“Disappeared”.

Elizabeth Short was seen drinking beer with Robert Hunter, a former Marine, in San Diego on 14th January 1947.

This was reported by The New York Daily Mirror on 19th January 1947.

Elizabeth Short did not disappear on the 9th January 1947. She went back to San Diego with Hunter. 2A00:23C6:410F:A001:1C2A:F2CC:7CC0:B62C (talk) 22:52, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suspects and confessions: please change

The second paragraph of the section "Suspects and confessions" includes the sentence:

"A neighbor driving by that day stopped to dispose of a bag of lawn clippings in the lot when he saw a parked sedan"...

This is incorrect. The article cited says the neighbor saw the parked sedan the night before the murder. Jamesarnall (talk) 16:57, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
