Описание: America History: The Historical True Crime Case Of Mary Rogers
"The 1841 disappearance and death of Mary Rogers, known as the 'Beautiful Cigar Girl,' remains one of the most enduring mysteries in the archives of New York City."

Step back into a haunting chapter of America History. Decades before the world learned the name of Jack the Ripper, the streets of Manhattan were transfixed by the tragic fate of Mary Cecilia Rogers. A young woman of striking beauty and fame, her body was found floating in the Hudson River, igniting a media firestorm that changed American journalism forever and inspired the father of detective fiction, Edgar Allan Poe, to write "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt."

In this 22-minute documentary, we dissect the chilling events of July 1841. From the bustling cigar shops of Broadway to the dark waters near Sybil’s Cave, we explore the conflicting theories—from gang violence to a secret gone wrong—and why, after 180 years, the truth remains as murky as the river that claimed her.
