The Mysterious & Chilling Case of Emeline Meeker, Vermont’s First Executed Woman

Step back into 19th-century Vermont with this chilling Victorian true crime documentary examining The Meeker Case: A Vermont Tragedy. In April 1880, nine-year-old Alice Mary Jane Meeker vanished from a rural farmhouse in Duxbury, Washington County, Vermont. What initially appeared to be a runaway case soon exposed one of the most disturbing historical murder cases of the era. This documentary reconstructs the abuse, investigation, and trial that led to the conviction of Emeline Lucy Meeker and her son Almon Meeker, culminating in a landmark execution that shocked the state. Through period-accurate narration, court testimony, forensic evidence, and contemporary newspaper accounts, the film explores how neglect, cruelty, and silence allowed a child’s suffering to continue unchecked in Victorian America. Covering the investigation, the use of strychnine poisoning, the dramatic courtroom proceedings, and the grim aftermath, this is a deeply researched historical true crime story that reveals the darker side of rural life in the late 1800s. Ideal for viewers interested in forgotten crimes, early forensic science, and American legal history.
