In the summer of 1841, a woman named Mary Rogers was found dead in the Hudson River in New York. The real-world police had zero leads. So, Edgar Allan Poe decided to prove he was smarter than the NYPD. He took the exact, gruesome details of that real-world tragedy, moved the crime scene to the River Seine in Paris, disguised the victim as 'Marie Rogét,' and challenged the authorities to a battle of wits—using nothing but newspaper clippings to solve a crime he never even witnessed.We are investigating The Mystery of Marie Rogét by Edgar Allan Poe. This is the direct sequel to The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and the very first true-crime investigation ever written.The newspapers are stacked. The scissors are out.
