The Warbirds

One Edwin F. Burns murdered Elizabeth Short and placed the savagely debauched, disfigured and finally, if not mercifully, thoroughly severed body at N34.015/W118.333, and I can prove it.

The exact placement of the body at those coordinates virtually eliminates any other possible suspect from consideration. The odds that this gruesome tableau was somehow just a random point, a vacant lot in space is utterly belied by the fact of it's rather uncanny mathematical relationships with certain Los Angeles landmarks which raise the odds against it even further...approaching infinity, of the savage sex killer being anyone but Ed Burns.

The Google map at your right contains all the necessary information you'll need to help you get your own bearings but your long search for the truth of the matter is over. I know what a long search it was. It goes with the terrorised. Hilly and difficult to survey. Not impossible. Of the rest only The Black Dahlia Solution comes close, but I can't reproduce his results. However, he leans heavily on the FBI for a primary source. On the other hand, he can and probably has reproduced my results. Anybody could. What no one has been able to do thus far is refute them. For that I guess, I'll have to wait. But how long. For two years now it's been the flame wars followed by the filter. What the heck are you people afraid of?

To know that you have reached your aesthetic destination is to embrace the overarching tragedy of even a good war and it's ability to continue killing and maiming, gaining victims for years after the guns have been spiked. In this case we have, out of of the five people directly deceased from the Short/Burns murder/suicide and it's antecedents, only two saw action in the Pacific, but three never fired a shot in anger in their lives. Behind the lines, if not in the gaps between them. But their story was far more dangerous than any of them could know, they had become a threat to morale on the home front. Something had to be done and they hid it. The rest is rubbish. The moral of the story is they also serve who only lie and wait.
