I have been a licensed clinical social worker who has worked in the urban areas for the past 21 years. Sadly, I have had clients that have been murdered. Unfortunalty and tragically it happens all to often. There are several clients I have worked with, one inparticular, that I will never forget. Her life was taken in somewhat the same tragic manner as Elizabeth Short. The streets and what is found there only take life, never give it. It is so tragic and unbelievebly sad! After viewing the photos and reading the diferent reports, I turn to the humility of prayer; in the end there is only prayer. My prayer is not much, a little prayer offered for the soul of Elizabeth Short and her family. She was such a sweet young girl. When at last the pain of life is over, the beauty of the soul is revealed, Throught the eternal balze and brillance- God's love, Now, Elizabeth, Saint of the Filed. Peace, John 7/22/10

I mean I heard a little while ago of a story where the FBI uncovered a 20 year old murder mystery? Why is it that with so many things now available to them that they wouldn't want to just try? She was so brutally murdered that I would think some kind of evidence was on the body, maybe something that they missed back then...I guess I only hope for this because this story breaks my heart everytime..to think of a woman, or anyone for that matter to suffer that way...even if the killer is dead I think if they found something, anything on him it would let her ghost be at peace I know this may sound silly but with our dna advancements etc wouldn’t there be a way to find out just who did it?

I have all ready read part of the FBI report (would have read it all by now, but the site kept crashing), and many newspaper articles. From this I know that you have really worked to provide good, accurate, blogging. Sure would be good to know who really murdered Elizabeth Short, but unless someone who knew the killer (who is probably passed on by now) steps up with solid evidence, I don't think we will ever know who murdered her, at least in this life on earth. Sure would help to know who the two men and one women were that Elizabeth seemed so afraid of. Perhaps they were people who tracked her down from another area, another state, due to circumstances we know nothing about. Wow, this site has a lot of information.

It is well documented in 1947 original interviews that Mark Hansen had stored the book (a gift from relatives) in a drawer and Elizabeth Short apparently removed and kept it during the time she was staying at the Hansen residence in 1946. The other "myth" is that she stole it because it contained the names of powerful movers and shakers in Hollywood. According to Mark Hansen the book was BLANK at the time of its disappearance, so all and any entries in the book were put there by Elizabeth Short AFTER removing it from the residence.
