About this listen

Mary Rogers’ death inspired Edgar Allan Poe’s The Mystery of Marie Rogêt — but nearly two centuries later, the real mystery remains unsolved.

In 1841, Mary Cecilia Rogers, a young New York cigar shop clerk known as the “Beautiful Cigar Girl,” was found dead in the Hudson River. Her murder became one of America’s first true-crime media sensations — and remains unsolved.
