‘Deconstructing Dahlia’ Series in the Works, Revolving Around New Evidence in Black Dahlia Murder
A new docuseries titled ‘Deconstructing Dahlia’ is in the works, claiming to have new evidence regarding the Black Dahlia murder.
The world’s fascination with the murder of Elizabeth Short in 1947 Los Angeles, otherwise known as the Black Dahlia, remains as strong as ever, as Deadline reports that a brand new docuseries is in the works.
Titled Deconstructing Dahlia, the series hails from production company, Talestorm.
Jeff Thomas VII directs with Kimberly Lupini producing.
The team behind the series claims that they’ve uncovered “startling” new leads. Said leads involve the team’s discovery of a “major bloodshed event and a concealed, walled-up room at a location tied to the investigation”, with evidence suggesting that the original crime scene was “altered”. Apparently, the series will also feature witnesses that never came forward as well as other new information.
According to the outlet, the team is currently pushing the LA Police Department to release key pieces of evidence that have been withheld for nearly eight decades.
The outlet also notes that the announcement “comes days after forensic examiner Alex Baber claimed that he found evidence that links Short’s ex-boyfriend Marvin Margolis to the brutal crime as well as to the Zodiac killer.”
Said the Short family, “As family members of Elizabeth Short, we have lived for years without knowing what happened to our daughter, sister, and aunt. We respect the work Talestorm has done”.
The team includes filmmakers, investigators, and retired law enforcement officials such as former Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, investigator and retired US Marshal Commander Lenny DePaul, former White House Chief Information Officer Theresa Payton, and author and retired LAPD detective Mike Rothmiller.
Various films have revolved around the Black Dahlia murder, including the 2006 Brian De Palma movie, The Black Dahlia. Perhaps Deconstructing Dahlia will finally provide some answers. We’ll have to wait and see.
