“Lizzie Borden took an ax …” You may know the rhyme, but do you know the true story behind it? Today, for our final case on daughters who kill, we’re talking about Lizzie Borden. Even though she was acquitted, most people still believe that Lizzie Borden killed her father, Andrew Borden, and stepmother, Abby Borden with a hatchet in 1892. Could she have been innocent, or did Lizzie kill them for her inheritance? What about the rumors of incest? Give our last episode on daughters who kill a listen and tell us what you think!Sources: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-lizzie-borden-got-away-with-murder-180972707/ https://historyofmassachusetts.org/fall-river-ma-history/ https://www.road2college.com/seven-sisters-colleges/  https://ruminant.ca.uky.edu/beware-prussic-acid#:~:text=Prussic%20acid%2C%20hydrogen%20cyanide%20or,outer%20cells%20of%20the%20plant. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lizzie-borden-accused-killer-axe-48-hours/ https://www.americanheritage.com/what-made-lizzie-borden-kill https://lizzieandrewborden.com/cast-of-characters.htm  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24213-pelvic-congestion-syndrome https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hydrocephalus/symptoms-causes/syc-20373604 https://lizzieandrewborden.com/chronologies/chronology1789-1892.htm https://lizzieandrewborden.com/chronologies/probableevents.htm https://lizzieandrewborden.com/suspects-in-the-borden-case.htm https://www.historictrialtranscripts.com/lizzie-borden-preliminary-hearing#:~:text=She%20was%20transported%20to%20the,ending%20on%20September%201%2C%201892.
