When a heavy, unmarked trunk was discovered at the Hudson River Rail Depot, authorities uncovered the body of a young woman hidden inside, setting off a nationwide scandal that exposed the dark underside of 19th century urban life. This historical documentary examines the tragic death of Alice Augusta Bowlsby, a 20-year-old Sunday school teacher from Paterson, New Jersey, whose life ended under suspicious and brutal circumstances.
