Ok some of you may or may not know about the black dahlia murder case. Well if you dont i will be feeding you info now so open wide! (Mature read)
"Elizabeth Short, a 22-year-old wannabe actress, spent several years moving around, gaining odd jobs. Her passion for servicemen and aspiration to be famous made her a "different" woman of her time. She reportedly hooked up with a variety of men and women (one reported to having been Marilyn Monroe).
Her name evolved from her black hair and black attire. Some say she was named the Black Dahlia before her murder in January of 1947, others say the name was applied by journalists to sensationalize the crime.
On January 15, 1947, a passerby spotted her nude body in a vacant lot near Hollywood. Her body, cut in half, was bruised and beaten. Grass had reportedly been forced into her vagina, and she had reportedly been sodomized after death. Rumors of henna in her hair and BD carved into her body, as of yet to this outlet, have not been verified.
Upon the release of the murder in the press, several men and women admitted to the crime. But the police could not validate anyone's story. The case, notoriously, attracted several false confessions, and later surfaced more interest when James Ellroy wrote The Black Dahlia in 1987.
To date, according to the LAPD, the case goes unsolved. Though Janice Knowlton has authored a book naming her father as the killer, police have not reported Ms. Knowlton's statements or information as holding any water at all."
Crazy yes i know. This woman was murdered in a way that you thought was only possible in your worse nightmares. But my buddy told me today about the film they are making for this terrible incident. The trailer looks pretty good. Its directed by Brian De Palma which some of you may know him since he directed movies like scarface and the untochables. The film comes out SEPT 15th and i plan on going to see it.
Here are a few links in case you are intrested a little more about this or if you want to check out the official movie site or trailer.
