    The Black Dahlia

    E! Mysteries & Scandals: The Black Dahlia (1998)

    Mary Pacios (friend), Kyle Wood (filmmaker), Will Fowler (author), John Gilmore (biographer) and Tony Valdez (reporter) are here discussing the legendary murder of Elizabeth Short, better known as The Black Dahlia.

    This case is without question the biggest mystery in Hollywood history so it's no shock that it turns into one of the best episodes of the series. The entire running time is devoted to the murder, the infamous crime scene as well as the various theories as to who did it. If you're a fan of the series then you'll certainly love this episode because this case is without question the most notorious in film history. The episode does a very good job at telling the story of who Smart was, the graphic murder scene and the various theories as well as the aftermath of what came from her case.
