All Things Morbid

Okay guys, I’m back! Yes, I know, after like 2 weeks—maybe 12 days—of absolutely no posting whatsoever—I am back! So about the absence of posts- I do have a life actually [ Hehe, ignore what I said in previous posts… ] and was out in the big wide world, living it. If you call hours of grueling hiking with only two pieces of chocolate to sustain you, ‘living it’. [Okay, okay, so in reality it was only one hour, maybe an hour and a half, but that’s not what it felt like to my body….I play DnD, I’m not an athlete.]

Moving on…..Yes, I am aware I am not talking about the Black Dahlia in any shape or form, or the deranged surgeon some people suspected. That will begin…. [ I look at the expensive Rolex on my wrist that I do not have..] now.

So, the police long suspected that the killer was a surgeon or doctor of some kind- they needed to have some kind of medical knowledge and skill to execute the cutting of the body into two parts so cleanly and precisely.

So now we have a profile: A surgeon, maybe retired, probably a man. Of course, there is George Hodel. But there’s another person believed to have killed the Black Dahlia…

Walter Bayley.

L.A Times columnist Larry Harnisch believed that this surgeon was the one to do it.

In 1996, Hernisch started digging up some info about the Black Dahlia murder- finding some unsettling connections between Bayley and Short.

Get this: Short’s body was found in the near vicinity of his ex wife’s house. A 45-second walk to be exact.

The thoughts in Bayley’s mind while he’s walking that 45 seconds: Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious..

He was suspicious.

Moving on, Hernisch also found out that Bayley’s daughter knew Short’s sister [ She had three sisters] and Bayley had an office near the Biltmore Hotel, which we know is believed to be the last place Short was publicly seen.

So now comes the theory, crazy as it may be: Harnisch believes that the doctor, fresh from a divorce -Love trauma, always a good motive- and maybe suffering from an undiagnosed Alzheimer’s disease, may have crossed paths with Short at the Biltmore Hotel- maybe they spent a few days together. Maybe something happened to incite Bayley’s rage. Maybe Short rebuffed him. Maybe she told a lie she had told before; having a son who died at a young age. Bayley is credited at having a son that died at a young age, and Short’s body was found 2 days after the anniversary of his death. Maybe Bayley killed her because he figured out her lie and killed her in a blind rage.

Maybe this happened, and maybe that happened, all we do know is: Something happened. Something happened from when Robert Manley dropped her off at the Biltmore Hotel, and when she was found dead in Leimert Park.

Maybe I should stop saying maybe and maybe I should wrap up this post.

Maybe.

Goodbye my dear readers, and a hope for the future: Saying maybe at the end of a sentence will become the new ‘not’.

Goodbye, and I’ll write soon. Maybe.
