BLACK DAHLIA EPISODE SEVENTEEN The Werewolf Murders and Was There A Police Cover Up? Part One

Part one looks into the historical corruption of Mayor Frank Shaw a decade before the Black Dahlia Murder, focusing on the war between the Shaw regime and police cronies under the leadership of Chief Two-Gun Davis against the crusading CIVIC organization led by restaurateur Clifford Clinton. This war led to the Bombing of Clinton's home and a car bombing of private investigator Harry Raymond by Captain Kynette and his squad of cops working as spies for Mayor Shaw. The Shaw's also had a scheme of selling police and city hall jobs. And during Shaw's time, Los Angeles saw a prostitution scandal similar to the Brenda Allen scandal of the forties. We then look into the many unsolved murders during the 1940s that included Georgette Bauerdorf, Jeanne French, and others along with The Black Dahlia, including the disappearance of actress Jean Spangler. These murders were sometimes called the werewolf murders or the lone woman murders. And some theorists believe they were connected to the Black Dahlia. Next week we will look into the allegations of police corruption in Los Angeles around the time of the Black Dahlia murder. Sources including but not limited to.
