Story
The Irishman is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th Century. Spanning decades, Sheeran’s story chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries, and connections to mainstream politics.

Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

No one knew that Nance was the "Missoula Mauler," a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986. Nance's only requirement for murder was accessibility - a preacher's wife, a teenage runaway, a female acquaintance, a married couple. Putting on a friendly façade, he could easily gain his victims' trust. Then, one September night, thirty-year-old Nance pushed his luck.

Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murderer was acquitted - thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the reverend. Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South.

Lots of holes
I think this podcast could have been longer and more detailed. It seems that the author was a caught in between a pissing contest between two theories. And to the outsider… it seems that there was a childish journalist who got his ego bruised and posited no evidence for his theories other than … Hodel’s an idiot.
Now, I don’t subscribe that Hodel is Beth’s killer, I do find it hard that *spoiler name withheld* did it either while suffering from his condition… they would have lost the skills required to accomplish the murder and setup of the secondary scene when dealing with Encephalomalacia. And the lack of any evidence (from this podcast) of sexual deviance and the nature of the crime just doesn’t jive.
It may be an issue of editing. But it seemed like a lot was left out that may have supported this conclusion. I’m not convinced…

What?!
The first five episodes are nicely done and present the case from several angles. However, the last episode and the final “reveal” of who the host suspects murdered Elizabeth Short was SUCH a let-down. I literally yelled out loud, “What?!” about 5 times throughout the episode. I won’t spoil it, but they literally pull this guy’s name out of a hat, and the reasons they give for his presumed guilt are actually laughable. He lived nearby and he was a surgeon. Oh and by the way, he had dementia but was still “highly skilled” and able to pull off the most macabrely detailed murder and dismemberment of all time. It doesn’t add up and the evidence they present for their conclusion is paper thin. If I was that guy’s family, I’d be pissed.

Big claims, doesn't deliver.
The blurb for this podcast states 'For eight years he leverages his CIA skillset to try and solve the Black Dahlia murder. Now, he believes he has.' If that means that the writer has read some books and now talks about them, that is correct, but if you imagine that Lax has done any original research of his own, you will be sadly disappointed.
It starts with him meeting Steve Hodel and completely falling for Hodel's belief that his father murdered Elizabeth Short. It then moves on to Lax meeting Larry Harnisch, who has another theory, and thoroughly dislikes Steve Hodel. Lax now believes Harnisch and doesn't believe Hodel. Harnisch knows who killed Elizabeth, but won't say.
In the last episode Harnisch reveals the name of who he think did the awful crime, a surgeon who lived near where Elizabeth's body was found. Absolutely no proof, just a few coincidences, it feels as though this mans name has been picked out of a hat. The family descendants of this man are now living with the cloud of suspicion that their heretofore loving father and grandfather was in fact the most evil sadistic perverted murderer of all time!!!
Avoid this podcast, I wish I had.

Talk about false advertising...
This was such a waste of time. Anyone who watched the BBC Arena James Ellroy doc 'Feast of Death' will have heard this other name mentioned back in in 2001.
Are they a likely suspect? Absolutely - but it isn't new and, with zero evidence provided, it certainly isn't solving anything.

Nothing to bring to the tragic mystery
Disappointing. It didn't give the victim a voice or illuminate her in any way. It debunked a couple of theories, that weren't very credible anyway. Big reveal a doctor lived in the neighbourhood. It was over dramatic and offered very little.

I disagree with the other reviews & can't understand why they're so negative (the actual reviews, not the ratings). I really enjoyed this podcast, sad & horrific as the case was and found it really interesting.
I did know a little bit about the case but found the research & interviews the author had done very enlightening. It was done very respectfully too.

Disappointing
After each of the first episodes, I was left confused and thinking I must have missed the actual point. Then the last episode gave the "resolution" and the former episodes felt as if they had been merely filler.. The "facts" were no more convincing than the theories discarded during the series and sadly did not warrant the optimistic title.
For the amount of times Mr Laux said Elizabeth was forgotten and only the Black Dahlia remembered, he missed the perfect opportunity to tell is who she was and how she should be remembered.

Mesmerisingly Methodical!
An absolutely phenomenal piece of work by Douglas Laux and obviously a labor of love. Douglas leaves no stone unturned (well…what stones there *are* still available to turn, he certainly lifts and looks under here). His methodical approach to this infamous murder that still shocks almost a century later is to be admired, and if anything was needed to be said to back-up just how good his work is in this regard, it is neither sensationalist or economical with the facts, as such I feel it can proudly stand as a testament to Elizabeth Short - which is certainly something that no other previously published work on this awful incident can claim - well-intentioned or not.
I guarantee you’ll be hard-pressed not to binge your way thru this in one sitting, it’s THAT good - if you’re looking for a 21st Century Digital Gumshoe, Douglas Laux is your guy!
Five stars from me all down the line.

Falls Short for Elisabeth
A great study of confirmation bias with 3 out of 4 investigators picking a suspect and trying to shoehorn the remnants of evidence into their hypothesis.
For something that claims to be looking for the victim more than the culprit, very little is said about ms Short.

Great Story & Well Told by Various Experts
I'll be upfront, this book claims to have solved the dahlia murder BUT I haven't listened to it all yet, but it has various experts with their voices....I'm drawn in and upto Chapter 2!
Plus it's a FREE Audiobook (Thanks MCRO.cc Public Links for the URL I found this)
