  • Lizzie Borden: The Unsolved Axe Murders of Fall River
    2026/09/23
    Lizzie Borden. Fall River, Massachusetts. August 4th, 1892. Two people are found dead inside a locked house — Andrew Borden and his wife Abby, both killed with a hatchet in broad daylight. No forced entry. No missing weapon. No witnesses. And the only person ever charged with the crime walked out of court a free woman.

    In this episode of The Case Ledger, we break down the Lizzie Borden murders in full: the tense family dynamics inside the Borden house, the burned dress that turned police suspicion into a criminal case, the inconsistencies in Lizzie's own testimony, and the trial that ended in a not-guilty verdict after less than two hours of deliberation. More than 130 years later, the Lizzie Borden case remains officially unsolved. No one else was ever charged. No confession was ever made.

    We look at the leading theories — from an undiagnosed medical condition to a resentful housemaid to an outside intruder — and why none of them have ever fully held up. If you're into true crime, cold cases, unsolved murders, or classic American crime history, this is one of the cases that still doesn't add up.
