The Black Dhalia
On January 15, 1947 the body of Elizabeth Short was found in a vacant lot in Los Angeles. She’d been cut in half, drained of blood, and three gashes had been cut into the corners of her mouth, imitating an eerie smile in the style of a “Glasgow smile.” The gruesome murder quickly became a sensation, but in spite of one of the largest police investigations in history no charges were ever filed. Most mysterious? Despite the fact that the killer drained Short of blood, there was no blood on the scene.
