The police believe these were sent by the killer Random pages from the LAPD case file. I know I said I would put a link to the crime scene and morgue photos,but, honestly, you can just google "Black Dahlia Morgue photos" and hit image and all of the crime scene and morgue photos show up, WARNING, they are graphic, its hard to even realize that was once a living person.The photo below is the doctored photo that the press released, they even changed her face and covered the cuts from her mouth to her ears.
