So although he appeared to be telling the truth, Manley's story was inconsistent with other statements gathered by police, particularly that of William Sullivan, a railway express clerk who claimed to have seen Elizabeth on January 14th. According to Sullivan, quote, a woman resembling a woman resembling short visited the office about noon on January 14th, accompanied by a red haired man.

and inquired about shipping a trunk and some suitcases to Ketchkin Hospital. When asked to whom the items were being shipped, the woman said to herself and gave the name Elizabeth Short. Okay. The same couple was seen about an hour later by Jadel Gray, a waitress at a cafe in San Diego.

Gray described the man as, quote, very fair complexioned and said his hair was quite straight and he was slightly freckled. Okay.

Sounds like a ginger. Based on these witness identifications, Manley was beginning to look like a pretty strong suspect. He sure was. But the following day, Sullivan admitted to detectives that he had been mistaken in his identification of Manley and in fact did not believe it was the same person.

Sullivan changed his story when police told him that another young woman matching Short's description had come forward to say she had been at the express office with her red haired boyfriend on January 14th. Oh, shit. When he was shown a picture of the woman, he immediately recognized her as the one person he'd seen that night. And remember, he said that she used her name. So he just lied.

Now, only one week into the investigation, detectives who had been certain the key to finding Elizabeth's killer was in her love life had now begun to accept the boyfriend angle was probably a dead end. Yeah, it seemed like it. They weren't going to find him in there. And that is where we are going to end for part one. You butthead. Because we have some real suspects coming in part two.

I know who they are. And it's going to get crazy. The story just gets wilder as you go.
