This is Crime House.

It's good to have goals, whether it's getting healthier, traveling somewhere new, or reaching a career milestone.

Our goals help us make the most of each day, and maybe even leave a

lasting mark. In the 1940s, a lot of people were drawn to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood,

and they'd do anything to see their name in lights. One of those people was Elizabeth Short.

She was a talented model who had dreams of becoming a film actress.

Almost everyone she crossed paths with thought she was destined for the big screen.

And she sacrificed a lot to make her dreams a reality.

But sometimes chasing her dreams meant showing blind trust in the people she met along the way.

And in 1947, Elizabeth fell into the hands of the wrong person.

To this day, no one knows why she suffered such a cruel fate, but her death has become

one of the most infamous and horrifying unsolved crimes in history, known as the Black Dahlia.

The Human Minds The human mind is powerful.

It shapes how we think, feel, love, and hate.

But sometimes it drives people to commit the unthinkable.
