There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started. I'm coming in hot this week. I solved the murder by myself in my office over the break. I know everything that's happened. I know everything that will happen. Just in time. The key is now I'm deleting it. So I'm going to forget the man I was. I was a private detective for about eight days. Okay. Because I had nothing but time. I had nothing but weed. Baldur's Gate. You were following people? I was going to go home everywhere, asking them, you know Elizabeth Short? Yeah? Do you know Deborah Tall? Yeah. But no, this is the, oh man, I'm dragging Marcus down fucking with me, man. I'm dragging his fucking ass down to the fucking hole with me, bro.
He keeps saying it so much that he thinks it's going to come true one day. I'm bringing him down with me, man.
I'm making him worse. Well, it doesn't matter what your theory is, because even if you're right, all the evidence has been destroyed and there's no way to prove it. Some of it might be hidden.
Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marcus Parks. I'm here with true detective Henry Zebrowski.
Yeah, yeah, time to fly a circle. Give me six beers. Honestly, that's how I should have started the show, with a six-pack like Matthew McConaughey. When he's in the interrogation room. And just keep opening up and then cutting them into little men, you know, and I'm like cutting the little men in half.
And the equally inquisitive Ed Larson.
I'm curious, but at the end of the day, I don't care. Eddie, you should care. You know why? Because if I was a highly artistic, motivated, full of himself serial killer, and I mean this with all love because of how much I love you and how close we are. the fun of playing with your guts. How thick and meaty would be to like, because that's the thing, serial killers, they always do with these skinny minis. Where it's like, the idea of coming at you, like how much fun playing with your tits. I'd be easy to drug and poison too. You'd just take Anything. Yeah, I love to eat and drink. Especially if you meet him at a concert. Oh, my God, yeah. You can put it on the weed that you give me. Dude, just fucking the idea of playing with your big fat cheeks and playing with your cut-off body parts. It does take a lot to take me down, though.
Yeah, I know. You need an elephant gun, man.
I'm ready. That is true. I still feel like I could hit you with a cast iron.
Yeah, I know. Maybe. But at the same time, I could take more than one hit, and usually I'll fall on top of you. That's the problem.
When I fight, I fall on top of you, and then I just smother your head into the ground a bunch of times until it becomes spaghetti.
Well, here we are at Black Dahlia Part 3. Now, to recap our story thus far, let's start with the main suspect in the case, Leslie Dillon, and the reasons why he makes a compelling, if admittedly flawed, candidate in the murder of Elizabeth Short. Interesting hesitation for Marcus Parks.
You said that the crime was solved at the beginning of the very series, Marcus.
Yes, that is true, and I shall address that statement later on in this episode. Bringing him down with me to the bottom of the well. He didn't do anything. I came upon the conclusion by myself.
I'm bringing him down with me. I said him stuff. He read it. We talked about it. No, you're wrong. Well, you know.
Leslie Dillon. Leslie Dillon, 25 years old when the murder took place, was a small-time crook who was suspected to have worked with the same underworld figures in Los Angeles that Elizabeth Short was associating with in the months before her murder. Two years after Elizabeth was killed, Leslie Dillon wrote to Dr. Joseph Paul DeRiver of the LAPD under the pseudonym Jack Sand, responding to an article Dr. DeRiver had planted about the Black Dahlia murder in True Detective magazine. Dylan later said that the only reason why he contacted Dr. Deriver was because he had an interest in true crime and wanted to get into the business and had expressed in his letter a desire to collaborate with Dr. Deriver in writing a book about psychopathic cases like the Black Dahlia murder.
