    116: “I Have You”: The Unsolved Murder of Dorothy Jane Scott
    2026/08/05
    For months, Dorothy Jane Scott received terrifying phone calls from an unidentified stalker who seemed to know her every move. Then, on May 28, 1980, Dorothy vanished from a hospital parking lot while helping a sick coworker, and her abandoned car was later found burning nearby.
    Years after her disappearance, Dorothy’s remains were discovered, but her killer was never identified. Even more disturbing, the mysterious caller continued contacting her family after she vanished.
    In this episode of That’s Disturbing, we explore the unsolved murder of Dorothy Jane Scott, the chilling stalking campaign that preceded her death, the haunting phone calls, and the unanswered questions surrounding one of California’s creepiest true crime cases. This true-crime case combines an unsolved murder, obsessive stalking, strange mysteries, and the kind of creepy details that feel pulled straight from a horror movie, and not in the fun Ghost Face way.

    115: The Great Dick and the Dysfunctional Demon: Interview with the Man Behind the Madness
    2026/07/29

    In this episode, we sit down with author Barry Maher to discuss his wildly original book, The Great Dick and the Dysfunctional Demon. We dive into the strange mysteries, dysfunctional characters, dark humor, and unexpected chaos behind the story we get the inside scoop on what inspired Barry to create a world that is equal parts bizarre, clever, and completely unforgettable.
    From demonic disasters to deeply flawed humans, this interview is packed with creepy stories, sharp wit, and plenty of moments that left us wondering what the hell we had just heard, in the best possible way.

    It’s 1982. Steve Witowski, a failed songwriter on the run from the law, finds himself caught in a supernatural thriller after an apparently innocent act of heroism—saving a woman from a vicious assault by a seemingly unstoppable wino. The woman, Victoria, is just part of a mystery Steve can’t unravel. Even as he’s looting the decomposing dead for the secrets of a self-proclaimed sorcerer. Even as he plummets into a nightmare of fire and blood and murder. Even then, Steve remains certain the sorcerer’s spells, the occult rituals—the supposed demons and supernatural horror—are simply delusion and fantasy. Steve is wrong.
    Victoria, who has just bought a dilapidated church with a haunting past, entangles Steve in a deadly game of dark magic and rituals. As,unknown to him, the demon grows desperate, Steve plunges deeper into a world of crypts, grave robbing, and long-forgotten secrets, all while trying to escape his own haunted past. But when the face of the man Steve killed appears on his arm, the line between reality and nightmare begins to blur.
    This supernatural novel will leave you on the edge of your seat, with wickedly funny dark humor and, ultimately, pulse-pounding suspense, as Steve and Victoria navigate a twisted adventure full of occult horror, supernatural suspense, and shocking revelations.

    111: Black Dahlia Part 2: Suspects, Scandals & the Truth About Elizabeth Short
    2026/07/02
    In Part 2 of our Black Dahlia deep dive, we’re getting into the chaos after Elizabeth Short’s murder: the letters, the package of her belongings, the suspects, the theories, and the disturbing way the press turned Beth into a scandal instead of a victim. From Mark Hansen and Marvin Margolis to George Hodel, Leslie Dillon, the Zodiac connection, and the rumors about her sexuality, this case becomes one of the strangest mysteries in true crime history.But before anything else, let’s be clear: Elizabeth Short was not a “whore,” a punchline, or the tabloid fantasy the newspapers tried to create. She was a 22-year-old woman whose life and death were exploited, picked apart, and mythologized before anyone ever gave her justice.This episode gets into the creepy stories, the suspicious men, the bad leads, the press circus, and why the Black Dahlia case remains one of the most haunting unsolved murders of all time.https://www.theblackdahliainhollywood.com/?p=73https://www.theblackdahliainhollywood.com/?p=1030https://www.theblackdahliainhollywood.com/?p=2780https://www.theblackdahliainhollywood.com/?p=3689https://ladailymirror.com/2006/03/20/blogging-the-wolfe-book-wax-on-wax-off/https://ladailymirror.com/2025/02/04/black-dahlia-ask-me-anything-february-2025/https://www.aetv.com/articles/elizabeth-shorthttps://www.britannica.com/list/americas-5-most-notorious-cold-cases-including-one-you-may-have-thought-was-already-solvhttps://crimereads.com/the-black-dahlia-history-los-angeles-cold-casehttps://delacortereview.org/2020/09/10/the-black-dahlia-the-long-strange-history-of-los-angeles-coldest-cold-casehttps://wildbluepress.com/elizabeth-short-black-dhalia/https://www.legendsofamerica.com/elizabeth-short-black-dahlia/https://tessa2.lapl.org/digital/collection/photos/id/8220/https://www.history.com/articles/who-killed-the-black-dahliahttps://www.blackdahliabluedahlia.com/podcast/etched-69xcrhttps://stevehodel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/FAQ29.pdfhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Black-Dahlia/William-J-Mann/9781668075906https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790117/sisters-in-death-by-eli-frankel/https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/563172/black-dahlia-red-rose-by-piu-eatwell/9781631494932https://people.com/sisters-in-death-black-dahlia-book-exclusive-11754452https://people.com/who-killed-the-black-dahlia-elizabeth-short-8769901https://www.foxnews.com/us/black-dahlia-breakthrough-lapd-examines-new-fingerprint-tied-victims-ex-boyfriendhttps://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/black-dahlia-zodiac-killings-new-theory-21259726.phphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dahliahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dahlia_suspectshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hodelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sowden_Househttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac_Killerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Torso_Murdererhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3093269/

    110: The Sealed Secrets of Central Park: The Dark History of Ramble Cave
    2026/06/24
    Deep inside Central Park’s winding, woodsy Ramble once hid a little cave with a big reputation and trust us, she was not just sitting there being cute and geological.
    Known as Ramble Cave, or sometimes Indian Cave, this hidden Central Park spot started as a mysterious little feature tucked into the park’s romantic design. But over time? Oh, she got weird. Dark corners, crime, creepy city legends, and enough bad energy to make you say, “Maybe we do not need to explore every hidden passage, bestie.”
    In this episode, we crawl into the story of Ramble Cave, how it was found, why people were obsessed with it, the disturbing events connected to it, and why New York City eventually said, “Absolutely not,” and sealed it up for good.
    So let's head to Central Park, because nothing says romantic park stroll like a sealed cave with bad vibes.

    109: The Black Dahlia Murder Part 1: Elizabeth Short's Life, Death, and the Myths That Won't Die
    2026/06/18
    The Black Dahlia is one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history, but how much of what you've heard is actually true?
    In Part 1 of our deep dive into the Black Dahlia case, we separate fact from fiction as we explore the life of Elizabeth Short, the young woman behind the headlines. Long before the world knew her as the Black Dahlia, Elizabeth was a daughter, a dreamer, and a woman trying to build a life for herself in post-war America.
    Join us as we examine her early life, her travels across the country, her relationships, and the events leading up to her disappearance. We also explore the shocking discovery of her body in Los Angeles on January 15, 1947, and unpack the myths that have surrounded the case for nearly eighty years.
    From the origins of the "Black Dahlia" nickname to the media frenzy that followed her murder, we'll separate documented facts from decades of speculation. Before we dive into the countless suspect theories, we're starting where every investigation should begin: with Elizabeth herself.
