Season 1 Episode 43: Lizzie Borden

Lizzie Borden

August 4, 1892

One of the most infamous murders in American history occurred on August 4th, 1982. Andrew and Abby Borden were both murdered with an axe if a greusome display of savagery. What makes this story so compelling is not just the depravity of the act itself but the unsuspecting prime suspect in the case: Lizzie Borden.

The case is so popular that even nursery rhymes have been created around it:

Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done…

She gave her father forty-one"
