Summary
This season was A LOT. So many people, places, incidents, etc. to keep track of, especially over the course of a month... so we've taken out the intros and outros from episodes 2, 3 and 4 so that you can just follow the story straight from start to finish. Make sure to check out Part II to hear episodes 3 and 4 - out now!
Ash and Megan from Give Us Morgue explore the man behind the mystery of who most likely killed Elizabeth Short (aka The Black Dahlia), George Hodel; as well as the generational wake of terror and destruction that he left, causing members of his own family to name the podcast Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia after him.
-In episode one, Ash and Megan dig into the murder of Elizabeth Short.
Trigger warning for SA and torture.
-In the second episode, Ash and Megan look into George Hodel, the Hollywood doctor who allegedly SA'd and murdered multiple women, and likely killed Elizabeth Short.
Trigger warning for SA and highly disturbing themes.
