The Cigar Girl: The Unsolved Death of Mary Rogers

In 1841, Mary Rogers was the most admired woman in Manhattan—a stunning young clerk in a bustling cigar shop who caught the eye of politicians, poets, and even Edgar Allan Poe. But when she vanished one summer Sunday, and her body was found floating in the Hudson near Hoboken days later, her fame turned into infamy. Was it murder? A botched abortion? Or something more sinister?

Join us as we dig into one of America’s first media-fueled murder mysteries—one that inspired Poe’s fiction and left behind more questions than answers.
