The legend of Lizzie Borden

October 07, 2025 • Dawn & Kristy • Episode 9

In this chilling episode, we delve into one of the most infamous cases in American history — the brutal double murder that shook Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892. Andrew and Abby Borden were found hacked to death in their own home, and soon suspicion turned toward Andrew’s daughter, Lizzie.

Was she a cold-blooded killer driven by greed, jealousy, and resentment — or an innocent woman caught in a storm of class prejudice and sensational headlines? Dawn and Kristy uncover the tangled web of social status, scandal, and suspicion that surrounded Lizzie Borden’s life, trial, and mysterious acquittal.

Join us as we revisit the crime scene, sift through the evidence, and explore the haunting legacy that still lingers inside the infamous Borden house — now a bed-and-breakfast said to be haunted by its past.
