CA CA - Elizabeth Short 'Black Dahlia', 22, Los Angeles, 15 Jan 1947

Not many people seem to know her middle name as I couldn't find it. I was able to confirm it as Betty or Ann through an ancestry record. Same birth date and estimated death date.

"Betty" is a common nick name for Elizabeth.

This month marks 76 years since her murder.

Yeah. I realised after commenting. I think the record meant Elizabeth "Betty" Short instead. I think her middle name was Ann as I saw a lot of matching records for that. I hope her murder gets solved in the future.

Larry Harnisch's theory has been mentioned in this thread before, but this is a great and comprehensive article about it. By far the best theory I've seen about this case.

Very good article. A lot of factual information that puts the case in perspective.
