What is in Elizabeth Shorts FBI file?
A. Here’s a sample from her file. While the censorship on this page is extreme, it is by no means the exception. Because the murder was not under the FBI’s jurisdiction, there is very little pertinent in the file, which consists mostly of newspaper articles clipped from the Washington newspapers, memos on identifying Elizabeth Short’s fingerprints, and anonymous statements from people who claimed to have known her. You could buy a “bound” copy for $30 on ebay, but here’s the FBI’s link to her file–for free. Note that it mistakenly calls her Elizabeth Ann, the alleged middle name she erroneously received in a 1970s Los Angeles Times story. In fact, she didn’t have a middle name.
