The podcast episodes suggest that corruption within the Los Angeles Police Department at the time of the infamous Black Dahlia murder in the 1940s may have played a role in allowing the prime suspect, Dr. George Hodel, to avoid prosecution despite evidence linking him to the crime. Episode 44395 and Episode 12036 both explore how Hodel's wealth, influence, and connections within the LAPD may have shielded him from being properly investigated and held accountable.

The episodes indicate that the failure to adequately investigate and prosecute Hodel, who was a wealthy and well-connected surgeon, was likely due to the culture of corruption and lack of accountability within the LAPD at the time. This allowed a suspected serial killer to potentially continue committing crimes while evading justice.
