Event Details

Join Eric Nelsen of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission as he discusses a historical true crime case. In the summer of 1873, the body of an “unknown woman” was recovered from the Hudson River along the Palisades. Her identification by her fiancé a few days later would lead to racially charged accusations of “a brutal murder” in the New York City press – and by September, a trial in Hackensack.
