EP. 89: Dahlia’s Roots - How Santa Barbara Blossomed the Black Dahlia
In this episode, The Indy host, Rebecca Fairweather, discusses the infamous case of the 1947 murder mystery, the Black Dahlia, and her connection to Santa Barbara. As a former resident of the American Riviera, Elizabeth Short’s brief residence led to her notorious mugshot image that cemented her fame and aided in identifying her mutilated figure.
After being arrested for underage drinking at a local bar in El Paseo, Short moved to Los Angeles, where the sight of her murder took place.
The Black Dahlia mystery is one of the most famous unsolved murders in United States history and one of the oldest unsolved cases in Los Angeles County. While no suspect has officially been named Short’s murderer, many have speculated who might have resulted in the 22-year-old's death.
Rebecca Fairweather discusses two men featured on the LA Police Department’s top 25 potential suspects list.
