investigation

Raising the level of legal awareness and establishing a culture of respect for the law
The Public Prosecution is keen to raise the level of legal awareness, and to establish a culture of respect for the law among all members of society of all ages and groups, for their primary role in preventing crime and preserving rights, through two approaches; They are building a legal culture that erases legal ignorance, and promoting a culture of respect for the law that is based on a correct understanding of the law and procedures. Through this window, the guards of justice will carry in their pens the messages of the Public Prosecution; Which we embody in the competencies entrusted to us by law, and we explain our competencies and the accompanying procedures, and we review the mechanism of the complaint process as soon as it is received by the prosecution, passing through the investigation procedures, moving to the trial stage and ending with the implementation of the enforceable judicial ruling.

The Story of Elizabeth Short
Elizabeth Short was born to Cleo and Phoebe May Short (nee Sawyer) on July 29th 1924 in Boston Massachusetts. She was the third of five daughters, and the family was met with their first tragedy with the stock market crash of 1929. Cleo lost all of his savings and disappeared, leaving his car near the Charlestown Bridge, and everyone to assumed he had jumped in. Phoebe then became the primarily breadwinner. At fifteen, Elizabeth was deeply sick with lung issues stemming from Bronchitis and Asthma and her doctors suggested the family move to a warmer, more humid climate for her health. Elizabeth was then sent to Miami, Florida for winters until the day the family received word that Cleo was in fact alive. He had relocated to California to start over, and Elizabeth was determined to join him. In December of 1942, Elizabeth made her way to the San Fransisco Bay area of California to live with her father. However arguments between them strained their relationship further and Elizabeth moved out in January of 1943.
