  1. This is very interesting. It’s kind of like the Cliff’s Notes of the Black Dahlia. I of course have heard the name, but am not very familiar with the case. I thought I had heard something about her possibly being a ghost though. That’s why I found the #10 very interesting.

    I discuss this crime when teaching library research and newspapers. So many students assume that because a story was published in a newspaper decades ago, they are unable to obtain it. Also discuss how newspapers used to run more crude images back in the day.

  3. I too believe that Dr. Hodel was responsible for this girls murder. I always wondered if he was never charged.

  4. Oh wow! Yes, because students these days wouldn’t know about the old school way we used to have to cull through info, right? SO interesting! Has a lot of it been scanned into computers these days? Or is that just too cumbersome?

  5. Debra: I know! So many working theories, yet no arrest.

    Courtney: Yes, a lot is digitized. The FBI has a great database of infamous crimes. However, when the crime/murder is obscure, then I have to hit the microfilm.
