The prime suspect in this case was a man named George Hodel. George Hodel was a notorious Los Angeles doctor whose sexual proclivities and surgical knowledge have led many to believe, even his own son, that he killed Elizabeth Short. His son, former LAPD detective Steve Hodel, began his own investigation of his father. Upon going through his father’s belongings, he discovered a photo album.

After nearly 20 years of investigation, Hodel found what he believes is mounting evidence that his father not only killed Short, but possibly other women. I believe that he is the one who did it due to his past crimes and him as a person. In my opinion, the amount of evidence and sexual accusations against him adds to the suspicion. To put it short, George Hodel is the most likely perpetrator of the crime. Others may say the case is unsolvable, but the amount of evidence on George Hodel is too good. From his history of sexual offenses to possibly being involved in his own children's deaths to being involved in the darkest Hollywood debauchery. From how long ago this took, George Hodel could or could not have been involved in Elizabeth Short's

What is it like to live a life with Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)? Narcissism is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. People with this disorder can be vindictive, selfish, cunning person. They do not care who is harmed or hurt. Abigail was the leader of all of the girls that were seen dancing and calling on evil spirits. Abigail would threaten the girls by saying if they said anything, she would kill or harm them severely. She wanted what she couldn’t have, so that made her psychologically unstable. Abigail William’s would be convicted in today’s court because she gave many threats to kill the girls who were with her the night they were dancing if they spoke up in court, her behavior caused harm to many even though she may not have physically done damage herself and due to previous court cases, some people diagnosed with Narcissism were found innocent due to their mental instability but others were guilty because they were mentally unstable. As it is shown, Narcissistic Personality Disorder causes her to be selfish, arrogant, dangerous, and obsess over the man she could not have, because Abigail threatened the girls she was with the night they were dancing, to not confess to anything in court.
