I would think so. Like you're not sending the homicide division to a sleeping drunk. Yeah, exactly. I'm just a little confused. And again, I've never been in this situation. How the person on the other end confused what she said so hard. Yeah. And like you said, with the amount of anxiety and panic in her voice... I feel like you would question.

She's not going to be that upset about a drunk sleeping. It's like, I don't know. I feel like there should have been a little, maybe, I don't know if she hung up quickly and maybe they couldn't get anything else. I don't know. But I'm like, wow, this really, this game of telephone busted up right away.

The news, of course, brought more reporters and soon the crime scene was absolutely overtaken by reporters, photographers, additional LAPD officers. Probably just onlookers. Just chaos.

And in order to keep as many people as they could out of the crime scene now, detectives told patrol officers and some of the reporters at this point, because they needed however many people they could, to make a human chain around the perimeter to keep people out. Dear God. But by this point, the scene had been absolutely trampled by so many people coming and going.

And honestly, it remained open to the press long after investigators left as well. So whatever evidence was maybe there, totally tainted.

exactly most likely and it's like after investigators left that scene should have been cordoned off and somebody should have been stationed there and that way they can go back to the scene if they need to something comes up you go wait let's get back to that scene and take a look again yeah and they didn't do any of that so people were just trampling right through it right after they left it's like guys what were you thinking i don't i don't get it at all

It was common for murder victims to be dumped in various locations, like the lot where Elizabeth Short was found, especially around Los Angeles. It was just, you know, just the area. But from the moment investigators arrived at the scene, it was clear that this was not their run of the mill. No.

There was a lot here. It was definitely not the killer trying to get rid of this body quickly. No. That is for sure. Like, this was not like, I just have to remove myself from this situation. Shock factor. They had arranged Elizabeth Short's body in a very particular way and had chosen a location where she would 100% be discovered very quickly. Mm-hmm. Like... Very quickly.

And the way she was arranged, like the two halves of her body were placed close to one another with about 12 inches between them. And the upper half was placed somewhat asymmetrically from the lower half, like a little bit to the side. And her arms were raised above her head and both of them were bent at an angle. Okay. Very much so like you were posing for a photograph. Right. That makes sense.

She was also completely nude. But it was very much like she was posing like you would lay on a bed to pose for a photograph. Yeah. Like you would see in a magazine at the time.
