Tucked into a small hillside, in a rural Rensselaer County cemetery, sits the final resting place of Hazel Drew.

"The murder of Hazel Drew was a huge deal at the time in 1908," said Kathy Sheehan, who’s been Rensselaer County’s historian for more than 30 years.

Sheehan says Drew was just 20 years old when she was found floating in Teal's Pond in the town of Sand Lake, a short walk from where the young woman grew up in Poestenkill. Working as a nanny at the home of an RPI professor in Troy at the time, no one is quite sure why she was back in her hometown or who she was with.

"You had this young, beautiful woman, and we didn’t know what her story was and it was almost like she was living a double life," Sheehan said.

A few days after Drew's remains were pulled out of Teal's Pond, an autopsy revealed she died from blunt force trauma before she ended up in the water. That immediately kicked off a firestorm of speculation over who could have possibly taken this young woman's life.

"There is a laundry list of people who were suspects," Sheehan said.

News coverage of the case, which eventually ran cold, extended well beyond the Capital Region.

"Oh my gosh,” Sheehan said. “Media from New York City, Washington, and people all around the country from newspapers kept covering the story."

"You had to look at Victorian society and how repressed they were and how things got sensationalized in the newspapers," said filmmaker John Holser.

Holser is giving the case a fresh set of eyes with his new documentary "Who Killed Hazel Drew?"

"I first heard about the case of Hazel Drew in May 2017 and immediately I knew this was something I needed to be involved with because it happened in my backyard,” said Holser, who now lives about a mile from Teal’s Pond.

Then the television show "Twin Peaks" acted as a reminder.

“A lot of people didn’t know about [the case] until it kind of came back up again with 'Twin Peaks,' ” Sheehan said. 

" 'Twin Peaks' has an incredible cult following, and they love mystery," Holser said.

When Holser's film premieres this coming fall, it's sure to inspire new interest in the case, and especially the young woman who's still shrouded in mystery 112 years after her death.

"We are still fascinated by the stories,” Sheehan said. “We are still fascinated by the unsolved mysteries and things like that."

"This film is definitely going to answer a lot of questions. Now any time you do that, you also open up a lot of new questions,” Holser said.
