Upcoming Interview: Voices from the Grave — Black Dahlia Avenger/Zodiac Linkage, Friday, July 10, at 5 PM (PST))

January 5, 2026
Birch Bay, Washington

This Friday at 5 PM I’ll be joining my longtime friends Karen Smith and Alisa Statman on Voices from the Grave for a conversation about the Black Dahlia case, the Sowden House, and the Black Dahlia / Zodiac linkage explored in my work over the years.

Karen, Alisa, and their team have conducted extensive research into the Sowden House and related Los Angeles cases, so I expect the discussion will cover both their findings and the documentary record of my own investigation.

In light of the current media attention surrounding renewed claims about the Black Dahlia/Zodiac connection, I’ll also be discussing the factual basis and historical development of my own investigation.
