The architect Stanford White is credited with a host of landmark structures in Newport, New York City, and beyond. But it was his sexual predation of young girls, especially the young model and showgirl Evelyn Nesbit, that led to his shockingly public murder and the 1907 "Trial of the Century" in its aftermath.

The who was never in question. Harry K. Thaw was the culprit. It was Harry’s motive for the crime, defending his young wife Evelyn, that fascinated the public. Included in today’s investigation is a whole heap of New York City history, from newspapers to theaters, as well as high society figures, sexual secrets, professional jealousies, and courtroom dramas - all set against a landscape designed by the actual victim of the crime.
