A detective in L.A. says the killer of the black dahlia was his father.

I read about that in the newspaper this morning. I thought that it was very interesting. Sounds like a good chance that it's true.

Wow... interesting news! It'd be great if it's true - this case had been cold for so long. Sounds like this guy's father was pretty creepy. I'd like to read his book and see what other evidence there might be against his father.

Thanks for the heads up - I hadn't heard about this yet!

Too bad it's next to impossible to prove. Unless someone has something written by the doctor indicating his guilt or some other such evidence stashed away somewhere. Maybe the widow has something. Or just burnt it!!!

I had no idea what or who the Black Dahlia was. I looked at that link, and did a search on the internet. What an unbelievably brutal act, and I can't even imagine the type of person that would be able to carry that out. =(

That would be great though if they could finally solve the case. I would also be interested in reading that book. Can you imagine, thinking/knowing that your father murdered someone, possibly more then one person? UGH! No thank you!

That is really creepy, but extremely interesting as well! I have never heard of this case before, and I would also like to read the book, Kell. True crime cases such as this one, are really fascinating to me. Thanks for the link it had a lot of information. If anyone finds any more links that have info on this case let me know...

Christine, and anyone else who'd like it, here's the skinny on the Black Dahlia. There are several chapters, so it should fill you in! =)

I remember reading somewhere or seeing it on TV that she haunts a hotel in the Hollywood/LA area. That people have come in contact with her.
If she is still lingering here maybe someone could contact her and see if she knows who killed her. It may confirm this gentleman's theory.
