In August of 1892, the Borden family housekeeper found a horrific scene: Mr. and Mrs. Borden both murdered in their own home. There were no signs of forced entry, and no sign that a stranger had been in the house at all! The only other person who was home was their daughter, Lizzie Borden.

The mystery surrounding these murders became a sensational case in Fall River, Massachusetts, and beyond. Lizzie Borden became a celebrity almost overnight. But was she guilty? And, if not Lizzie, then who else could have been responsible?
