There's other circumstantial evidence supporting the Black Dahlia murder as a mob hit.
Siegel's movement around the time of the Black Dahlia killing raises even more questions.
Coming up, a Hollywood detective goes digging into his own past and thinks he's finally solved the Black Dahlia murder.
The LAPD has kept its most famous cold case open since 1947, and the detective assigned to the Black Dahlia murder must evaluate all the new leads and theories that continue to come in, like the one that comes from a former homicide detective who believes he's tracked the elusive killer right to his own front door.
Steve Hodell is a 24-year veteran of the LAPD, but he never investigated the Black Dahlia case himself until the death of his beloved father, Dr.
George Hodell, in 1999.
Which is theory number five.
The killer was a notorious Hollywood doctor.
But over time, Steve Hodell's investigation would lead him to a horrifying conclusion and cast his father in a very different light.
He'll go on to have eleven children by five different women.
By the 1940s, Hodell is swinging amongst an elite LA crowd, including surrealist photographer Man Ray and movie director John Houston.
Then in 1945, he's accused by his daughter Tamar of sexual abuse.
During the trial, Tamar accuses Hodell of murdering the Black Dahlia.
Investigators spend the next 40 days and nights monitoring and recording conversations inside the Hodel home.
The deeper Steve digs into the Black Dahlia evidence, the more convinced he becomes that his dad is the monster who tortured and mutilated Elizabeth Short.
Another clue for Steve Hodell is the concrete bag found at the Black Dahlia crime scene.
Studying the crime scene photos, Steve also believes he's established a motive.
In 1950, just when it seems the case against George Hodell is heating up, the doctor abruptly moves to the Philippines, which at the time has no extradition treaty with the US.
In 2017, the 70-year anniversary of Elizabeth Short's murder, a fresh look at the unredacted records breathes new life into an investigation that has never officially been closed.
Some believe that solution may involve a man who made headlines in the months after the murder.
