Has anyone here read the book "Black Dahlia Avenger?"?

Question

I read the book by Steve Hodel about a year ago and was wondering what other people thought of it. The evidence in favor of George Hodel was pretty compelling and although it wasn't quite the smoking gun I was expecting, I am farily convinced that he was the killer. What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

I think his theory as to the identity of the Black Dahlia butcher is a valid possibility...but there are just too many loose ends, too many suppositions on his part to make me completely comfortable with his conclusions.

Hodel makes a compelling case. But I doubt if any court of law would base a verdict on the evidence he offers.

It's a grotesquely fascinating case, isn't it? If insanity isn't the motivation for the murder...sorry, it's too early in the day for me to think about it!
