Welcome back for Part 2 of this MACABRE Feature. The Black Dahlia , A City of Suspects.
As Los Angeles reeled from the Black Dahlia case, the investigation exploded into a frenzy of false leads, confessions, and high-profile suspects. In Part Two, we walk into the chaos that followed — the detectives, the tabloids, the theories, and the men who suddenly found themselves in the crosshairs. Some were legitimate. Some were liars. Some just wanted the attention. And one of them might just be the killer.
