There's no place to escape to.
This is the Last Podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started.
All right, you guys ready? Big deal today. Big deal today. We can't. We're, you know, come on.
We're the best podcast in the world, and we can't get better fucking noisemakers.
This is unbelievable. We can make noises, boys. We can just make noises.
Mine's sick. Happy 600! The goddamn poppers don't work either. Everything's falling apart. I feel like I'm in a dream.
There we go.
Oh, great. Good.
Don't ever be scared after we got shooters running around. This is exactly what we need. Smells like gunpowder in this room. Yes, it does. Smells like my bathroom.
Did you know I pack my ass full of gunpowder just to make my poo-poos more explosive? How? Revolutionary. Welcome to episode 600 of Last Podcast on the Left.
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Marcus Parks. I'm here with Henry Zebrowski.
I'm in my feelings today. I'm in my feelings Henry Zebrowski.
Why is that?
Because this story is a story that we've danced around over the years and it's come up back and forth, but for number 600... the mystery begins. Goddamn right.
And we've got the tightly packed Ed Larson with us today.
Man, there is no more room in my body. The skin is tight. The skin is tight. And today, the story we're going to be covering, the Black Dahlia murder, the most vicious crime to hit Los Angeles since the babes of Inglewood in 1937.
Or maybe since we made this city out of nothing, built it upon nightmares that you thought were dreams. You know, there was like full on like a weird inquisition around here.
Well, let's fucking jump right into this shit because I cannot wait. I love this story so much. And it's going to be a fucking journey, ladies and gentlemen.
This is a story that really gets the hairs, which is a lot. Yeah, I'm standing on the back of my... It's the carpet of your back. Yes, it stands. I'm growing two times the size. I'm turning into a calico cat. But this story, I don't know what the hell it is about at this time. And I think it's because of all of the David Lynch I have consumed over all the years that since we have gotten to this point, Twin Peaks season three, this whole storyline, I did not realize is essentially Fire Walk With Me. Yeah.
Yeah, this is an extraordinarily Lynchian tale.
And it's frightening. There's something very spooky about the mystery around Elizabeth Short. It reminds me a lot of the Elisa Lam story. It also reminds me of JonBenet Ramsey quite a bit. This is one of the most famous murders of all time, correct? Sure, and American.
How come you haven't covered it yet?
Well, we're going to get into that in just a second. So on January 15th, 1947, the viciously mutilated corpse of a beautiful young woman named Elizabeth Short was found in a vacant lot in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Within weeks, she would become known as the Black Dahlia, and her murder would remain one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history. That gum you like is coming back in style. Now, this is a little out of character for us because we don't often cover unsolved cases. But what if I told you that Elizabeth Short's murder was, in fact, all but solved and has been for almost 75 years now?
If you aren't ready, you're probably like, no, I know the reason. I know exactly what it is and you don't know anything. That's probably what they would say.
What if I told you? that for very good reason the most likely suspect was swept under the rug and has stayed there despite a mountain of evidence pointing towards his guilt i would say uh like and subscribe please well over the course of this series we're definitely going to be getting deep into the who amongst the garden of who's but who really isn't the big question here i mean for some people it is for me i mean that's the whole reason we're doing it but
