71 Years Ago Today, Los Angeles Learned Of The Crime That Would Become Its Defining Murder Mystery

On January 15, 1947, everything changed...

71 years ago this morning, the murder mystery that inspired our L.A. history explorations exploded into the public realm. The Black Dahlia case has been the stuff of headlines, rumors, dogged investigations, radio dramas and podcasts, films and TV movies, books and websites, museum exhibitions and our flagship bus tour.

But for all the activity that surrounds the crime, we pause to remember Beth Short, the lonesome and seeking 22-year-old soul at its heart. She came to Los Angeles looking for something, but she lost her way. May she find peace, and blessed forgetfulness, on the other side.
