The brutal 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, movies and films including Brian De Palma’s 2006 feature film The Black Dahlia starring Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett and the Chris Pine-led 2019 TNT limited series I Am The Night. “The team behind a new docuseries that is in the works has claimed that they have uncovered a series of ‘startling’ new leads, including a primary suspect and evidence proving the location of the murder, and is currently pushing the LA Police Department to release key pieces of evidence that have been withheld for nearly eight decades,” says Deadline’s Peter White. “The project, Deconstructing Dahlia, comes from production company Talestorm. The team behind the series said that they have discovered a ‘major bloodshed event and a concealed, walled-up room at a location tied to the investigation’, evidence suggesting that the original crime scene was ‘altered’ and new witnesses that never came forward as well as other new information.”
