THE BLACK DAHLIA
"The Black Dahlia" was a nickname given to Elizabeth Short , a woman who was the victim of a gruesome and grotesque murder. Beth was born in July 29th 1924 and she was murder on January 15th 1947 ( she was 22) ,until her murder she was a waitress.
On the morning of January 15, 1947, the nude body of Elizabeth Short was found in two pieces on a vacant lot on the west side of South Norton Avenue midway between Coliseum Street and West 39th Street .
Local resident Betty Bersinger discovered the body about 10 o'clock a.m, as she was walking with her three-year-old daughter.Bersinger at first thought it was a discarded store mannequin.When she realized it was a corpse, however, she rushed to a nearby house and telephoned the police.
Beth's severely mutilated body was completely severed at the waist and was completely drained of blood. The body also had obviously been washed by the killer. Beth's face had been slashed from the corners of her mouth to her ears, creating an effect called the Glasgow smile. Beth also had multiple cuts on her thigh and breasts, where entire portions of flesh had been sliced away. The lower half of her body was positioned a foot away from the upper, and her intestines had been tucked neatly under her buttocks. The corpse had been "posed", with her hands over her head, her elbows bent at right angles, and her legs spread.Nearby, the detectives found a cement sack which contained droplets of watery blood. There was also a heel print on the ground amid the tire track.
An autopsy stated that Short was 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m) tall, weighed 115 pounds (52 kg), and had light blue eyes, brown hair, and badly decayed teeth. There were ligature marks on her ankles, wrists, and neck. The skull was not fractured, but Beth had bruises on the front and right side of her scalp, with a small amount of bleeding in the subarachnoid space on the right side, consistent with blows to the head.The cause of death was determined to be hemorrhaging from the lacerations to her face and shock from blows on the head and face.
Due to the notoriety of the case, over the years more than 50 men and women have confessed to the murder, and police are swamped with tips every time a newspaper mentions the case or a book or movie is released about it.
When I read this black Dahlia story, I knew I had to share it , it's just a really sad end for this young beautiful woman, Beth Short , Was she just a victim of a random serial killer or was her gruesome death her fault, the truth is that we may never know, But let this be a lesson to all young girls be careful and be extra
extra prayerful, No one deserves to die the way that young woman did.
