#VictorianTrueCrime #HistoricalMurderCase #19thCenturyCrime #BangeraCaswell #crimedust This documentary examines the Victorian true crime case of Bangera Caswell, a young Canadian factory worker whose death in Saco, Maine became one of the most disturbing 19th-century historical murder cases in New England. Born in 1828 in Quebec, Bangera crossed into the United States seeking work in the textile mills, only to become trapped by the harsh social realities faced by unmarried women in the Victorian era. In 1849 –1850, under the alias Mary Bean, she entered the care of Dr. James Smith, a practitioner of botanic medicine. Months later, her body was discovered tied to a plank in a brook, triggering a sensational investigation, inquest, and trial. This video traces the case chronologically, from Bangera Caswell’s early life and factory work to the discovery of her body, the forensic findings, courtroom testimony, conviction, appeal, and ultimate release of Dr. Smith. It explores how gender, morality, medicine, and law intersected in the 19th century, revealing the dangers faced by working women and the limits of Victorian justice. Watch to uncover a forgotten American true crime story shaped by secrecy, stigma, and the legal culture of its time.
