Well, to me, the evidence is, you know, the case Alex has presented is very compelling.

There's a lot of links between the two crimes connecting the suspect, Marvin Margolis, to both cases.

So a lot of the links between the two, it's a lot of circumstantial evidence that, you know, through Alex's investigation, he has unearthed.

Obviously, the big one being the solving of the Z13 cipher.

Now, many people have tried to solve that before.

Alex has found a solution and the solution actually points to the name of one of the prime suspects in the Black Dahlia murder.

What makes that quite compelling is that that evidence was presented to the chief US code maker and code breaker for the NSA, Ed Giorgio, and he has verified it.

So, you know, you have one of the top cipher experts saying that they believe

that that solution is correct.

So at the time, police believed that she was murdered elsewhere because, as mentioned previously, she was found without blood.

There was no blood at the crime scene.

So they believed that she was killed elsewhere.

that police were searching for was that she was killed in a bathtub.

And that was how they didn't find

this grisly crime scene anywhere else.

Yeah, I mean, as you point out, there's been so many occasions where people have claimed to have solved the Zodiac and the Black Dahlia cases.

What I do think differentiates the case here is in the Black Dahlia case, you have someone who was in a relationship with Elizabeth Short.

He was also...

had that surgical experience.

He was in the medical corps while he served overseas in World War II.
