When a beautiful cigar shop girl is found dead under mysterious circumstances, a troubled Edgar Allan Poe becomes obsessed with solving the real-life crime—turning tragedy into fiction in a desperate search for truth.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/PoeCigarGirlFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: I'm sharing a chapter from the book “Nevermore: The Haunted Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe” by Troy Taylor, which I narrated the audiobook for. But this chapter by itself was so interesting to me that I thought it would make a great episode of Weird Darkness – plus, it gives you a little peek into what you might get if you purchase the book itself. I've left a link to the book in the show notes below. This is the true story about the murder of a girl who worked in a cigar shop, the investigation of it by law enforcement, how Edgar Allan Poe saw it as an opportunity to escalate his career and name… and how it all almost blew up in his face, even with some claiming Poe was the murderer of the poor girl!

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 2022Weird Darkness devotes this episode to the unsolved 1841 murder of New York shopgirl Mary Cecilia Rogers and its strange collision with the unraveling life of Edgar Allan Poe. It opens with the July 28, 1841 discovery of Rogers's body floating in the Hudson River near Hoboken's Sybil's Cave, tracing her path from a Connecticut-born clerk at John Anderson's Tobacco Emporium on Manhattan's Nassau Street to the local celebrity known as "the beautiful cigar girl," then following the search led by her fiancé, cork-cutter Daniel Payne, and former suitor Alfred Crommelin, through the police suspicion cast on Payne and on Anderson, the September discovery of her bloodied clothing in a Weehawken thicket, and Payne's own laudanum suicide at that same spot that October.From there, the episode moves to Philadelphia, where Poe was following the case from a distance while his household came apart around him: his wife Virginia's sudden pulmonary hemorrhage during a parlor performance on January 20, 1842, the day after Poe turned thirty-three, marked the onset of the tuberculosis that would eventually kill her, and the strain bled directly into stories like "The Masque of the Red Death" and "Eleonora." It follows Poe's collapse at Graham's Magazine, including his refused request for a salary advance on an $800-a-year wage, his failed bid for a Philadelphia Custom House post that ended with a fumbled meeting tied to President John Tyler, and his abrupt exit from the magazine after being passed over for associate editor Charles Peterson.Next comes Poe's attempt to solve the Rogers case through fiction, recreating how he pitched a sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" to Baltimore editor Joseph Evans Snodgrass and Boston's George Roberts before selling it to William Snowden's The Ladies' Companion as "The Mystery of Marie Roget," transplanting the murder to Paris and casting the sleuth C. Auguste Dupin as the man who would name the killer. It details the disastrous timing by which Weehawken tavern keeper Frederica Loss, shot by her own son on November 1, 1842, gave a deathbed account claiming Rogers died during a botched abortion, undercutting Poe's carefully built naval-officer theory just as his final installment was headed to press.The episode closes with the suspects who have circulated around the case ever since, from the hanged Somers mutineer Philip Spencer, floated by biographer John Ingram, to Daniel Payne and Alfred Crommelin, to tobacco magnate John Anderson, who lived out his final years in a Tarrytown mansion behind steel-lined shutters, convinced his cook was poisoning his roast beef and claiming to speak with Mary Rogers's spirit, and it ends on the long-running question of whether Poe himself carried knowledge of, or any personal connection to, the murder he spent his career trying to solve on paper.
This week, we're welcoming a brand-new guest to the show: Alan Halaly with the Las Vegas Review-Journal! Alan joins Harvey and mortgage expert John Ingram for a wide-ranging conversation covering real estate, financing, and some of the biggest issues affecting Southern Nevada.
This week we take a look at four films starring one of the most versatile chameleons of the last half century- the always brilliant Sam Neill. John Trent has had a rough couple of weeks that have lead to him being committed in a psychiatric facility. As he opens up about the eldritch horror he witnessed, only one question remains... Do you read Sutter Cane? John Carpenter's 16th feature film and still one of the best cosmic horrors ever made- In the Mouth of Madness. Paige and Leo's newlywed life is torn apart when Paige loses her memories of the last five years after an accident. Paige tries to resume the life she remembers, without even caring about the glaring questions, and Leo tries to hold on to their marriage, demanding an instant connection and resisting her need for space. Inspired by a real life story- The Vow. After a tragedy, Rae and John Ingram try to heal and connect with an extended trip on their boat. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean they come upon a sinking schooner and find Hughie, who claims to be the sole survivor of a severe food poisoning accident. When John goes to check out the situation, he finds the boat is salvageable and the others on board have all been mutilated. A surehanded thriller in the middle of a vast blue nowhere- Dead Calm. A potential general strike looms as violence and gas rationing expand. The prime minister doesn't waste a moment making a fascist power grab. As the country continues to divide and a resistance movement grows, Smith finds himself separating from his wife after learning of her affair with Bullen. Taking to a quiet island, Smith soon finds himself framed for a terrorist attack, arrested, and forced to join a fight he wanted nothing to do with. Roger Donaldson's sharp and suspenseful first feature and Sam Neill's powerful breakthrough performance- Sleeping Dogs. Join us, won't you? Episode 476- Neill Before Us

Former Mayor Karl Dean was known to ask, rhetorically and always in good humor, what Nashville would be without music (answer: Birmingham), but he could have substituted “the Ingrams” for music and arrived at the same punchline. There are few beloved things in Music City without fingerprints, known and unknown, that in some way trace back or connect to the Ingram family. While Martha Ingram was the driving force behind, among many other things, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, her son John, who now serves as Chairman of Ingram Industries, is the driving force behind one of Music City's latest loves: Major League Soccer in the form of Nashville SC! The story of how John and his carefully assembled team brought MLS to Music City has been told before, but never quite like this. A favorite part of the conversation with John involves his telling of why the green light at the end of Daisy's dock in The Great Gatsby has always spoken to him, "it's all about possibilities." When John sees the green light, "that's where [he's] headed." And, we think that's where Nashville is headed, as well.

2023 Episode 27 w/ John Ingram by Harvey Blankfeld
How did a bizarre confession derail the investigation into the first murder committed by Keith Hunter Jesperson, the notorious “Happy Face Killer,” and allow him to remain on the loose, killing at least seven more women? A new two-hour “20/20” reports on how after authorities discovered the body of Taunja Bennett in the Columbia Gorge in 1990, 57-year-old Laverne Pavlinac confessed to the police that she took part in the crime. She provided convincing evidence that implicated her and her boyfriend, 39-year-old John Sosnovske, in the murder, and they were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In a shocking twist, Pavlinac's confession turned out to be false in an attempt to escape what she described as an abusive relationship with Sosnovske. With reporting by “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang, “20/20” dives into how Pavlinac was able to dupe police, featuring audio from the couple's confessions and police interviews, and from the hidden microphone installed in Pavlinac's apartment when she tried to convince Sosnovske that he was involved in the murder. The two-hour program features an exclusive interview with Melissa Gavin, a friend of Julie Winningham, the last person Jesperson killed before his arrest; and new interviews with John Ingram, lead detective who investigated Bennett's murder; Jim McIntyre, prosecutor for Pavlinac and Sosnovske's cases; Darlene Carpenter and Bonnie McAlpine, Pavlinac's daughters; Michelle White, Bennett's sister; Melissa Moore, Jesperson's daughter; and Alafair Burke, bestselling author and former prosecutor who based her first novel on the case. The program also features Chang's interview with Jesperson from the ABC News archives and gives an inside look at how police ultimately tracked Jesperson down. Learn more about your ad choices.

We rarely think of the importance of stability; not only in our external environment, but the stability of thought and emotion. It is precisely this that is addressed in Hypothesis 40. One can easily be tempted, with good reason, for a multitude of reasons, to move to another place, where one can find greater tranquility and peace in the spiritual life. Yet, such thoughts are often the work of the evil one. Wherever we go, we take our selves with us, including our passions. And so, we receive multiple stories and examples of monks and saints who were put to the test in this regard. We can allow ourselves with great ease to begin to daydream; to imagine a kind of life that will bring peace and happiness to us or that would be pleasing to God. The danger is that we often are motivated by our personal judgment and sensibilities or by the actions of the evil one. We must understand that in this world we know no peace, except for that which is found in Christ. While we are in this world, we are engaged in constant spiritual warfare and should expect nothing less. In fact, we were told that we must become like the cherubim - “all eyes.” We must constantly watch for the subtle ways that the evil one seeks to draw us away from the path of obedience and humility. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:11:33 FrDavid Abernethy: page 330 Letter E 00:54:48 Erick chastain: What hypothesis/ book are we on? 00:55:21 carol nypaver: P.334 00:55:26 Eric Ewanco: XL.A.2 00:55:59 Erick chastain: Reacted to "P.334" with
