Episode 126- Forty Whacks, or was it Forty-One?
Welcome to What The Heck season 3! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. This week, we're looking at the Lizzie Borden Murders. In 1892, the Bordens were killed in their own home. Lizzie had been home all day and was eventually a suspect. After her trial, she was aquitted of the murders. What happened to Andrew and Abby Borden? Why was Lizzie put on trial? Who are the other suspects? Listen in to hear all the theories!
