support the show https://patreon.com

This week, We cover the Lizzie Borden murder case of 1892, one of the most famous unsolved crimes in American history. Lizzie was accused of killing her father and stepmother with a hatchet in their Fall River, Massachusetts home and tried for the axe murders.

Jamie and Leo cover the murders, the trial, the evidence that never made it to court, a Wild Man theory that suggests the real killer may have walked away entirely and some theories of their own. Come with us as we hack into this Darkive together . Also check out the now streaming Netflix original Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.

Serious history. Told not so seriously.
