#5 Weep, Weep no more … The Black Dahlia Mystery Murder.







Weep, Weep no more … [1]The Black Dahlia Mystery Murder.  

The murder of Elizabeth Short shocked the nation, the police, the system of justice. The circumstances of the murder and the motives are till nowadays unknown. Elizabeth Short grew up in Medford, Boston, Massachusetts. Her father, Cleo Short, lost all his money in 1926, during the great depression he was believed he committed suicide (rumors appeared to be fake, he was found in California).




Elizabeth Short’s relationship with her father whom she found in California was rough, filled with rows and argumentation. She escaped to Santa Barbara couple of times, in her early youth she moderately drank alcohol, not to excess, though. She changed works like one changes gloves, she has never had a steady job. It is still a great mystery how she earned for a living, what was checked and acknowledged, she has never been a prostitute. 







She was found dead in one of the boroughs of LA, the body was found by the passer-by Betty Bersinger. Her disfigured body looked horrifying, mutilated, sliced at the waist. The body didn’t contain any blood, it was completely drained out of it. Her face had been severely wounded, the murdered gave her two big, sharp lice from mouth to ear on both sides, creating “Glasgow Smile”. The cuts and wounds were also on her tights and breasts. The cause of death was multiple hemorrhage. The autopsy denied the rumors that Short was pregnant, according to the examination she has never been pregnant.
 
Despite the fact that lots of people were ready to confess their part in that horrid murder, no one has ever been convicted.

The Classification of Gunshot Wounds

Gunshot wounds are either penetrating or perforating. Penetrating wounds occur when a bullet enters an object and does not exit; in perforating wounds, the bullet passes completely through the object. A wound, however, can be both penetrating and perforating. Gunshot wounds can be divided into four broad categories, depending on the range from the muzzle to target: contact, near contact, intermediate, and distant. In contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is held against the surface of the body at the time of discharge. Contact wounds may be hard, loose, angled, or incomplete . In hard-contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is jammed “hard” against the skin, indenting it, so that the skin envelops the muzzle. In hard contact wounds, the immediate edges of the entrance are seared by the hot gases of combustion and blackened by the soot. This soot is embedded in the seared skin and cannot be completely removed either by washing or by vigorous scrubbing of the wound. In...
