Elizabeth Short, aka the "Black Dahlia," was just 22 years old when she was brutally murdered in Los Angeles on January 15, 1947. Not only was it a horrific crime, but it’s also proven notoriously difficult to solve. We dive into all the interesting facts most people don't know and discuss who the prime suspect is. Then we cover the case of the Chowchilla bus kidnapping.  26 children and their bus driver were taken more than 45 years ago: they were placed into a moving truck and buried alive in a quarry 100 miles away.
