Summary

Author Eli Frankel discusses the striking similarities between the 1941 murder of Layla Welsh and the 1947 Black Dahlia case, highlighting identical mutilations and blood-avoidance tactics. He argues that Carl Balsiger, a bakery owner connected to both victims, is the likely killer, citing coconut brush bristles found in Elizabeth Short’s wounds that matched bakery tools. Frankel suggests the LAPD’s investigation was hindered when Kansas City police failed to share crucial files, possibly due to political connections or embarrassment.
