All Things Morbid

Hi Guys! I’m Pip, and today I’m going to talk to you about murder!

How was that for a cringe intro? My sister recommended it to me. Go figure.

Anyway, today we focus on 3 alleged murderers: Mark Hansen, Leslie Dillon, and Jeff Connors.

Okay so this motive is kind of the oldest one in the book- A deranged sociopath falls in love, he gets rebuffed, then a remake of “If I can’t have you, no one can,” sends his two henchman to kill the girl in a grisly old fashioned murder. To us in the ‘True Crime but Make It Stomachable Club’, this is just a typical Tuesday, but for all you simpletons out there I will explain in due course.

[ Sorry if I offended anyone with that last comment.]

You see, in her 2017 book, ‘Black Dahlia, Red Rose,‘ British Author Piu Eatwell argued that Jeff Connors and Leslie Dillion carried out the murder of the Black Dahlia at the command of Los Angeles night Club Owner, Mark Hansen.

The 3 Musketeers. Who aren’t french.

As Eatwell lays out, the belongings of the Black Dahlia the alleged killer sent to the Los Angeles Examiner and other L.A newspapers – Remember? That happened all the way back in Confessions, Blind Dates, And Media Madness, for the old-timers- a few days after her death, which only adds more suspicion in the case. Anyone remember the address book with the name Mark Hansen inscribed on the cover?

And that’s not even the least suspicious thing.

So, allegedly, Short had spent a few nights with Mark Hansen- but she rebuffed him. Enter the murdery, [that is probably not a word- actually it is most definitely not a word] psycho phase that led to him to plan Short’s murder with the rest of the ‘True Crime But Make it Especially Gruesome So When Writing About It The Writers Have To Censor Information,’ Club.

[ They’re our rivals here in the ‘True Crime But Make Its Stomachable’ Club.]

So, 2 years later- Yes, 2 years later- the LAPD gets a break in the case- God knows they need it, the poor guys having to investigate this case for, like, 3 years and then having to deal with wannabe detectives who blog about the case online….

Where were we? Right, a break in the case. A man called ‘Jack Sand’ called the police and started to make claims about the Black Dahlia case- he said that a man called Jeff Connors killed Short because she had threatened to reveal “an affair not considered proper by the average person”.

AND JUST WAIT.

Jack Sand’s real name was Leslie Dillon.

And he just happened to work for Mark Hansen in the past.

Don’t you think that it ties up nicely?

But the 3 musketeers were never charged. Of course they weren’t, otherwise you wouldn’t get this wonderful blog.

Carrying on, because there’s never enough evidence that does stop the police from arresting people, Eatwell also adds that Short was killed at the Aster Motel- Dillon was staying there, and the motel owners actually admitted to finding a room covered in ‘blood and fecal matter’, around the time of the killing. Witnesses also remember that they saw a dark-haired woman who looked like Short, and a man that resembled Hansen.

…

So do y’all still think its George Hodel?

Or the 3 Musketeers?

Who aren’t French.
