Black Dahlia murder: Son of ‘Gangster Squad’ cop says dad always suspected this guy of the grisly killing. December 20, 2019. When Piu Eatwell suggested a theory for who killed the Black Dahlia decades after her horrific death, there was one person who agreed with her: the son of a police officer who worked the case. Elizabeth Short showed up in Los Angeles in the 1940s with big dreams of becoming a movie star. However, the small-town girl would only achieve fame in death as the Black Dahlia.

Leslie Duane Dillon, a one-time bellhop and former mortician’s assistant, was the monster behind the gruesome overkill. https://fxn.ws/2PFuOHx #FoxNews
