Elizabeth Short is pictured after her arrest in Santa Monica on September 23, 1943 for underage drinking. She was 19 at the time.
On the morning of January 15, 1947, on a vacant lot in Los Angeles, the nude severed body of Elizabeth Short was found. A product of a broken home, the 23 year old woman had relocated to California from the East Coast in hopes of discovering fame and fortune. She led a somewhat troubled, sometimes mysterious life, culminating in her murder, which to this day, remains unsolved. The Black Dahlia nickname is believed to have originated from her hairstyle and black attire, others believe the media created it in order to sensationalize the murder case.
