Ellroy's interest in the Black Dahlia murder case goes way back when he was a boy living with his divorced mother in Los Angeles. While visiting his father for a weekend, Ellroy returned on a Sunday to find police waiting from him. His mother had been murdered. Ellroy's personal theory was that his mother was murdered by the same man that killed Elizabeth Short in 1947.
Ellroy's mother was last seen alive in a bar having drinks with what was later described as a 'swarthy man'. There is no proof that the crimes were connected in any way.
