I came across some articles recently containing fascinating tales from historical crime blotters, and since true crime dramas are popular right now, I thought I'd share:
Ireland’s Eye mystery - A murder that gripped Victorian Dublin as the small, picturesque island off Howth was once synonymous with "one of the foulest and strangest murders that have ever been perpetrated" (according to The Weekly Irish Times in 1904), in a case involving infidelity and a secret double life.
Edgar Allan Poe's death is still his greatest unsolved mystery. The author's death was devoid of answers and filled with disturbing possibilities, with literary theorists and experts blaming everything from alcohol to carbon monoxide poisoning and even one doctor posthumously diagnosing Poe with rabies.
The Mystery Behind the Missing Corpse of one of the richest men ever: In the mid-19th century, Alexander Stewart ran a vast business of factories and stores selling clothing and dry goods in New York City, leaving behind a fortune worth $46 billion dollars in today's money. when he died in 1876. Two years later, the grave was unearthed by unknown persons, and Stewart's corpse was missing.
