Hodel, a former LAPD detective, has spent decades investigating the Black Dahlia case. His groundbreaking work led to the identification of his own father, Dr. George Hodel, as the prime suspect. In Black Dahlia Avenger III, Hodel presents a wealth of new information that strengthens the case against his father and sheds new light on the motives behind the murder.

The Evidence

Hodel's evidence against his father is both compelling and damning. He provides eyewitness testimony, forensic evidence, and DNA analysis that all point to Dr. Hodel as the killer.

One of the most important pieces of evidence is a photograph taken by Dr. Hodel himself. The photo shows Elizabeth Short's body in a pose that is identical to that of the Black Dahlia victim. Hodel also provides evidence that his father was a member of a satanic cult that may have been involved in the murder.

In addition to the physical evidence, Hodel also presents a convincing psychological profile of his father. He paints a picture of a man who was both brilliant and depraved, a man who was capable of committing the most heinous of crimes.

The Motive

Hodel believes that his father killed Elizabeth Short because she had become a threat to his political career. Dr. Hodel was a prominent member of the LAPD and was running for mayor of Los Angeles at the time of the murder. Hodel believes that Elizabeth Short had information that could have damaged his father's campaign.

Hodel also presents evidence that his father was a serial killer. He believes that Dr. Hodel killed at least 15 other women in Los Angeles in the 1940s and 1950s.

The

Black Dahlia Avenger III is a riveting and deeply disturbing account of one of the most infamous unsolved crimes in American history. Hodel's evidence is compelling and his s are both shocking and plausible. This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in true crime, forensics, or the dark side of human nature.
