Many different things for a living person. Right. It's a very intense procedure, a very complicated procedure. And again, this person cut in the same spot that you cut for this specific procedure. So that they didn't have to cut through a bone. Which is strange. And you, I'm telling you, you open up a body and you take a look at that spinal cord.

It is not as simplistic as you think it's going to be to just chop through between a vertebrae. You know what I mean? So it's got to be someone who knows what they're doing and has seen this before. They didn't just open her up for the first time and just figure it all out. Right. It's just not something they've opened people up before and they've seen what's going on.

During the autopsy, fingerprints were taken and passed along to the main offices of the FBI, and in their coverage of the story the day after Short's body was discovered, the Los Angeles Examiner included a lengthy description of who the girl was. They were hoping someone would see this description of her, the physical description, and come forward.

Among other things, though, the examiner described her as between 15 and 16 years old. Nope. With enameled pink toenails and a three and a half inch operational scar on the right side of her back. She was also described as, quote, rather well developed with small bones and trim legs. Okay. Okay. I'm like, you want to throw any other descriptors in there?

Okay. Very 40s. Truly. Fortunately for investigators, once the identification division of the Washington, D.C. office of the FBI got the photos of her fingerprints, they found a match within an hour. They identified Elizabeth Short from their card file of more than 104 million possible matches. Wow. Yeah.
