The body of Mary Rogers, known by many New Yorkers as the “beautiful cigar girl,” was found in the Hudson River in July 1841. There was evidence she had been beaten before she died, but over a century later, her death remains unsolved.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the death of Mary Rogers. Both theories and suspects abound in this case. Some newspapers at the time even named people as Mary's killer. There are supposed deathbed confessions, and the theories range from wild to semi-plausible. Even Edgar Allen Poe is rumored to have been involved, and he did write a story based on Mary's death.
