#2 Mary Roger's Beautiful Eyes




The mysterious murders were always on an agenda, I will go a couple centuries back and recall everyone the character of Mary Rogers. She was born in 1820, she was found dead in 1841. Her disappearance and death was a shock to a nation. For a local community it was a hit. Shortly after she became a quite an inspirational figure, the most of all for Edgar Allan Poe who wrote a detective story entitled “The Mystery of Marie Roget”.



Mary was born in Connecticut, she was regarded as a very beautiful lady (with no exception) everyone shared that notion. Her life was a very happy life till the death of her father, his tragic death on the steamboat brought Mary lots of pain and tears. She went to New York where she was hired in a tobacco shop. She was so pretty, that the owner of the shop gave her a rise of the salary just because “the clientele sat all day long exchanging teasing glances” with this beauty. She was admired by well-known celebrities at that time, namely, Washington Irving, for instance.



She was admired by men, she was also afraid of them, having bad experiences she tried to avoid troubles, nonetheless, it didn’t work for long, she disappeared once, it happened in 1838 – which was a fabricated story, the suicidal note found was not even written by Mary, what was established later on followed the truth – the suspect was on her trip to visit her friend who lived in Brooklyn.



This wonderful, beautiful girl was murdered 28th of July 1841, her body had been found floating in the Hudson River. Three days before she told her fiancé she was going to visit her relatives. No one has ever seen her again. By the citizens she was called “Beautiful Cigar Girl”. Her fiancé Daniel Payne committed suicide, the reasons were grief and despair, he has never been acknowledged as a suspect. There were lots of stories why … none of them confirmed. Undoubtedly it was a great loss.

It indeed led to legal controversies during the trials. Therefore the procedures and the approach had to be changed. The first came the development of photography into a mobile form of documentation, applicable to both crime scenes and laboratories.
