Doomed to Fail

Ep 24: Axe-executioners and Moor-ders: Lizzie Borden and The Moors Murders


Listen Later

This week Farz goes back across the pond to tell the story of the murderous pairing of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. These two attacked and killed children across Manchester and buried them in the moors (which is British for super big field). A Neo-Nazi found his match in a girl who would do anything for him, takes one to know one.  This is the story of the Moors Murders. 

Then, Taylor tells the truly American tale of Lizzie Borden and her axe (maybe!?! We don’t know that she did it for sure and we will never know!). On a Tuesday morning on a busy street Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered with an axe before noon! Could it have been their daughter?

Everybody together!

Lizzie Borden took an axe

and gave her mother forty whacks.

When she saw what she had done,

she gave her father forty-one.
