    • The Black Dahlia: Part One - The Body

      The Black Dahlia: Part One - The Body
      Jan 12 2026
      Episode Notes The Black Dahlia, Episode One: The Body Show Notes In the opening episode of our six-part Black Dahlia series, we examine the discovery of Elizabeth Short’s body and the rapid collapse of investigative control in January 1947 Los Angeles. This episode focuses on the crime scene, the forensic realities of the murder, the role of media sensationalism, and the institutional pressures that shaped the investigation from its earliest hours. We trace how a homicide became a spectacle, how evidence was compromised, and how the murder transformed into a permanent cultural wound before it ever had a chance to be solved. Episode One Recap (Brief Prose) On January 15, 1947, the mutilated body of twenty-two-year-old Elizabeth Short was discovered in a vacant lot in Los Angeles. What initially appeared to be a shocking but solvable crime quickly escalated into one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history. The body had been deliberately posed, drained of blood, washed, and severed with anatomical precision, indicating prolonged violence carried out in a private, controlled space. As police struggled to manage an overwhelming flood of tips, confessions, and press scrutiny, early investigative missteps compounded. The crime scene was compromised, witness memories were shaped by headlines, and evidence handling deteriorated under pressure. Meanwhile, the killer’s communications with newspapers ensured the crime remained in the public eye, transforming the investigation into a performance. By the end of the first weeks, the case had already begun to slip away. Elizabeth Short was reduced to a symbol, the murder became a narrative larger than the facts, and Los Angeles found itself unable to contain the spectacle it had helped create. Episode One ends not with answers, but with the moment when the opportunity for clarity was lost.

    • The Murder of William Desmond Taylor - Part Three

      The Murder of William Desmond Taylor - Part Three
      Jan 5 2026
      Episode Notes Episode Three: William Desmond Taylor — Media, Legacy, and Interpretation

      Episode focus:This episode addresses how the Taylor murder was transformed from an active investigation into a permanent cultural mystery, and how media portrayals, secondary scholarship, and narrative-driven interpretations reshaped public understanding of the case.

      Subjects covered:

      • Early tabloid framing and the shift from investigation to scandal

      • The emergence of “Taylorology” as a speculative genre

      • Repeated media adaptations and fictionalizations

      • The role of Cast of Killers in popularizing a narrative resolution

      • Why prosecution never occurred despite converging evidence

      Key analytical points:

      • Ambiguity became culturally preferable to accountability

      • Later portrayals often privilege narrative coherence over documentary support

      • Media repetition hardened assumptions rather than clarified facts

      • The absence of legal resolution has been misinterpreted as evidentiary failure

      Works discussed:

      • Cast of Killers by Sidney D. Kirkpatrick

      • Contemporary newspaper reporting from 1922

      • FBI retrospective material

      • Film and television adaptations referencing the case

      Episode Notes Episode Two: William Desmond Taylor — Theories and Suspects

      Episode focus:This episode examines the principal suspects and theories advanced in the William Desmond Taylor murder from 1922 to the present, with attention to how and why certain individuals became focal points while others were insulated from scrutiny.

      Subjects covered:

      • Edward Sands and the role of absence in suspect construction

      • Mary Miles Minter, her correspondence with Taylor, and the press reaction

      • Charlotte Shelby’s proximity to Taylor, access to firearms, and inconsistent statements

      • How early LAPD investigative priorities shifted under studio and political pressure

      • The function of moral panic and celebrity scandal in shaping suspicion

      Key analytical points:

      • Suspects emerged unevenly based on class, gender, and perceived expendability

      • Media coverage amplified scandal over evidence

      • Several lines of inquiry were deprioritized rather than disproven
