At the center was Lizzie Borden, a 32-year-old woman from Fall River, Massachusetts, who was accused of murdering her father, Andrew Borden, and stepmother, Abby Borden, inside their family home on August 4, 1892. Both victims were found brutally killed with a hatchet while other members of the household were nearby. As investigators began piecing together the events of that morning, suspicion quickly turned toward Lizzie, whose conflicting accounts and behavior became central to the investigation.

This episode examines the lives of the Borden family, the circumstances surrounding the murders, and the investigation that followed. We revisit the evidence presented against Lizzie, the sensational trial that drew national attention, and her eventual acquittal in June 1893. More than a century later, the case continues to raise questions about what happened inside the Borden home that morning, the evidence that shaped the prosecution, and whether the person accused of the murders was truly responsible.

On the morning of August 4, 1892, Lizzy's step mother, Abby, was bludgeoned to death in an upstairs bedroom of the family home.

At the time, however, strong suspicion was cast upon Andrew's daughter, Lizzie, who not only held contempt and disdain for Abby, but supposedly had her eye on her father's money as well. Despite significant circumstantial evidence, Lizzie's day in court saw her walk free and claim her inheritance. But the mystery remains. Did Lizzie Borden commit cold-blooded murder? And, if so, what really drove such a seemingly docile woman over the edge? Join host Ryan Kraus for a psychological exploration of the sociopath, from its conception by nature, through the act of murder, and beyond the stars into a distant future.
