Phoebe, Elizabeth's mother received a letter from Cleo stating he was sorry for leaving but Phoebe wouldn't let him return to the family. When Elizabeth turned 19 she moved to Cali to live with her dad.This relationship didn't last long with her father since her father felt as if she was lazy and just stayed out all night at parties. After she left her dad's home she ventured to Santa Barbara where she was arrested for underage drinking.She returned home for a visit but Elizabeth was determined to become an actress so she left for Cali. once again.It was mid-January 1947 when she was last seen alive in Biltmore Hotel.It had been reported that she was going to meet a gentleman that evening. After leaving the Hotel, she was never seen again. Her body was discovered in the Crenshaw district, her body severed on January 15th, 1947. She was a "wanna be" actress.

Reply:I'm assuming you're talking about the historical murder and not the movie or metal band. If this is the case you can check out the link for information from the Wikipedia, which includes; suspects, myths/misconceptions, and her biography.





It's really quite an interesting story considering the brutality of the crime and the fact that, despite the numerous suspects, there was never enough evidence to solidify who the murderer was let alone convict them. There wasn't even a trial.
Reply:The Black Dahlia murder was the brutal killing of Hollywood starlet wanna-be Elizabeth Short in 1947. It was a big deal due to the brutality of it (she was severed in half and left nude in a field) and the fact that it was never solved.
Reply:Elizabeth "Betty" Short (July 29, 1924 – January 15, 1947), was an aspiring actress, today better known as the Black Dahlia. She was the victim of a gruesome and unsolved murder at the age of 22.





The Black Dahlia murder investigation by the LAPD was the largest since the murder of Marian Parker in 1927, and involved hundreds of officers borrowed from other law enforcement agencies. Because of the complexity of the case, the original investigators treated every person who knew Elizabeth Short as a suspect who had to be eliminated. Hundreds of people were considered suspects and thousands were interviewed by police. Sensational and sometimes inaccurate press coverage, as well as the horrible nature of the crime, focused intense public attention on the case. About 60 people confessed to the murder, mostly men, as well as a few women. As the case continues to command public attention, many more people have been proposed as Short's killer, much like London's Jack the Ripper murders of 1888.
