Same old story. Beauty meets the Beast. Beast Wins.

Alex Taylor presents Mary Rogers’ case below, as published in the Gainesville Times, Tuesday, March 29th, 1988.

Worse, while it was fresh, Mary’s story was in essence retold and “solved” by a popular macabre scribe, Edgar Allen Poe. Takes one to know one?
