Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this journey, All Things, Dominic Dunn.

We are back today for another episode in our New York state of crime season, and ha-zah!

We finally made it to the turn of the century, investigators.

Our man Dominic was not alive, at the time, naturally, in the 19-0s. All of the

scene that we're going to talk about today shakes down long before done will begin his

true crime looky-lewing or his true crime reporting. But if there were a way, two-time travel,

Dominic would have been on the front row for this one, investigators. This case contains all the pieces that make a story

intriguing for our man Nick, power and privilege and justice and where they all connect and where they all go wrong. This week it is a

lethal love triangle indeed. We will be investigating the murder of Stanford White, the premier

architect of the day. Stanford was shot in June of 1906 by a man named Harry Thaw.

Harry is a prominent and mentally unstable, very, very wealthy son of a very important family.

What causes the murder?

Harry becomes consumed with the need to avenge the honor of his young bride, Evelyn Nesbitt.

Let's investigate. If the name Evelyn Nesbitt is familiar to you and rings the bell, I'm not surprised.

If her face is familiar to you as well, I'm even less surprised.

Evelyn will begin her rise as an artist model

in the time of breakthroughs in advertising. Her face is on a lot of products. Evelyn is used as a

model for the famous Gibson girl, drawn famously by Charles Dana Gibson.

Evelyn was the model used by Lucy Mod Montgomery to craft the look of Anne of Green Gables.

Evelyn Nesbit is mythologized in Hollywood as well as literary history.

Her story is told in the 1955 film called The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing, starring Joan Collins.

Evelyn Nesbitt has an appearance in a book and play called Ragtime in a song called Crime of the Century.
