This included a report from a young woman in Culver City who told police she'd been waiting for a bus when a man in a 1940 sedan approached her. Isabel Foster said, quote, the man asked me if I wanted a ride. I refused. He then took out a long butcher knife and ordered me into his car. She started to panic and started to cry.

And the man told her, shut up or he would give me what he gave the black Dahlia. Okay. Which like, here's the thing. I don't think he's out here. I could be wrong because he's a fucking asshole who ever did this. So it's like whatever. It would be weird to me if he was just out on the street being like shut up or I'll do to you like I did the Black Dahlia.

Like I don't think he's just going to be like the Black Dahlia. Yeah. Like I don't think I'm going to be out like I don't think he's going to be running around saying it to everybody out on the streets. Maybe he's saying it to people in his life. Yeah. For sure. I could see this guy being an idiot. Yeah. And who we think it might be. I think he was talking about it with people in his life.

I don't think he's had a random bus stop trying to kidnap somebody and being like, if you don't get in my car, I'm going to do the same thing I did to the Black Dahlia to you.

And it's like, now this girl's going to fight even more. Like, you can, that doesn't make sense.

Yeah. Reports like that of Daniel Voorhees, Joseph Dumais, Isabel Foster's report of this man with the butcher knife, and all the others, they didn't pan out. And they were so common. Yeah. They were just, they kept coming in. From the moment the body was discovered, the front pages of every major newspaper in the LA area were dominated by the case of the Black Dahlia. So it just kept on coming.

Yeah. Such intense public interest drove equally intense press coverage and led to so many hoaxes, so many false confessions, tons of mistaken identities, complete lies, just people inserting themselves. While these stories may have been, you know, great to read in the paper, very interesting,

And they honestly made the case appear very complex and very fast-paced and very like da-da-da-da-da, you know, like we're running down leads and we're doing this. The truth was this whole thing was indicative of just how little information detectives had to work with. Yep. And it soon became apparent to the press and the readers of these papers that the case was growing cold. Yeah.

Because every time these things came out, it was like, no. Yep. And we don't have anything now. By the end of February, investigators were literally grasping at straws at this point, looking for any detail or any clue that could just give a little spark to this case. But they were coming up empty, which is crazy. It is. With how this woman – and it kills me because –

They had clues at the crime scene. Yeah, that partial footprint and tire tracks. Massive clues. So to be honest, they fucked themselves from the beginning. It's real cool that they're running down leads now. You fucked yourself over. You had clues.
