More than 130 years later, the Lizzie Borden case remains one of America’s most famous unsolved murder mysteries.
This video explores 50 of the strangest facts surrounding the brutal 1892 killings of Andrew and Abby Borden. From Lizzie’s questionable alibi and changing statements to the mysterious hatchet, burned clothing, alleged poison purchase, and evidence police may have overlooked, nearly every part of the case raises new questions.
We also examine alternative suspects, the role of Victorian attitudes toward women, the weaknesses of the investigation, and why an all-male jury acquitted Lizzie so quickly. After the trial, Lizzie inherited a fortune, moved into the mansion she had always wanted, and lived the rest of her life under a cloud of suspicion.
Even the famous nursery rhyme got the details wrong. So what actually happened inside the Borden house?
