Episode 18: Lizzie Borden

Hey friends!

On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.     

This week, we are talking about the infamous Lizzie Borden; or as she liked to be called Lisbeth. Following a series of events where Lisbeth and her sister grow increasingly angry and resentful towards their father and step mother regarding finances, on the morning of August 4, 1892, Lisbeth allegedly axed her father Andrew, and her step mother Abby, to death. However, she was tried and acquitted of all charges and lived out the rest of her days in Fall River, Massachusetts... where she grew up and allegedly committed her crimes. This chick didn't give a single heck.
