Who do you suppose killed the Black Dahlia?

I think it had to have been a doctor.

1. I think a police detective recently claimed that his father did it.

His father was a surgeon, and a pretty creepy guy.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- He carries it in his pocket as a talisman, a tiny 3-inch book of grainy photos that he touches now and then as if reminding himself that the horror is real.

Steve Hodel, a retired LAPD homicide detective, is adjusting to the discovery of evidence, including this little book, that he said proves his late father, a respected Los Angeles doctor, was the torture killer of Elizabeth Short, the so-called Black Dahlia. Hodel believes his father might have killed several other women, as well.

If he is correct, Hodel has cracked a more than half-century-old murder case that is the oldest and most notorious of Los Angeles' unsolved "cold cases." It also is one of the most sensational, a mystery replete with a beautiful victim, a grotesque murder, an incest trial and famous characters from the heyday of old Hollywood.

Hodel, 61, has written this gruesome tale in a book, "Black Dahlia Avenger."

2. Yeah, I watched that special on tv.

I think it was that doctor, even if it is pretty creepy that his son came forward to insist on it after his dad's death. There was a lot of weird shit going on in that family.

Honestly, the best part of that special was when one of the investigators said, "there are a lot of rumors about the Black Dahlia. She wasn't in Casablanca, she wasn't a prostitute...she wasn't a WILD-ASS LESBIAN!" My friend and I looked at each other and said in unison, "Wild-ass lesbian?" Then, we held a debate on whether I'm a "wild-ass lesbian" or merely a lesbian?

Actually, we used the term "wild-ass lesbian" to amuse each other for about three days.

3. I heard somewhere that there was something wrong with her vagina

and she couldn't be penetrated - the murderer wanted to inspect her insides and that's why the murderer cut her in half.

4. That's been largely refuted.

It seems the author has some serious unresolved issues with his father, who may not have been a nice person, but it does not look as if he could have been Elizabeth Short's killer.

5. It had to have been Bill Clinton.

Just like he did everything else.
