How did you go about doing that?

And were there any sources or archives in particular that kind of changed your understanding of the case in particular?

Totally.

And I suppose we did touch on this, but why do you think there's such a strong desire to solve this case even 80 years later?

You know, like, what is it about this one?

It's just the glitz, the glamour, the kind of Hollywood element or what is it?

No, totally agree.

And I suppose finally, William, what do you kind of hope readers take away from this version of the Black Dahlia that kind of previous books fail to offer?

Absolutely.

So the book, obviously, is The Black Dahlia by you, William J. Mann, and it's out on the 27th of January, I believe.

Absolutely.

Thank you so much, William, for coming on.

I really appreciate it.

Christopher O'Neill was sentenced to six years this week for an unprovoked one-punch attack on innocent Martin Lynn outside his home in Whitehall in July 2023.

Today I am talking to Sharon Lynn and her husband Anthony about their appeal for the leniency of this sentence and how this attack changed their lives forever.

I'm Chloe McPolin and you're listening to Crime World, a podcast by crimeworld.com.

Christopher O'Neill was sentenced for six years this week for an unprovoked attack on your brother Martin Lynn in 2023.

I suppose you've spoken about how you're unhappy with the sentence.

But if we could just go back in time and maybe talk a bit about your brother Martin and what he was like growing up, what kind of person he was.

Lovely guy.
