About this listen
On January 15, 1947, a young woman’s severed body was discovered in a Los Angeles vacant lot—drained of blood, surgically mutilated, and eerily posed. The victim? 22-year-old Elizabeth Short. The press named her The Black Dahlia, and the mystery surrounding her death would grip America for decades.
In this episode of Brewed and Bewildered, we explore the brutal crime that became one of the most infamous unsolved murders in U.S. history. Who was Elizabeth Short, and why did her death spark such public obsession? Was the killer a doctor, a serial murderer, or someone protected by the powerful?
We examine the most chilling theories—from Dr. George Hodel and LAPD cover-ups to links with the Cleveland Torso Murders. But beyond the headlines, we remember Elizabeth not as a spectacle—but as a real person whose story deserves dignity.
