In 1933, 43-year-old Agnes Tufverson was a successful New York lawyer with an impressive work ethic, having been named ‘New York’s Most Intelligent Woman’ just one year earlier. In 1930s America, an unwed woman putting her career first was practically unheard of, but Agnes was confident in her life without a man by her side.

While on a solo vacation to Europe in the summer of 1933, Agnes fell in love with Captain Ivan Poderjay and it finally seemed as though she would be able to have both her career and a romance. But just two weeks after her marriage to Poderjay, Agnes suddenly disappeared.

Even with a substantial amount of circumstantial evidence suggesting foul play, police could not bring anyone to justice without proof that a crime had occurred.

Agnes Tufverson has never been found and the mystery has never been solved.
