Andrew Borden, a wealthy businessman, and his wife Abby were found hacked to death in their home. They had been killed with an axe. Word of the bloody crime scene and shocking crime quickly got out to area residents who wondered if a madman was living amongst them. But suspicion quickly fell on one of Andrew's own Daughters, Lizzie. At times, her story from that day changed, and witnesses observed her doing suspicious things.
