So this technically isn't an unsolved murder, it's just an unprosecuted murder.
-
How do you live normally after literally murdering someone?
-
When he asked if a fly turns into a ghost after being killed, it reminded me of something I read on tumblr shower thoughts “What if whenever you feel something crawling on you and there’s nothing there, it’s just the ghost of the bugs you’ve killed?”
-
George kinda sus
-
Even though Shane wasn't here from the beginning, the "Wheeze" always was.
-
When a son is so convinced his father is a criminal genius, there must be some truth
-
Whenever I binge watch these videos for hours I am always scared to just move around my own fucking house lol
-
so they got f—king snape on the line and said, “hey give us ur truth serum” that line HAD ME WHEEZING
-
why do i choose to watch these videos before i go to bed

These kinds of cases are honestly the creepiest. It's pretty much guaranteed that George Hodel was the killer (fun fact, the guy was a musical prodigy and tested far beyond a genius IQ when he was young). There are numerous documents of LAPD high command stating in private conversations amongst themselves that they knew exactly who the Black Dahlia Killer was: "a doctor who lived on Franklin Avenue in Hollywood", "a doctor they all knew in Hollywood involved in abortions", "a doctor but we didn't have enough to put him away" yet if you can't prove it then you can't exactly go screaming it from the rooftops, because you'll be hit with slander and libel lawsuits. Makes you wonder just how many other 'unsolved' murders are actually just 'known but unprovable' murders committed by high functioning individuals.

For people who's wondering what happened to the comments: The older videos has been moved from Buzzfeed Multiplayer to Buzzfeed Unsolved Network, hence the comments reset.

What saddens me is that a beautiful young girl was brutally murdered, her body mutilated and was put on a vulgar display and the killer went scot-free, probably inordinately proud of herself, while the girl, who once had dreams and ambitions, had hoped to find fame and love, became just an unsolved case. I hope one day some genius crime-solver in the police department or elsewhere will reopen the case and solve it even though the killer isn't around to be punished.
-
Whenever I watch these I get really aware of my surroundings 😂
-
Do NOT turn this into a youtube red series
-
it’s crazy how Elizabeth knows who killed her
-
"And nothing screams innocent like a secret room." ahahaha i love that
-
Cut in half, huh? Sounds like a case for C.C. Tinsley!
-
Why did they stop making these, this was the best series.
-
Her death photos should not be online, it is sick and wrong. She was a beautiful woman and her memory should be treated with respect and dignity. There are literally photos of her mutilated face and naked, severed body easily available on Google. My heart breaks. She deserves privacy and respect in death, especially after everything she went through.

Why did my man falsely confess to murder
