Episode 4: Not Who, But Why

Steve, Larry, and now Doug are not the only investigators to get sucked into the black hole of the 75-year-old Black Dahlia mystery. Some of the original LAPD officers who tried to solve the case became blinded by their theories, leading to disastrous consequences. The more Larry tells Doug about Elizabeth Short’s case, the more Doug feels torn between two very different theories. As Doug delves deeper into the case files, he tries to maintain an unbiased perspective. Much in the same way that Short’s life and identity were lost beneath the dramatized persona of the Black Dahlia, solving Short’s murder may involve dismantling the most popular theory about who did it, and looking at the case from a behavioral perspective.©2022 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2022 Audible Originals, LLC
