The Murder of the Black Dahlia

     On January 15 in the Year 1947 a horrible and gruesome murder occurred. On this day I life was taken a woman named the Elizabeth Short, but most know her as the Black Dahlia. For many years the murder of this terrible crime has avoided justice. Today I plan to bring his name forward and into the light. I have come to the conclusion that the murder of this horrible crime is no other than  Ed Burns.

        The murder of Elizabeth Short was not just to kill her, but to humiliate her meaning it would have to be someone close to her. According, to the site Blackdahlia.web it states that "However, he was not very attractive some even said he had rabbit like features". This quote combined with the fact that the site also says that she never really showed her off to her friends. This would show that Elizabeth Short felt a bit of embarrassment for even being with Burns. It's possible that he could tell how embarrassed she felt for just being with him, so he felt the need to humiliate her.

         It is also worth mentioning that around this time Elizabeth Short was obsessed with the Suzanne Degnan murder. In this obsessed phase she came into contact with Burns on the site  Blackdahila.web it states "However, perhaps Elizabeth began to drive him crazy with it".  Because of her obsession with this murder it could have drove him mad as she would constantly mention it too him. The site also states that she idolized William Heirens over him. It then states "He could have tied up Elizabeth, killed her, and mutilated her face in the same fashion as Suzanne Degnan to allow them to live out his twisted interpretation of her fantasy". Now this quote is not just possible it is logical, for after constant hours of having the same subject shoved in his face and the fact that his woman idolized another man over him could drive him to do a terrible thing.

          Now I believe that the current evidence I have presented aren't necessarily reasons I believe that they are factors that drove him to commit the murder. However, my biggest piece of evidence is his suicide. It is believed that he committed suicide on March 15,1947, but it's not the suicide  that interest me it's his letter. On the site the note states "To whom my concern: I waited for the police to capture me for the Black Dahlia killing, but have not. I am too much of a coward to turn myself in, so this is the best way out for me. I couldn't help myself for that or this". This letter was written two months after the Elizabeth's murder and he stated in the letter that he couldn't help it, that this was the best way out for him, and that he was sorry for that.         

         In conclusion, I believe that Ed Burns is the killer behind the Black Dahlia. All the evidence are I have presented are greatly logical. Not too mention, Burns was considered a "UNID'd Man" which is considered an unidentified man. Also his suicide letter also confirms for a good confession. This is John Henrik saying.........

CASE CLOSED.
