Description

In this episode, we dive into one of America’s most infamous true crime cases: the story of Lizzie Borden. On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered in their Fall River, Massachusetts home—struck down with a hatchet in broad daylight. Suspicion quickly turned to Andrew’s 32-year-old daughter, Lizzie. Arrested and tried in a sensational 1893 courtroom battle, Lizzie’s case captivated the nation and helped shape the modern media frenzy around true crime. Though she was ultimately acquitted, questions have lingered for more than a century. Was she a cold-blooded killer—or a woman judged by the rigid expectations of her time? Join us as we explore the evidence, the trial, and the enduring mystery that still sparks debate today.
