In conclusion we all agree that the 3 men worked together, since in the hotel Elizabeth was last seen at, a room covered in blood, where one witness claimed to have seen both Hansen and Elizabeth.

I find that it was more likely Leslie did it, since he used to be a mortican's assistant and therefore learned to bleed a body dry. And Leslie knew details about the Black Dahlia that the police kept secret and locked, including that he had connections to Mark Hansen, a suspect of the crime.

It could be that all these suspects came together with their skills to murder Elizabeth Short.

Two years later, the LAPD seemed to get a break in the case when a man who called himself “Jack Sand” called and started to make claims about the Black Dahlia case. He said that a man named Jeff Connors had killed Short because, per Rolling Stone, she’d threatened to reveal “an affair not considered proper by the average person.”

What’s more, Sand — whose real name was Leslie Dillon — knew details about the Black Dahlia case that the police had kept secret. And he just happened to have worked for Mark Hansen in the past.

Though neither Dillon nor Connors nor Hansen were ever charged, Eatwell suspects that the three men worked together to kill Short. She believes that the men killed her at the Aster Motel, where Dillon was staying, and where the motel owners later admitted to finding a room “covered in blood and fecal matter” around the time of the killing. Witnesses also remembered seeing a dark-haired woman there — as well as a man who looked like Hansen.

One theory about the Black Dahlia murder posits that it wasn’t one person who killed Elizabeth Short — but perhaps as many as three. Author Piu Eatwell argued in her 2017 book, Black Dahlia, Red Rose, that the murder was carried out by Leslie Dillon and Jeff Connors at the behest of a Los Angeles nightclub owner named Mark Hansen.

For Steve Hodel, a former LAPD detective, the idea that his father, George, may have killed Elizabeth Short started with a hunch. While looking through George’s belongings after his death, he found a tiny photo album that contained two photos of a dark-haired woman — a woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to the Black Dahlia.

Despite the extensive mutilation and cuts on the body, there wasn’t a drop of blood at the scene, indicating that the young woman had been killed elsewhere.

The body was just a few feet from the sidewalk and posed in such a way that the mother reportedly thought it was a mannequin at first glance.

The case is called Black Dahlia because of her rumored penchant for black clothing, and for the movie Blue Dahlia out at the time.

The 1947 murder of a 22-year-old Hollywood hopeful in Los Angeles has never been solved. On the morning of January 15, 1947, a mother taking her child for a walk in a Los Angeles neighborhood stumbled upon a gruesome sight: the body of a young woman sliced in half at the waist.

Soon the Examiner relieved a call from a man claiming to have murdered her. For proof, he sent photos of her birth certificate, I.D, and other personal identifications of Elizabeth.

The Black Dahlia is an unsolved gruesome case!

It is about the murder of a 22 year old woman named Elizabeth.

As reported by The Guardian, Steve started to dig into his theory, and came up with some compelling clues. His father, a doctor, would have had the skill necessary to slice the Black Dahlia in two. His handwriting seemed to match letters to the police. And he appeared to have purchased bags of concrete shortly before Short’s death, which matched bags found near her body.

Some of her insides were taken out.

It was noted beside her corpse, heel prints were shown. There was a cement sack next to her and a blood trail, showing she had been dragged to be transported to the park.

George added: “Supposin’ I did kill the Black Dahlia. They couldn’t prove it now. They can’t talk to my secretary any more because she’s dead.”

But George Hodel isn’t the only compelling potential Black Dahlia killer out there.
