259: The Lizzie Borden Murders

True Crime Obsessed
About this episode
The Borden murders are the most infamous double murders in American History, but there's more to the story than you've been told. On the morning of August 4, 1892, Lizzy's step mother, Abby, was bludgeoned to death in an upstairs bedroom of the family home. A few hours later, Lizzie's father, Andrew, met the same fate on the couch in the downstairs family room. Lizzie and the maid were the only other people home. But Lizzie swore she didn't do it--and there was little evidence to prove that she did.  So who did killed these people? And why? Detectives in 2021 are taking another look at the case.
