After Lizzie Borden was acquitted for the murders, no other suspect was ever brought to trial, and the murders remain unsolved.

In Chapter 36, we see how, immediately following the trial, Lizzie and her sister fulfilled their life-long dream and moved to Fall River’s most prestigious neighborhood where they lived together until they parted ways after a mysterious schism and never spoke again. The sisters died within two weeks of each other and are both buried in the family plot with their murdered parents.

In Chapter 37, I share my comments on the case, some tips on protecting yourself from intruders, a quiz to test your knowledge of the Borden case, some snarky humor, and a list of references and cool sites.

After her disastrous testimony at the inquest into their deaths, Andrew Borden's eldest daughter, Lizzie, was indicted for the murders.

She was represented at trial by a dream team of defense attorneys that included a former Massachusetts governor and a former Suffolk County district attorney. The defense strategy depicted Lizzie as a law-abiding Sunday school teacher who could not have possibly committed such a heinous act.

The good-girl defense coupled with the successful suppression of key pieces of evidence left the prosecution with a purely circumstantial case that didn’t convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

In Chapter 34 and 35, we’ll examine the crimes themselves and Lizzie's indictment, trial, and acquittal.
