Gilmore claimed to have tracked Mr. Jones down in 1978 and found him living in Indianapolis. The author went to see the man, however, and when he arrived, he just decided not to talk to him. Gilmore said, quote, I just looked at him. Now, I'm sorry I didn't talk to him about Elizabeth Short because I didn't know at the time that he had killed her. I didn't have that part of the story.

Absolutely.
