America's Most Infamous Crimes with Katie Ring

In the first part of our 3-part series on the Black Dahlia, Katie Ring traces who Elizabeth really was: the fiancé she lost days before the war ended, the stories she told strangers to get by, and the last place anyone can prove she was seen alive.

Five women appear dead in those files, and investigators just dug up bones in the backyard. Years earlier, Raymond published a “fictional” serial killer confession.
