Jonbenet Black Dahlia Case

Improved Essays
In Jonbenet's murder there are many different resources that me and my group used we mostly used google and the resources that is provided there was good information in all resources. We also used youtube for the videos in the podcast. There were many different news clipping blaming different suspects in the murder like the father, mother , brother and the santa claus. We had some problems finding videos because some were restricted for the research aspect because there were different videos explaining different point of views to different information. There was consistent information in different resources and that’s how we know it’s right information and they actually got it right in some aspects. But there is also inconsistent information regarding the case. There are many loose ends that need to be tied before the case can be solved and finally put to rest of the case. There are many similar cases from the Jonbenet case the one that caught our eye is the Black Dahlia case, that case happened in 1947 in the Black Dahlia case there was not a lot of evidence to make an arrest. …show more content…
Her name was Elizabeth Short she died when she was 22 she was young when she died. Nobody really knows why they killed Elizabeth people believe it was a motivated murder. In Jonbenet's case nobody really know why they killed the 6-year old beauty queen. The case was never solved like Jonbenet’s case there were suspects in both but in both cases there was not enough evidence against one person to arrest someone connected to the murder. There was no legit evidence to convict someone even though there was a lot of evidence because of that there were many different suspect that can be the killer but it’s been a long time ever since the Black Dahlia murder it has been almost 69 years since the death and for the Jonbenet case it has been 20 years since December of 2016. But like I said there are many similar cases to Jonbenet's and the Black Dahlias case too. There would have been different motivation for the murders like motivation, there was note after Elizabeth was killed at the end it said “Black Dahlia Avenger” like it was a crime of passion and if Jonbenet's was a crime of passion too because they were wealthy when you first think of them if nothing happened to their daughter Jonbenet. There would have been different reasons to kill a daughter of a wealthy family. In our documents that we looked at there are different dates a few years ago or it was recent, but there are different outlets of news that cover the same things. The sources we used the most were from early 2016 and late 2016. The sources we used were basically an overlook of the case that we might of known of didn’t know but know we have enough information to make a guess on who did it. But there is also news that makes you believe that certain person did it but you have to know the right information and facts to know your instead of going off some information that we didn’t know even if we don’t know the right facts. In the US in 1996, there were many famous deaths too like Tupac Shakur
