#历史上有什么离奇的杀人案子 #
In Hollywood, everyone has a dream... So was she. Like many young women who come to Hollywood, she also has the dream of stardom, hoping to one day become a female star on the screen and become an object of attention for ordinary people.
She did not know that her wish would indeed come true, but in a very cruel way — she would be killed and killed, and the media would be photographed as a tragic death, becoming a well-known murder victim in the United States and even the world. To this day, her grievances are unknown, and people still look at her tragedy with curious eyes. Her name is Elizabeth. Shalt, everyone called her Black Dali Flower.
Elizabeth. Scheot
Before becoming a "black Dali flower", Elizabeth. Scheot, in fact, is just an ordinary girl. From the trajectory of her life, it is hard to imagine that she will suffer this disaster in the future.
Born on July 29, 1924, Schott was the third of five girls in a Boston family. Her family was well-off, and her father built a small golf course as a business, but the economic panic of 1929 swept the country, causing the Schut family to lose all their savings overnight and the family to go bankrupt. The following year, Schott's father's empty car was found on the bridge, and it was believed that he had committed suicide because of bankruptcy. With her five daughters, Sheut's mother moved to a small apartment and worked as a secretary to raise her daughters with painstaking efforts.
In 1942, when Schott was 18 years old, the family received a surprising news: the father, who was originally thought to have committed suicide, had never died! Scheot's father wrote to his wife that he had started a new life in California and was sorry not to tell them. So, in December of that year, Schott, who had no school or job, moved to California to live with his father. However, this is not a warm development, Schott had a big fight with his father, and soon moved out, and must be self-reliant.
Schouter first got a job in a retail store, then lived with a violent military boyfriend for a while, leaving in the middle of 1943. Soon after, Schult was arrested for underage drinking and was sentenced by a judge to return to his hometown in Massachusetts. But instead of returning to her mother, Shetter went to Florida, where she met what might have been her life's destiny.
The man's name was Matthew. Michael. Gordon II was an Air Force major. He is handsome and handsome, and has serious feelings for Xiao Te. It was World War II, and Gordon was fighting in Asia, and while recuperating in India, he wrote to Scheot to propose marriage, but Scheot accepted and happily told her friend.
If the two can really get married, perhaps the United States will have one more veteran's wife and one less "black Dali flower". But fate is so cruel that Elizabeth. Schoutert could not marry Gordon because Gordon died in a plane crash on August 10, 1945, leaving Japan to surrender in just five days. Shaw's lifelong happiness has disappeared, and she must continue to stand on her own feet and find her new dreams.
So she returned to California, working as a waiter in Los Angeles and dreaming of being a Hollywood star. She did not know what terrible fate awaited her behind this dream.
Matthew. Michael. Major Gordon II
On January 9, 1947, the United States was slowly recovering from the trauma of the war, Elizabeth. Schoutert also came out of the haze of Gordon's death and returned from a date with a married man in Los Angeles. Scheot is taken to the Bitmore Hotel by her male companion, where she meets her visiting sisters. The hotel's waiter saw her using a telephone in the lobby, and soon after, she was witnessed at a cocktail bar 600 meters from the Bitmore Hotel. Her whereabouts are unknown.
Six days later, the girl with the dream of stardom will make a name for herself in a shocking way.
On the morning of January 15, in a clearing on the west side of South Norton Avenue in The Lemmert Park district of Los Angeles, a local resident saw the wreckage of a dummy suspected of being abandoned, and she took her three-year-old daughter to look at it... It wasn't a dummy, it was a human corpse that had been brutally decomposed! Frightened, the woman ran to a neighboring house with her daughter and borrowed a phone to call the police.
Soon, the lively passers-by and reporters who smelled the wind gathered at the scene of the corpse, crowding the scene to the ground, and probably destroying the traces left by the murderer. The reporters snapped up a large number of photos of the corpses, leaving no dignity for the dead. However, this cannot be completely blamed on them, because the death of this body is so strange that it is difficult for people to look directly, and it is even more difficult to turn their eyes away.
A woman's naked body, cut in half from the waist, separated by 30 centimeters between the upper and lower parts of the body, and neatly tucked into the navel eye. She has multiple cuts in her thighs and chest, and the corners of her mouth are cut upwards, forming the so-called "Glasgow Smile", which is the smiling face of the well-known comic book villain Clown. The eerie tearing smile made the tragically dead body look even more frightening.
The woman was pale, almost all the blood was drained, the body and the scene of the abandoned body were clean, there was no blood, so that the case officers deduced that the woman was killed elsewhere, and after cleaning and treatment, it was abandoned here. The position of the deceased when she was found was apparently deliberately manipulated by the killer, her hands were raised over her head, and her legs were deliberately fanned out.
This is a murder case that is so violent that it is beyond common sense, the body of the deceased has been brutally abused, and without much knowledge, any bystander can infer that the murderer's thinking and mental state are different from ordinary people. At this time, everyone did not know who this girl was, let alone why she died so tragically, and why did the murderer go to such great trouble?
The tragic condition of Schott's body
The identification of the deceased went exceptionally smoothly, thanks to the deceased Elizabeth. Schoutert was once arrested for drinking alcohol as a minor, leaving fingerprint records to compare. After an autopsy, Schulte's cause of death was determined to be bleeding from a laceration on his face and a blow to the head. As for the terrible waist slash, it should have been carried out after her death. In addition, Schult's anus also dilated, suggesting that she may have been raped during her lifetime. However, the forensic doctor was unable to find any remnants of semen from her.
Forensics believe that Schulte's death was about 10 hours before the discovery, around the evening of January 14 and the early morning of January 15, when Sheut was killed. The slash that turns Schetter into two halves uses the technique of so-called hemiserectomy, and the murderer very precisely cuts her body between the second and third lumbar vertebrae of Schott, and the person who can possess this technique is probably a skilled hand in killing if he does not have the knowledge and technology of medicine or slaughter.
Who killed Schott? Why treat the body in such a perverted way? The act of cleaning the remains and deliberately disposing of them in urban areas seems to be deliberately discovered, so what kind of message is to be conveyed to the public and the police? All kinds of mysteries, entangled in this strange and horrific murder case, made the Los Angeles police feel that one head two big.
To make matters worse, the media's high attention and large coverage of the case have made the investigation of the case even more difficult. Somehow, the media gave Schoet the nickname "Black Dali Flower", probably inspired by the thriller movie "Blue Dali Flower" a year ago. The city is buzzing with discussion about the bizarre murder, and the media is desperate to pursue more sensational reporting in order to boost the newspaper's morale. The Los Angeles Inspector, owned by media mogul Hurst, called Elizabeth. Scheot's mother, who lied that her daughter had won the beauty pageant, tricked Schetter's mother into telling the media more about Scheot's background before telling her about the tragedy of her daughter's murder. Later, they published very sensational reports, declaring that Schult was dressed in revealing clothes and was a dreamer who aspired to climb the Hollywood Walk of Fame. From today's point of view, all this is too inconsistent with journalistic ethics, but it is very much in line with the image of journalists who disregard their conscience for the sake of traffic.
The media took advantage of the "black Dali flower" to see the eyes of the murderer, not knowing whether it provoked his interest. Soon after, strange messages began to come one by one.

On January 21, 1947, the editor-in-chief of the "Inspection Newspaper" received a strange phone call, and the other party actually claimed that he was the murderer of the "Black Dali Flower"! He first congratulated the Inspectorate on the success of its coverage of the case, and then asked them to look forward to what he was going to send next, which contained "Beth. Schott's souvenir".
On January 24, the letter was not successfully delivered to the office of the Inspection Newspaper, but was first intercepted by postal personnel halfway. The suspicious letter came from Manila, received by the Los Angeles Inspection Newspaper, which read, "This is something from Dali flowers, such as a letter." The envelope was covered with Schott's birth certificate, business cards, photographs, paper with Scheot's name on it, and a book signed "Mark. HanSen's address book. The entire package was carefully cleaned with gasoline, and half a fingerprint could be found that could be used for comparison.
On the same day, in an alley two kilometers away from the site of the "Black Dali Flower" abandonment, a handbag and a woman's black shoes were found on the trash can, and after confirmation, both items belonged to Elizabeth. Schoutert all. The above was also cleaned with gasoline, leaving no fingerprint residue. Are these deliberately returned items from the murderer's provocations to the police and the media? What exactly does he hope to achieve through these actions?
On March 14, something even weirder happened. On the cliff at the end of the breeze leading to Venice Beach, a pile of men's clothes appeared with a note tucked inside that read: "To all who care: I have been waiting for the police to arrest me for the black Dali flower murder, and I have not been able to wait for a long time." I was too cowardly to extricate myself, so that was my best way out. There's no other way I can't, sorry, Mary."
Is this really what was left behind by Schott's killer? Did the murderer really jump off a cliff and commit suicide? The police tried to find out who had the clothes, but found nothing. The message on the note could not be verified, let alone that no one knew who Mary really was.
In fact, the "murderer" conveyed more than just the above evidence and information to the media and the police. Since the incident, there have been many letters and telephone calls from the surrender to the media and the police, some of which have made a false claim that they will throw themselves into the net at a specific point in time; Others simply admit that they are murderers. However, most of the "self-surrenderers" are incited because of the frenzied media reports, pretending to be the murderer to satisfy some kind of desire to get out of their minds, which is easy to appear in the unsolved murder cases that are sensational and get too much media attention. After investigation, the police confiscated all the people and prosecuted some of them for obstruction of justice.
So, who is the real murderer? We can infer that the previously sent back Scheot birth certificate, abandoned shoes and other items should be the real murderer, but how to find the murderer from the unsubstantiated items? The Los Angeles police had no clue, and could only investigate Schott's former contacts and people with medical backgrounds. For example, the male companion who sent Schut back to the hotel on January 9 was also investigated by the police, but he passed the lie detector test. Others were most likely excluded.
I remember that in the letter sent to the Inspection Newspaper, there was a copy of "Mark. Hansen's address book? This Mark. Who is Han Sen? This man was not simple, he was running a theater and a nightclub at the same time, and he was a rich big boss who happened to be with Elizabeth. Schouter was very familiar. However, according to the testimony of Schott's roommate, Han Sen repeatedly made invitations to Shaw, but They were all rejected by Shaw. The police therefore suspect that Han Sen has a grudge against Xiao Te for this reason and decides to attack her.
Although this theory seems credible, the police can't find evidence of Han Sen's attack, after all, if you think about it, if a rich boss is unhappy with a woman who rejects him, will he personally kill her? Unless he's a big pervert. Although the detectives investigating the case regarded Han Sen as the main suspect, since they could not find relevant evidence that Han Sen had medical anatomy knowledge, nor could they prove that he was related to the case, they could only let him go.
It could be George the real murderer of the black Dali flower murder. Dr. Hodel
Two years after the "Black Dali Flower" case, another suspect entered the police's suspicions, this person is George Jr. Dr. Hodel. Dr. Hodel was brought to court for being accused of sexual assault by his daughter, and although he was acquitted in the assault case, he attracted the attention of the police, believing that he might have killed Elizabeth. Schotter's murderer.
The police's suspicion of Hodel is not unfounded, Dr. Hoddell not only has the skills needed to dismember the body, but also suspects of sexually assaulting his daughter, and has been recorded in a recording: "Assuming that I really killed Black Dali and spent it well, they can't prove it now." They couldn't talk to my secretary because she was dead... They think things are wrong. In any case, now they have to figure it out for themselves. Kill her, maybe I really killed my secretary..."
Does the text of this recording make people feel creepy? Did Dr. Hodel kill Schult? We can't be sure, but we do know that his secretary is dead, and it is suspected that he killed him. Because he used hypothetical tones carefully, the recording, though full of hints, could not be used to convict. Dr. Hodel was never prosecuted for the Black Dali Flower Case during his lifetime, and after his death, his son Steve. In 2003, Hodel published a book, The Avengers of the Black Dali Flower: The Genius of Murder, claiming that his father was the murderer of the Black Dali Flower case and committing other crimes. The evidence presented in this book also fails to prove Dr. Hodel's crime, but as a father, he actually let his son publish a book accusing him of being a murderer, which is probably a kind of resentment!
To this day, the "Black Dali Flower" is still a pending case, Elizabeth. The name Schulte can still bring a little tremor in the United States and around the world. Her tragic death can never be forgotten, let alone that the wicked who committed such a cruel crime were finally able to get away with it and disappear into ordinary society... Just thinking about you and me hiding such perverted people around me makes people can't help but sigh that the dark side of the world is so heavy.
