood Oct 1st to November 13th
Chancellor of Hollywood Apartments November 14th to December 9th
Went To San Diego until January ninth
Aster Motel at 2901 South Flower Street January tenth to the 14th. Nobody should identify that Elizabeth stayed at the "Aster Motel" by means of name and the supervisor had destroyed all the registration cards before the police were given there on August second, 1947 to rip the rooms apart seeking out blood residue. Some witnesses did make statements that there was a black haired lady whom laid in mattress all day and on occasion came out of the room once in awhile begging for money. The police were nice "Elizabeth" stayed at the "Aster" but without a tremendous name ID they wouldn't document it as proper.
After "Elizabeth Short" left the "Biltmore Hotel" and left her baggage on the "Greyhound Bus Station" near "Skid Row" on "Los Angeles Street" she traveled south to the "Aster Motel" thru "The City Rapid Transit" gadget at 10:30 pm and registered at the "Aster Motel". This is apparent due to the fact the L.A. Police Dept. Changed into so very interested by scouring every room for blood residue.
The Mark Hansen Experience
Approx. 2 months before the demise of, "The Black Dahlia (Elizabeth Short)", she moved into the groupie home of "Mark Hansen" whom owned the "Marcal Theatre" and the "Florentine Gardens Nightclub". Her finishing up in "Mark Hansen's" domestic turned into because of his friend "Sid Zaid" who turned into a photographer. "Elizabeth" had no issues making girls buddies in addition to male buddies despite the fact that she argued with a whole lot of them.
"Mark Hansen's" groupie home turned into on "Carlos Ave." directly in the back of the "Marcal Theatre". The "Marcal Threatre" and "Florentine Gardens" are positioned on "Hollywood Blvd." close to the "Hollywood Freeway". There turned into a gate among the "Marcal Threatre" and the house so "Mark Hansen" simply had to open the gate to access the "Marcal Threatre" assets. The "Florentine Gardens" turned into down the street maybe a hundred yards deliver or take with yet another business among the "Marcal Theatre" and "Florentine Gardens".
"Elizabeth Short" changed into hired at the "Florentine Gardens" as a waitress. She become only 22 years vintage. "Ann Toth" as told in most stories of the "Black Dahlia" is said to were "Mark Hansen's" female friend but that is untrue. "Anne Toth" had a exceptional boyfriend named "Leo Hymes". "Anne Toth" stayed at the "Carlos Ave" home on and rancid. "Mark Hansen" always helped out many young ladies via renting them rooms in his domestic on "Carlos Ave.". He perhaps gave key personnel reasonably-priced lease in his home. I even have for my part run into bosses that assist out personnel like this to get right work carried out and preserve their employees sincere.
According to detective "Harry Hansen" (No Relation To Mark Hansen), "Elizabeth Short" did no longer have any jobs till her activity on the "Florentine Gardens" whilst she first moved to Los Angeles. The detective stated she had plenty of men buddies and relationship become her lifestyle. She turned into not a prostitute or slut and best became visible as a social butterfly. Even "Mark Hansen" her nightclub boss who allow her live at his home on "Carlos Ave." stated she changed into active with many guys showing up at his domestic however I also study "Elizabeth" and "Mark Hansen" were having an affair and the men that confirmed up were just dispelled.
"Elizabeth's" friend "Marjorie" who become also let to live in "Mark Hansen's" domestic became pissing "Mark Hansen" off by ingesting all of his booze and he finally tossed "Marjorie" and "Elizabeth" out. I would not doubt if "Elizabeth" become suspected of placing her palms within the until or "Coning" people right here and there to growth her take. The address ebook that turned into sent to the newspaper by means of the killer and said as being part of "Elizabeth's" belongings become stolen from "Mark Hansen" so each were kicked out for, "Missing Booze And Small Items".
Did Elizabeth Try San Diego Or Was She Running From Glynn Wolfe?
"Elizabeth" stated she went to San Diego to escape from a crazy guy. Could this crazy man be the proprietor of the "Chancellor Apartments" who changed into "Glynn Wolfe"? "Ann Toth" was "Elizabeth's" friend stated "Glynn Wolfe" changed into a maniac and sexual pervert who threatened to kill her as soon as. "Ann Toth" took "Elizabeth" to the "Chancellor" due to the reasonably-priced lease and "Elizabeth" later on complained that the condo building became packed with certainly undesirable humans and she or he desired out and went to San Diego.
From December 9th to January 9th "Elizabeth" stayed in San Diego with a pleasant girl she had met even as dozing on the "Aztec" theatre. This female who befriended "Elizabeth" in San Diego became the price ticket clerk on the theater. After "Mark Hansen" instructed "Elizabeth" she wasn't welcomed lower back at his home to stay she referred to as him once more and he informed her she needed to wait until "Anne Toth" got here returned from her go to along with her mom up north. "Mark Hansen" requested "Elizabeth" why she went to San Diego and he or she replied that she became afraid of a few loopy guy that turned into at the "Chancellor" flats.
Elizabeth's Return To Los Angeles
Elizabeth Short was dropped off on the downtown Los Angeles "Biltmore Hotel" at approx. 6:30 PM on January 9th, 1947. It changed into pronounced that her sister whom she become think to meetup with had now not checked in yet. It became also reported that she hung around the lobby of the lodge for every other four hours then left after making several cellphone calls. If the reports had been accurate approximately the time she spent inside the lodge foyer then she could have exited the motel around 10:30 PM. She turned into visible leaving the motel and strolling south on "Olive Street".
What you examine is that that is the remaining area "Elizabeth" was seen earlier than her dying but that is fake. Many off the cuff reports said she changed into visible walking round downtown L.A. And driving around in peoples automobiles after Jan. 9th however maximum of those reviews were validated to be before "Elizabeth" left to San Diego. I even study a report where she became at a bar consuming and left with a sailor who then lower back to his pals residence in bloody cloths however this story is "False". Many false memories and time traces are circulating.
The problem I actually have with most of these false stories that have been generated approximately the "Black Dahlia" is the "Biltmore Hotel" became surrounded by "Rapid Transit". The L.A. Subway foremost station was proper next to the "Biltmore Hotel" on the north side. Bus stops had been common all over the "Biltmore" and maximum probable "Elizabeth Short" started out making smartphone calls and "Begging For Money" from the lodge guests then hopped on a "City Transit" trolley to somewhere. Some trolley and subway routes run among 12:00am and 1:00 am or so but I do not know the transit agenda in 1947 Los Angeles. "Elizabeth" did now not have a car so I anticipate she changed into very acquainted with the "Public Transit" lines of transportation. "Elizabeth" changed into additionally very acquainted with the bars and bus stations within the location because she regularly bar hopped them during her time in Los Angeles.
Why her sister wasn't there on the "Biltmore" I have not discovered out but. There's no bills about her sister except "Elizabeth" turned into think to fulfill her at the "Biltmore" which most in all likelihood now became a misinform get Robert "Red" Manley to exit of his manner and power Elizabeth from San Diego to the Biltmore in Los Angeles.. I read any other statement announcing before she went to San Diego she advised anyone she was going to "Berkeley" to spend the holidays with her sister which was just any other fabrication for some cause. "Elizabeth" is validated to lie once in a while to get what she wishes, she cons humans, steals stuff like she stole "Mark Hansen's" cope with ebook and she became to begging in high turnover bus station bars and accommodations. Hell, even in modern society "Begging" is particularly profitable if you may get a great place to do it.
Elizabeth's Situation Between Jan. 9th and 14th
There had been stories approximately her being dead broke however I myself do not think she was useless broke. I believe she did have some cash to feature on. Elizabeth became planning to transport to Chicago as she had told her ex boyfriend but that can had been a ruse also to get a few cash. A letter was found from "Elizabeth" to her need to be husband "Gordon Fickling" stating she turned into going to Chicago. Gordon even despatched her $a hundred right earlier than she was murdered.
In my opinion "Elizabeth Short" lived within the Aster motel and changed into begging for cash at the "Greyhound" bus station in the days earlier than she become killed. I actually have an opinion now that something did in fact manifest on the "Chancellor Apartments" that made "Elizabeth" want to depart Los Angeles for a short time frame. "Elizabeth" did in truth want to come back and when she did 1 month later none of her past pals or acquaintances knew she had lower back. She changed into noticed making smartphone calls at the "Biltmore Hotel" but I'm certain the calls were calls to nearby "Motels" to test rates and emptiness's and not to her past buddies or pals. "Elizabeth" hopped on a "Trolley" likely around 11:00 am earlier than the "Trolley's" stopped running.
"Elizabeth" did indeed touch her pal "Ann Toth" proper before Christmas from San Diego and requested her for $20.00. It's unknown if the money changed into ever sent however "Begging" become "Elizabeth's" factor and regardless of who you have been to her she would hit you up for cash or gave you a sob story till you stopped doing favors for her.
"Elizabeth" had herself dropped off on the "Biltmore Hotel" intentionally to "BEG FOR CASH" without a goal of staying. At 10:30 pm after she had spent hours "Begging" and calling local motels for fees and emptiness's she hopped on a "Rail Trolley" and headed south to the "Aster Motel" and nobody ever knew.
A few of her antique haunts had been just throughout the street from the Biltmore and despite the fact that there have been reviews of her getting into the ones institutions among Jan. 9th and the 14th she in no way did. The sighting of her being in her antique "Crown Bar And Grill" haunt with a nut case coming in searching out her become a month before and no longer after she had lower back from San Diego. Actually it sounds like that nut case that became coming in searching out her is the cause she fled to San Diego. "Elizabeth" may also have ripped off a person on the "Chancellor Apartments" for enough cash that they have been searching out her.
Many people stated they noticed her between Jan. 9th and the 14th all over Los Angeles and Hollywood but a number of the sightings have been established to be prior to "Elizabeth" leaving for San Diego. Nobody that noticed her can say whatever that cements their tales so the police discarded the claims? And a few had been established now not to be factual.
The truth seems to be "Elizabeth" made her way down to the "Aster" inn via "Rail Trolley". "Elizabeth" by no means did anything throughout the day, she laid around all day and went out at night time within the 5 days after she back from San Diego. The "Greyhound" bus station had the "Corral" bar and that is maximum likely in which she spent her nights at between January 10th and the 14th with continuously rotating tourists she ought to "Beg For Money From".
My opinion did not come from somebody else's thoughts or writings even though some mind I read hinted in the course of this hypothesis I actually have written but stopped at the primary notion. Some reviews hinted on this direction however stopped on the trace and did not continue. Remember, "You Heard It Here First" whilst you read new posting from right here on into the destiny.
My writing at the "Black Dahlia" murder is just "Educated Speculation" and NO evidence was generated to lower back up my very last opinion as to who the killer is. I become astonished that I was even able to discover any portions in any respect that placed the image together of a "Quacking Duck" but sufficient of the actual facts was collected to create a likely completed puzzle.

The "Black Dahlia" killer seeing "Dee Dee McCall" because the "Black Dahlia" got him psycho once more and he went after her at her domestic.

"Elizabeth" might have in no way stayed in the "Cecil Hotel" in downtown Los Angeles as a few have said due to the criminal interest and seedy personalities whom resided there. She rejected and ran from the "Chancellor Apartments" that changed into filled with "Seedy Criminal" personalities wherein I am below the impression she borrowed money she could never pay again.
Yes, she became an alcoholic like her father become and she decided "Begging" and "Bar Hopping" turned into the lifestyles she enjoyed the most. People, males and females appreciated "Elizabeth" despite the fact that they did no longer recognize her. She changed into turning into a everyday at local bars however it seems like she located out begging was more profitable at locations just like the Greyhound bus station wherein she always had new faces to beg from.
Actually, there can be an undiscovered bank account somewhere within the banking system to at the moment with "Elizabeth Short's" call on it that does not incorporate a number of coins however does comprise coins in the hundreds. $two hundred back in 1947 is like $2000 now. Most unclaimed bank money owed are became over to some member of the family but I haven't examine something about her circle of relatives individuals receiving any of her assets left in the back of. Could be that a financial institution account of "Elizabeth Short" is sitting in state custody unclaimed? Since the murder of "Elizabeth" changed into declared an unsolved homicide I could take it that every one of "Elizabeth's" belonging could still be in the custody of the Los Angeles police dept. Including custody of any financial institution account she can also have had.
Elizabeth Short's Activities In California
The Father And Daughter
"Elizabeth Short" moved to the west coast because of her father "Cleo Short" in early 1943. He faked his suicide while "Elizabeth" turned into very young and while "Elizabeth" determined out he become in California alive she went to him on his invitation to "Keep His House Clean" in alternate for lease. "Cleo Short" changed into making good money for that time period and could have enough money to guide the own family he threw away but after contacting his ex spouse the own family rejected him except for "Elizabeth".
The trouble between "Cleo Short" and his daughter "Elizabeth" became they each had been alcoholic inclined. "Elizabeth" become becoming the alcoholic her father was with the controlling mood quickly to observe later on in life. "Elizabeth" changed into her father and her father wanted someone that was "Not" him to do his cooking and cleansing. Constantly under the influence of alcohol turned into the daddy "Cleo" and constantly under the influence of alcohol was the daughter "Elizabeth". "Elizabeth" preferred to go out a carouse all night. A few months later in mid 1943 "Cleo" tossed her out of his home. I bet "Cleo" did not like himself. "Cleo" became constantly drunk too and he didn't want to clean his personal domestic.
Elizabeth On Her Own
"Elizabeth" determined a process at "Camp Cooke" after she changed into tossed onto the streets by means of her father. She turned into staying out all night time even as living along with her father so she changed into already skilled to stay off the fats of the land whilst her father instructed her to go away.
In September 1943 she lived with a girlfriend in Santa Barbara, Calif. And was busted for underage consuming. The police arranged her return lower back to Massachusetts.
California Or Bust For Her
"Elizabeth Short" stayed in Massachusetts and Florida till May of 1946 while she packed her baggage and moved to California from Florida after a brief 10 day stopover in Chicago. She ended up at the "Washington Hotel" in Long Beach Ca.. I have not read anything about if she knew her father had moved to Los Angeles earlier than her or maybe if she had any correspondence with him after she left her fathers residence in Vallejo, Calif.. The woman have to have had plenty of money saved for her adventure.

Aster Motel at 2901 South Flower Street January tenth to the 14th. Nobody should identify that Elizabeth stayed at the "Aster Motel" by means of name and the supervisor had destroyed all the registration cards before the police were given there on August second, 1947 to rip the rooms apart seeking out blood residue. Some witnesses did make statements that there was a black haired lady whom laid in mattress all day and on occasion came out of the room once in awhile begging for money. The police were nice "Elizabeth" stayed at the "Aster" but without a tremendous name ID they wouldn't document it as proper.
After "Elizabeth Short" left the "Biltmore Hotel" and left her baggage on the "Greyhound Bus Station" near "Skid Row" on "Los Angeles Street" she traveled south to the "Aster Motel" thru "The City Rapid Transit" gadget at 10:30 pm and registered at the "Aster Motel". This is apparent due to the fact the L.A. Police Dept. Changed into so very interested by scouring every room for blood residue.
The Mark Hansen Experience
Approx. 2 months before the demise of, "The Black Dahlia (Elizabeth Short)", she moved into the groupie home of "Mark Hansen" whom owned the "Marcal Theatre" and the "Florentine Gardens Nightclub". Her finishing up in "Mark Hansen's" domestic turned into because of his friend "Sid Zaid" who turned into a photographer. "Elizabeth" had no issues making girls buddies in addition to male buddies despite the fact that she argued with a whole lot of them.
"Mark Hansen's" groupie home turned into on "Carlos Ave." directly in the back of the "Marcal Theatre". The "Marcal Threatre" and "Florentine Gardens" are positioned on "Hollywood Blvd." close to the "Hollywood Freeway". There turned into a gate among the "Marcal Threatre" and the house so "Mark Hansen" simply had to open the gate to access the "Marcal Threatre" assets. The "Florentine Gardens" turned into down the street maybe a hundred yards deliver or take with yet another business among the "Marcal Theatre" and "Florentine Gardens".
"Elizabeth Short" changed into hired at the "Florentine Gardens" as a waitress. She become only 22 years vintage. "Ann Toth" as told in most stories of the "Black Dahlia" is said to were "Mark Hansen's" female friend but that is untrue. "Anne Toth" had a exceptional boyfriend named "Leo Hymes". "Anne Toth" stayed at the "Carlos Ave" home on and rancid. "Mark Hansen" always helped out many young ladies via renting them rooms in his domestic on "Carlos Ave.". He perhaps gave key personnel reasonably-priced lease in his home. I even have for my part run into bosses that assist out personnel like this to get right work carried out and preserve their employees sincere.
According to detective "Harry Hansen" (No Relation To Mark Hansen), "Elizabeth Short" did no longer have any jobs till her activity on the "Florentine Gardens" whilst she first moved to Los Angeles. The detective stated she had plenty of men buddies and relationship become her lifestyle. She turned into not a prostitute or slut and best became visible as a social butterfly. Even "Mark Hansen" her nightclub boss who allow her live at his home on "Carlos Ave." stated she changed into active with many guys showing up at his domestic however I also study "Elizabeth" and "Mark Hansen" were having an affair and the men that confirmed up were just dispelled.
"Elizabeth's" friend "Marjorie" who become also let to live in "Mark Hansen's" domestic became pissing "Mark Hansen" off by ingesting all of his booze and he finally tossed "Marjorie" and "Elizabeth" out. I would not doubt if "Elizabeth" become suspected of placing her palms within the until or "Coning" people right here and there to growth her take. The address ebook that turned into sent to the newspaper by means of the killer and said as being part of "Elizabeth's" belongings become stolen from "Mark Hansen" so each were kicked out for, "Missing Booze And Small Items".
Did Elizabeth Try San Diego Or Was She Running From Glynn Wolfe?
"Elizabeth" stated she went to San Diego to escape from a crazy guy. Could this crazy man be the proprietor of the "Chancellor Apartments" who changed into "Glynn Wolfe"? "Ann Toth" was "Elizabeth's" friend stated "Glynn Wolfe" changed into a maniac and sexual pervert who threatened to kill her as soon as. "Ann Toth" took "Elizabeth" to the "Chancellor" due to the reasonably-priced lease and "Elizabeth" later on complained that the condo building became packed with certainly undesirable humans and she or he desired out and went to San Diego.
From December 9th to January 9th "Elizabeth" stayed in San Diego with a pleasant girl she had met even as dozing on the "Aztec" theatre. This female who befriended "Elizabeth" in San Diego became the price ticket clerk on the theater. After "Mark Hansen" instructed "Elizabeth" she wasn't welcomed lower back at his home to stay she referred to as him once more and he informed her she needed to wait until "Anne Toth" got here returned from her go to along with her mom up north. "Mark Hansen" requested "Elizabeth" why she went to San Diego and he or she replied that she became afraid of a few loopy guy that turned into at the "Chancellor" flats.
Elizabeth's Return To Los Angeles
Elizabeth Short was dropped off on the downtown Los Angeles "Biltmore Hotel" at approx. 6:30 PM on January 9th, 1947. It changed into pronounced that her sister whom she become think to meetup with had now not checked in yet. It became also reported that she hung around the lobby of the lodge for every other four hours then left after making several cellphone calls. If the reports had been accurate approximately the time she spent inside the lodge foyer then she could have exited the motel around 10:30 PM. She turned into visible leaving the motel and strolling south on "Olive Street".
What you examine is that that is the remaining area "Elizabeth" was seen earlier than her dying but that is fake. Many off the cuff reports said she changed into visible walking round downtown L.A. And driving around in peoples automobiles after Jan. 9th however maximum of those reviews were validated to be before "Elizabeth" left to San Diego. I even study a report where she became at a bar consuming and left with a sailor who then lower back to his pals residence in bloody cloths however this story is "False". Many false memories and time traces are circulating.
The problem I actually have with most of these false stories that have been generated approximately the "Black Dahlia" is the "Biltmore Hotel" became surrounded by "Rapid Transit". The L.A. Subway foremost station was proper next to the "Biltmore Hotel" on the north side. Bus stops had been common all over the "Biltmore" and maximum probable "Elizabeth Short" started out making smartphone calls and "Begging For Money" from the lodge guests then hopped on a "City Transit" trolley to somewhere. Some trolley and subway routes run among 12:00am and 1:00 am or so but I do not know the transit agenda in 1947 Los Angeles. "Elizabeth" did now not have a car so I anticipate she changed into very acquainted with the "Public Transit" lines of transportation. "Elizabeth" changed into additionally very acquainted with the bars and bus stations within the location because she regularly bar hopped them during her time in Los Angeles.
Why her sister wasn't there on the "Biltmore" I have not discovered out but. There's no bills about her sister except "Elizabeth" turned into think to fulfill her at the "Biltmore" which most in all likelihood now became a misinform get Robert "Red" Manley to exit of his manner and power Elizabeth from San Diego to the Biltmore in Los Angeles.. I read any other statement announcing before she went to San Diego she advised anyone she was going to "Berkeley" to spend the holidays with her sister which was just any other fabrication for some cause. "Elizabeth" is validated to lie once in a while to get what she wishes, she cons humans, steals stuff like she stole "Mark Hansen's" cope with ebook and she became to begging in high turnover bus station bars and accommodations. Hell, even in modern society "Begging" is particularly profitable if you may get a great place to do it.
Elizabeth's Situation Between Jan. 9th and 14th
There had been stories approximately her being dead broke however I myself do not think she was useless broke. I believe she did have some cash to feature on. Elizabeth became planning to transport to Chicago as she had told her ex boyfriend but that can had been a ruse also to get a few cash. A letter was found from "Elizabeth" to her need to be husband "Gordon Fickling" stating she turned into going to Chicago. Gordon even despatched her $a hundred right earlier than she was murdered.
In my opinion "Elizabeth Short" lived within the Aster motel and changed into begging for cash at the "Greyhound" bus station in the days earlier than she become killed. I actually have an opinion now that something did in fact manifest on the "Chancellor Apartments" that made "Elizabeth" want to depart Los Angeles for a short time frame. "Elizabeth" did in truth want to come back and when she did 1 month later none of her past pals or acquaintances knew she had lower back. She changed into noticed making smartphone calls at the "Biltmore Hotel" but I'm certain the calls were calls to nearby "Motels" to test rates and emptiness's and not to her past buddies or pals. "Elizabeth" hopped on a "Trolley" likely around 11:00 am earlier than the "Trolley's" stopped running.
"Elizabeth" did indeed touch her pal "Ann Toth" proper before Christmas from San Diego and requested her for $20.00. It's unknown if the money changed into ever sent however "Begging" become "Elizabeth's" factor and regardless of who you have been to her she would hit you up for cash or gave you a sob story till you stopped doing favors for her.
"Elizabeth" had herself dropped off on the "Biltmore Hotel" intentionally to "BEG FOR CASH" without a goal of staying. At 10:30 pm after she had spent hours "Begging" and calling local motels for fees and emptiness's she hopped on a "Rail Trolley" and headed south to the "Aster Motel" and nobody ever knew.
A few of her antique haunts had been just throughout the street from the Biltmore and despite the fact that there have been reviews of her getting into the ones institutions among Jan. 9th and the 14th she in no way did. The sighting of her being in her antique "Crown Bar And Grill" haunt with a nut case coming in searching out her become a month before and no longer after she had lower back from San Diego. Actually it sounds like that nut case that became coming in searching out her is the cause she fled to San Diego. "Elizabeth" may also have ripped off a person on the "Chancellor Apartments" for enough cash that they have been searching out her.
Many people stated they noticed her between Jan. 9th and the 14th all over Los Angeles and Hollywood but a number of the sightings have been established to be prior to "Elizabeth" leaving for San Diego. Nobody that noticed her can say whatever that cements their tales so the police discarded the claims? And a few had been established now not to be factual.
The truth seems to be "Elizabeth" made her way down to the "Aster" inn via "Rail Trolley". "Elizabeth" by no means did anything throughout the day, she laid around all day and went out at night time within the 5 days after she back from San Diego. The "Greyhound" bus station had the "Corral" bar and that is maximum likely in which she spent her nights at between January 10th and the 14th with continuously rotating tourists she ought to "Beg For Money From".
