About This Event

Just in time for Halloween! For the past 175 years, no one has solved the mystery of Edgar Allan Poe’s death--can you? On the day he left Richmond, Virginia bound for Philadelphia, Poe was a happy man looking forward to a new life with his childhood sweetheart and soon to be wife, Sarah Shelton. Five days later, he was found lying in a gutter--delirious, unkempt, and wearing someone else’s clothes. Four days later, he was dead. Join investigator Barry Pirro as he discusses Poe’s life, his health and mental state, the puzzling details of his last days, and the many theories surrounding his mysterious death.
