[Music] it's an amazing story it really is it's a story of one very unhappy family in a
00:00:13
house it is a morning like so many other mornings in a small town in New England
00:00:21
a father a stepmother living with his two adult daughters Lizzy 32 and Emma 41 Lizzy was seen by the
00:00:33
next-door neighbor and the neighbor asked what's the matter and she announces that her father has been
00:00:40
killed law enforcement personnel arrived and found a gruesome murder two bodies a
00:00:50
lot of blood there is a husband downstairs ten wounds to his head and almost half of his face is obliterated
00:00:59
and just on the second floor was his wife she was facedown with a tremendous amount of injury to the back of her head
00:01:11
it seems like the most likely murder weapon was hatchet with a three-and-a-half inch blade when someone
00:01:18
is struck multiple times with a hatchet to the head that's personal you know one of the most fascinating
00:01:26
parts of this case is that except for around the bodies there's no blood found anywhere you would think that whoever
00:01:33
was the perpetrator would be covered with blood blood spatter nothing suspicion turned to the people in the
00:01:40
house and the only people in the house are his daughter and their housekeeper it was so shocking for the police to
00:01:51
come to the conclusion that the daughter had killed her father and stepmother you
00:01:57
would have to believe that this sweet seemingly harmless woman did this horrific thing women are as capable as
00:02:06
men not only for the good but for the bad as well on August the 4th 1892 Andrew and Abby Borden were hacked to
00:02:17
death in their Fall River Massachusetts home every generation has that one really terrible case that we don't have
00:02:27
any answers to there is only one plausible explanation who do you believe killed Andrew and Abby Borden Lizzie was
00:02:39
responsible for these murders it was Lizzie Borden who intended to murder and did murder Abby and Andrew
00:02:47
Borden it was not until I read about this case that I learned that I was wrong and all of us are wrong Lizzie
00:02:55
Borden was acquitted so no one has ever been held accountable for the crime but if not her
00:03:03
then who this is somebody who may have quite literally gotten away with murder [Music]
00:03:14
she gave her father for [Music]
