Cecil Barbee

Cecil Barbee was president of Coca-Cola back when the drink actually contained cocaine. Here's a fun fact: You know about the Black Dahlia, of course. Okay, so the morning she was found back in January, 1947, the first two guys on the scene were a reporter named Will Fowler and his photographer. Guess where they were coming from when they got the call? They had been interviewing this Cecil Barbee at the Beverly Hills Hotel about his upcoming wedding to some young thing. He sent them off with a single bottle of Coke to share between them on their ride back to the office. They were bitching about this when the call came over their police scanner which led them to their gruesome discovery.
