    Episode 7 - Suspects and the End
    Feb 23 2026
    Episode 6: Other Suspects and the End of the Case Episode Summary In the final chapter of our Black Dahlia series, the investigation widens one last time. With the major theories exhausted, police files and later researchers turn toward a cluster of secondary suspects whose names surfaced briefly, then disappeared. Some were questioned and released. Others were investigated quietly and never revisited. Together, they form the outer perimeter of the case. This episode examines three of the most persistent alternate suspects, the reasons they were considered, and the evidence that ultimately failed to sustain those theories. It also addresses how the investigation finally dissolved, why no official closure ever came, and how the Black Dahlia transformed from an active homicide into one of the most mythologized crimes in American history. The episode concludes with the argument that the case did not remain unsolved because the truth was unknowable, but because the investigation fractured under pressure, politics, and institutional failure. What survived was not resolution, but narrative. Featured Subjects Leslie Dillon A bellhop with an interest in crime who corresponded with LAPD psychiatrist J. Paul De River. Dillon’s detailed letters raised suspicion, but inconsistencies, lack of corroboration, and procedural misconduct ultimately undermined the case against him. Jack Anderson Wilson A former LAPD informant and convicted criminal who claimed responsibility for the murder while hospitalized. His confession failed to match known evidence and was dismissed by investigators. Jeff Connors A bit-part actor who died by suicide in 1947 and was briefly examined due to timing and rumor. No physical or documentary evidence ever linked him to Elizabeth Short. The Collapse of the Investigation By mid-1947, the case was no longer being worked in any coordinated way. Tips continued to arrive, but no suspect remained active. Files were reorganized, leads were deprioritized, and responsibility quietly dispersed. Key Topics Covered Why confessions in high-profile cases often fail verification The role of police psychiatry in 1940s investigations How media pressure reshaped investigative priorities The disappearance of suspects through bureaucratic attrition The moment the case effectively ended without announcement Sources and References Primary and Historical Sources Los Angeles Times Black Dahlia Archivehttps://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-black-dahlia/ FBI Vault: Black Dahlia Fileshttps://vault.fbi.gov/Black%20Dahlia LAPD Historical Homicide Fileshttps://www.lapdonline.org/history/ Books and Longform Research John Gilmore, _Severed: The True Story of the Black Dahlia Murder_https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/163983.Severed Larry Harnisch, “The Black Dahlia Files”http://www.lmharnisch.com Steve Hodel, _Black Dahlia Avenger_https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/164564.Black_Dahlia_Avenger Janice Knowlton and Michael Newton, _Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Killer_https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/289238.Daddy_Was_the_Black_Dahlia_Killer Academic and Contextual Material FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin Archivehttps://leb.fbi.gov Postwar Los Angeles Policing Historyhttps://www.lapdhistory.org Episode Review Episode 6 closes the Black Dahlia series not with revelation, but with examination. By moving away from dominant theories and toward the structure of failure itself, the episode reframes the case as a study in investigative collapse rather than criminal brilliance. It emphasizes proximity, documentation, and institutional behavior over mythmaking, leaving listeners with a clear understanding of why the case ended the way it did. No culprit is crowned.No certainty is manufactured.The story ends where the investigation actually did. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

  • The Black Dahlia - Part six: Marvin Margolis

    The Black Dahlia - Part six: Marvin Margolis
    Feb 16 2026
    AI True Crime — Episode Six: Marvin Margolis

    Episode Six examines Marvin Margolis, a suspect briefly questioned by the LAPD in the weeks following the murder of Elizabeth Short. Unlike figures who later came to dominate public discussion of the case, Margolis was investigated contemporaneously, during the period when detectives were still operating under urgency rather than hindsight.

    The episode traces how Margolis entered the investigation through proximity, circumstance, and behavioral concern rather than theory. His questioning occurred amid a flood of tips, false confessions, and public pressure that defined the earliest phase of the case.

    We explore what investigators sought during his interview, what failed to emerge, and why Margolis did not generate sufficient evidence to justify continued attention. He did not confess, did not contradict verified timelines, and did not produce material leads.

    The episode examines how his name disappeared from the record not through formal clearance or concealment, but through investigative triage as the case shifted toward suspects who produced narrative momentum rather than procedural progress.

    Margolis becomes a control case, illustrating how ordinary suspects are evaluated, abandoned, and forgotten in real investigations. His brief involvement highlights the contrast between early police procedure and later theory-driven reconstructions.

    Episode Six concludes by reframing the Black Dahlia case as one shaped not only by what is unknown, but by how absence becomes misread as meaning once evidence and memory decay.

  • The Black Dahlia - Episode 5 - George Hodel

    The Black Dahlia - Episode 5 - George Hodel
    Feb 9 2026
    AI True Crime — Episode Five: The Hodel Theory

    Episode Five examines the most widely known suspect in the Black Dahlia case: Dr. George Hodel. Rather than presenting the theory as solution or accusation, this episode focuses on how the idea formed, why it gained dominance, and where its claims weaken under scrutiny.

    The episode begins with the reemergence of Hodel’s name decades after the murder, following renewed public attention generated by the release of LAPD surveillance records and accusations made by his son, Steve Hodel. Unlike earlier suspects, George Hodel entered the narrative with a profession, an address, and documented police interest, giving the theory a sense of permanence.

    We examine Hodel’s background as a Los Angeles physician, his role in elite social and artistic circles, and his residence on Franklin Avenue. The house itself becomes a symbolic centerpiece of the theory, despite never being processed as a crime scene and later being demolished.

    Central focus is placed on the 1949–1950 LAPD wiretaps installed inside Hodel’s home. The episode explores what the recordings actually contain, how detectives interpreted them at the time, and how later retellings reframed ambiguous statements as implied confession.

    The episode revisits claims that the killer possessed medical knowledge, returning to original autopsy findings and distinguishing documented forensic observations from newspaper embellishment and later myth-making.

    Attention then turns to Steve Hodel’s published accusations, including allegations of abuse, analysis of photographs, and interpretive reconstruction of events. The emotional power of a son accusing his father is examined alongside the limitations of retrospective investigation.

    We analyze the coincidences that sustain belief in the theory: disputed photographs, geographic overlap, travel timelines, and pattern recognition. These elements are explored as narrative mechanisms rather than evidentiary proof.

    The episode also presents the strongest arguments against the theory, including the absence of physical evidence, the lack of eyewitness linkage between Hodel and Elizabeth Short, prosecutorial refusal to file charges, and the risks of confirmation bias.

    Episode Five concludes by examining why the Hodel theory continues to dominate discussion of the case. It argues that the theory persists not because it resolves the murder, but because it provides structure in a case defined by missing evidence and investigative failure.
