Big claims, doesn't deliver.
The blurb for this podcast states 'For eight years he leverages his CIA skillset to try and solve the Black Dahlia murder. Now, he believes he has.' If that means that the writer has read some books and now talks about them, that is correct, but if you imagine that Lax has done any original research of his own, you will be sadly disappointed.
It starts with him meeting Steve Hodel and completely falling for Hodel's belief that his father murdered Elizabeth Short. It then moves on to Lax meeting Larry Harnisch, who has another theory, and thoroughly dislikes Steve Hodel. Lax now believes Harnisch and doesn't believe Hodel. Harnisch knows who killed Elizabeth, but won't say.
In the last episode Harnisch reveals the name of who he think did the awful crime, a surgeon who lived near where Elizabeth's body was found. Absolutely no proof, just a few coincidences, it feels as though this mans name has been picked out of a hat. The family descendants of this man are now living with the cloud of suspicion that their heretofore loving father and grandfather was in fact the most evil sadistic perverted murderer of all time!!!
Avoid this podcast, I wish I had.
