'I am the Night' finds perfect podcast companion in 'Root of Evil', where the Hodel family discusses the curse of the Black Dahlia legacy

One of the most unique voices in 'Root of Evil' is that of Steve Hodel, who as an LAPD Homicide Detective, confirmed his father, George, murdered Elizabeth Short aka Black Dahlia
UPDATED JAN 11, 2019

January 28 is an important day for anyone with a remote interest in the notorious Black Dahlia murder. TNT is premiering 'I am the Night' helmed by Patty Jenkins on the day, and it will narrate the story of the late Fauna Hodel, who, having been given up for adoption, tracks down her biological family, only to find out that her grandfather is the infamous George Hodel, widely accepted as the Black Dahlia murderer.

While 'I am the Night' narrates the exceptional story of the Hodel family, there is so much more to be told about George and how his actions impacted generations to come. "That is why Patty knew she could never tell mom's story in a two-hour movie feature. That's why she had to take it to television," Fauna’s daughters Yvette Gentile and Rasha Pecoraro tell MEAWW.
