Hodel-BlackDahlia Case File No. 30-1268: Containing the official, unabridged, 1950 law-enforcement Electronic Surveillance Recordings of Dr. George Hill Hodel

LADA Bureau of Investigation Hodel-Black Dahlia Case File No. 30-1268 contains the official unabridged transcripts of the 1950 electronic surveillance stake-out by a joint taskforce from the LADA Bureau of Investigation and LAPDâ€™s homicide detectives. The wire-recordings capture, Dr. George Hill Hodelâ€™s secret conversations in which he confessed to: police payoffs, performing illegal abortions and admissions to having committed the 1945 murder of his personal secretary, Ruth Spaulding as well as the 1947 torture-murder of Elizabeth â€œBlack Dahliaâ€ Short. These transcripts also contain the assault, beating and probable real-time murder of a woman as recorded by detectives during their actual 1950 police stakeout. The on-duty detectives listen in as their prime-suspect, Dr. George Hill Hodel, accompanied by a second man, Baron Ernst Harringa, go downstairs to the residence basement. Detectives listen in and hear sounds of a pipe striking an object, â€œA woman screamsâ€ more blows, â€œa woman screams againâ€ then silence. The officers, though only minutes away from the residence, TAKE NO ACTION. This is the â€œsmoking gunâ€ that law enforcement cannot allow to be made public. The police and political powers that beâ€”make their decision. The transcripts are sealed and locked away for fifty-four years and are not discovered until the publication of Black Dahlia Avenger, which opens the locked files at the L.A. District Attorneyâ€™s Office and ultimately results in these transcripts being made public.
In addition to the original 146-page transcripts of the DA/LAPD forty-day stakeout, the book contains a chapter originally published in Black Dahlia Avenger II, (the authorâ€™s follow-up investigation 2006-2012) providing background and biographical information on the two law-enforcement heroes of this real life investigationâ€”D.A. Lt. Frank Jemison and his partner, D.A. investigator Walter Morgan. Also included is Lt. Frank Jemisonâ€™s original six-page transcribed interview on March 22, 1950, with Dr. George Hill Hodelâ€™s ex-wife, Dorothy Huston Hodel (authorâ€™s mother and former wife of famed film director, John Huston). During this interview, conducted at her apartment on the Santa Monica pier, Dorothy stonewalls Lt. Jemisonâ€™s attempts at getting to the truth and the following day alerts Dr. Hodel to the evidence that the DAâ€™s investigators have accumulated. Dr. George Hill Hodel, after receiving this information and realizing he is about to be arrestedâ€”flees the country just four days later.
â€œWe identified the Black Dahlia suspect. He was a doctor.â€

â€œThe Black Dahlia case was solved. He was a doctor who lived on Franklin Avenue in Hollywood.â€
Thad Brown, LAPD Chief of Detectives
â€œThe Black Dahlia case was solved, but it will never come out. The suspect was a doctor they [LAPD] all knew in Hollywood, involved in abortions.â€
James Downey, Undersheriff, LASD
â€œWe know who the Black Dahlia killer was. He was a doctor [George Hodel] but we didnâ€™t have enough to put him away.â€
