About this person

George Hill Hodel was an American physician, and a prime suspect in the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, also known as the Black Dahlia. He was initially considered a viable suspect but never formally charged with the crime and police ultimately cleared him after several weeks of investigation. However, two of Hodel's children believe he was guilty of killing Short. Hodel was also charged with the rape of his daughter, Tamar Hodel, but was acquitted of that crime. He lived overseas several times, primarily in the Philippines between 1950 and 1990.
