Larry Harnisch, retired Los Angeles Times reporter and a leading subject-matter expert on the Black Dahlia case, joins the show to discuss his decades-long research into the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, detailing his investigative approach and efforts to separate fact from myth. We also examine retired FBI profiler John Douglas’s behavioral analysis, which aligns closely with the suspect Larry finds most plausible. We also discuss where Larry’s offender assessment diverges from the one we presented on The Consult.
