Lizzie Borden: The Woman Accused of Killing Her Parents In August 1892, a shocking crime took place in the small town of Fall River. A wealthy businessman, Andrew Borden, and his wife, Abby Borden, were found brutally murdered in their home. Both had been struck multiple times with a hatchet-like weapon. Suspicion quickly fell on their daughter, Lizzie Borden. Why? She was in the house when the murders happened, and some believed there was tension within the family. Police also found that Lizzie had given conflicting statements. The case became one of the biggest news stories in America. Crowds packed the courtroom, eager to hear the evidence. But despite all the suspicion, prosecutors could not prove that Lizzie committed the murders. There was no eyewitness, no murder weapon clearly tied to her, and much of the evidence was weak. In 1893, after a sensational trial, the jury found Lizzie Borden not guilty. Yet the mystery never disappeared. More than 130 years later, people still ask the same question: Did Lizzie Borden get away with murder, or was she an innocent woman wrongly accused? No one knows for sure—and that's why the Lizzie Borden case remains one of history's most famous unsolved mysteries.
