Mary Rogers was known as "The Beautiful Cigar Girl,' working at a local smoke shop as the owner said her beauty brough in many customers. Mary's mother had opened up her house to boarding after Mary's father died in a tragic steamboat accident. It was mother and daughter trying to get along doing what they needed to do. Mary's beauty was so renowned at the time that James Fennimore Cooper wrote a poem about her that was published in the New York Herald. In 1841 Mary told her mother and fiancee Daniel Payne that she was taking a short boat ride to visit her aunt. But she never returned. She was found 3 days later floating in the Hudson River.

LOOKS LIKE SARA GAIL EBERSOLE NEEDS OUR HELP
Apr 600:53:58Tap to summarizeSometimes law enforcement handles cases differently depending on a missing persons vocation. It shouldn't matter that Sara was an exotic dancer for a living. She was a working mother, sister, daughter, friend. Disappearing after work one night was unusual for her normal pattern. There are more than one persons of interest in her case but it appears very clear, she did NOT leave her daughter, her family her friends on her own. Her sister Michelle Tullis is a force to be reckoned with and will not stop until Sara is found and her family sees justice. Her main worry now is her niece and the circumstances are understandable for her worry. If you know anything about Sara Gail's case or where she might be, please contact: The Marion County Sheriffs office at 352-368-7867 Reference Case #2371 with your tip.

LOOKS LIKE SCIENTISTS ARE UNDER ATTACK: CARL GRILLMAIR
Mar 2300:43:57Tap to summarizeWhen a brilliant scientist/astrophysicist buys land in the outskirts of LA County so he can see the stars and planets without light pollution from his homemade planetarium, he thinks he is safe. Carl Grillmair, a 67 year old genius of world renown was found deceased from a gunshot to his upper torso on the front porch of his remote home. One of the foremost authorities on whether there is water on other planets he helped redefine how we think about the potential of life outside of Earth. Was a young husband, father, son whose family lived with his mother responsible for this? A resident of the small yet storied community that Carl chose to make his home, Freddy Snyder had a short history with Carl but to shoot him on his own porch seems so brutal and out of place.
