Cool man 😊
I've been fascinated by and intrigued by lizzie Borden and the murders since I was 13,and saw a magazine article in my English class. I then saw the TV movie and loved it. I do think she did it. That museum interesting and fun. I also would go to the house, it's a Bed and Breakfast. I live in CT.
Well done. i do believe that Lizzie did it yet there are questions and a mystery. Great job. wish it was longer.
I got to go pok da cah
Interesting
Not an axe. The iron was the murder weapon.
I think so, too.
Wow that didn't even occur to me, very possible
Yes, she did it,,,,
In the Lizzie Borden house in 1892 they were on the grid the telephone was invented in 1876 in Edison invented the light bulb in the 1880s so they could have had light in the house they are also running water in the house the cat sinks and bathtubs the only water that they had was in the kitchen like a little pump to wash dishes that's it I used to go to the bathroom in the house one of those toilet things that used to dump out in the in the streets or dump out in the yard that's how they do their business either in the house or the seller but there was no running water for a toilet do you use a portable toilet with a ceramic Bowl lift up the living dump it that's how cheap Mr Borden was Mr Borden I think was born in 1823 and of course he died in 1892
Were the Axis or hatches were made by Sears Roebucks company
Also there's been some controversy interesting facts that when Lizzie Borden and her sister moved into the new house they always had parties they had some men or some guys but a lot of women Lizzie Borden could have had sex with their own sister can a lesbian type way but Lizzie Borden has sex with an actress that's always coming over to the house and having party Lizzie Borden's sister moved out because of all the parties and everything but Lizzie Borden was an outcast in the community you know she craved to be part of high society but High Society shunter because that stigma of being accused of killing her stepmother and her father
Oh yeah it was August of 1892 when the murders occurred Lizzie Borden was born in 1860 and she died in 1927 the Lizzie Borden live way into the 20th century I think Emma was like four or five years older but I'm not really sure I don't remember but I know the boarding house that still standing today was built in 1845
Emmy was 10 years older. And died about 9 days after Lizzie . When Emma heard the news of Lizzie death she fell. Broke her hip. And died 9 days after Lizzie
I want to know more about Lizzie and the hotel in Boston. The call was cut short!
The theory that an illegitimate son, Wm "Billy," did it fits perfectly, but there's no direct link he was Andrew's son. There was lots o' talk about the cellar door being left open for him to enter the house, & it was likely NOT Lizzie who laughed on the stairs, but the killer. Bridget thought only Lizzie was in the house w/her & assumed it was her. Go figure.
Wow interesting story ❤
This is fantastic what a great listen thank you for this
Lizzie Borden Victorian Murederess
Nice images. No one could come up with any sort of script to help elucidate what we are seeing??
What was the fire in 1915 named again?
It was in 1916 and also known as the Steiger Store Fire.
Lovely video! Thank you!
She more than likely did this with an iron. Wore a scruff over her head and face. Maybe, on her father's murder, Wore her father's coat over her body that was stuffed under his head.
Agree. What they described as 3 wounds on the back of Abbys head actually looks like a triangle in her autopsy photo ( Andrew's photo is too blurry to make out any details at all). The end of a flat iron is pointed & triangular. There were also 2 hooded, rubberised, full length womens raincoats in the home. They were wipe clean. Perfect cover up. They were called rain gossamers. The bloody rags in the cellar bucket werent menstrual as she claimed, they were clean up of blood etc.
She did do it
This man has no idea what he's talking about
Thank you for keeping my city's history alive
It isn't really plausible that Bridget would not haveheard the murder being committed if she was napping nearby. A crime of that nature could not easily be committed soundlessly. Yet she claimed that she heard nothing while the crime was being comitted, and only discovered the body sometime later. That is not plausible. That we don't know what a person of interest's motive was is hardly proof that he/she had no motive. It just means that we haven't investigated that individual's circumstances and feelings sufficiently to know whether or not he/she had a motive. Let us suppose that the thrifty and judgmental Andrew, or his wife, had decided that Bridget's work performance was unsatisfactory, that they had given her notice of dismissal, and had refused to give her a "character" reference that would enable her to get another job. Of course we don't know whether orthat happened, But the police were so focused onLizzie that they don't seemed to have questioned her orher acquaintances extensively, or examined her letters, diary if shehad one, etc. This was part of the larger problem withthe investigation--the police had tunnel vision focused on Lizzie, and didn't seriously investigate other possible suspects.
What a shame the city has become. Had to leave way to much violence and drugs. A once great city full of middle class factory workers trying to make their dreams come true in a new country. Now a cesspool where other cities and towns dump their section 8. Lived off Pleasant St. And North Main.
My grandparents and uncle talked about The Great Fire . When my Uncle Albert passed in the 60s his will couldnt be found because it was destroyed in his lawyers office during the fire and his lawyer had passed away too. Many paper items fueled that fire .
Great speaker. Expect this man has passed, RIP.
It is pretty obvious that this was a murder suicide. Andrew killed his wife, left the home and returned. He felt guilt and killed himself when Lizzy left the room. Mystery solved. You're welcome.
Andrew was not home when Abby died. No one kills themself by whacking their face in with a hatchet.
@@highcountrydelatite There’s no proof. Lizzie was acquitted in under two hours.
Abby was killed about 90 minutes before Andrew. Andrew was not yet home. Ergo, Andrew did not kill Abby.
Wish it was that cut and dried! 😂
I had heard they found a hatchet on the neighbors barn roof? Also some clothes buried in the back of the borden's barn? thoughts?
Years after the murders, a hatchet SS found on the Crowed roof.Harvard scientists tested it for blood. There was none. The dress that was burned was covered with paint, not blood.
Time for some Linguica and kale soup
What an amazing job you did Stefani Koorey. I see some buildings that remained which are still here in Fall River. So much destruction but thanks for sharing this amazing documentary.
Thank you for all you do.
Motivation
This old boy is smoking crack. Lizzie did it and she know she did it
She said she would give all her fortune if it could be proved she didn't do it, as she was taunted & ostricized for the rest of her life & wanted to be treated kindly, with respect. Cops often suspect, convict innocent oeople who are exonerated years later by dna.
Gilt was found by 2 drs on Abbies skull, oroving a new hatchet was the weapon-- new hatchets had gilded edge, but this was never brought out in trial. I still velieve she didnt do it-- like the jury did.
@@barbaraedgley2634 the jury just didn't want a convicted woman and thought there wasn't enough evidence. But when it comes right down to it and there's nobody else that could have done it
No blood on her, no bloody clothes found in house or yard or barn, no murder weapon found on property, so why think Lizzie did it just because she was home at the time? Maid Bridget was also home at the time. Neighbors home nearby. Busy street, a stranger wouldnt be noticed, they lived near center of town. What about ilkegitimate son? He'd have a motive. What if whoevwr did it had no motive-- no financial gain? Even nowdays serial killers kill strangers, just to kill.
Neighbor could have done it. Ilkegitimate son could have done it. Disgruntled renter could have done ut. Stranger could have done it. Bridget or bridgets boyfriend could have done it. Never so absolute as to say no one but X could have done it. No blood on her, no bloody clothes found, no murder weapon found, she never left property. Bridget heard/saw nothing, why suspicious that Lizzie also never heard/saw nothing. Neighbors home, window drapes not shut yet neighbors saw/ heard nothing either. Dr was home across the street, maybe he did it, or some passing tradesman. Hard to think a 5'3" woman who taught Sunday School was able to physicalky assault 2 peopke & not mess up her hair, break into a sweat or get any blood on herself.
Lizzie was acquitted in less than an hour. There is no real evidence against her.
@@highcountrydelatite Cite it please.
Well done
There are two parts of the argument against Lizzie that never make any sense by the people arguing them. 1. they say she had to have heard the murders, but they ignore that Bridget didn't hear the murders. So apparently it's possible to not hear the murders that morning. 2. They say it makes no sense that somebody killed Abbie, then waited around an hour and half without being seen. Actually that sounds exactly like what a killer would do, if it were NOT Lizzie. You sneak into the house, you're hiding in the spare bedroom, you're discovered by Abbie, you kill her and simply close the door. Then when Andrew gets home, you wait for people to leave the rooom, kill him, and leave. Lizzie could have done it, but these two points of 'evidence' people throw out are hugely flawed. Bridget was in the house from 9 to 11:30 and never found Abbie, so why couldn't Lizzie have been in the house the same time and never found Abbie? If an outside intruder wanted to kill Andrew, he could have simply stayed in the spare bedroom with the body until Andrew got home. Now you still have all the other problems of Lizzie's behavior, and the motive that she had, and nobody saw an intruder enter or leave, etc. but these two points everybody always brings up are complete fallacies.
I believe that Bridget got a payoff.
this is a good point... people assume it's lizzie in part because they think the killing of abby looks more 'violent and angry'. What if it was just more panicked? Killer was there to kill Andrew. Maybe he thought abby wouldn't be home that day, she finds him, he kills her, then hides and waits for his real target.
This is nonsense she did it just another author trying to get attention for his book
I think he made some valid points.
No murder weapon was ever found despite numerous searches. No bloody clothing was found. There was no blood on Lizzie’s body. Bathing was difficult as there was no shower or tub. The only running water was in the kitchen and the barn. Lizzie was acquitted in an hour. Countless mock trials have also acquitted her.
i love this guys vibe, i could listen to him talk about anything i think.
I agree.
Great history thank you
What a delight to hear Edwin Dunbaugh once again -- here giving this presentation on his beloved Fall River Line and those graceful sidewheelers. Thank you for sharing this. (Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, '98)
Thank You for posting,, am from F R ,, I find this particular history very interesting, I thought at one time that Tiverton on up to Warren R. I. were part of Massachusetts.
Emma and Lucy and Uncle John all three were involved in it Uncle John memorized everything if you didn't what was the purpose of memorizing everything he had nothing to do with it
Who is Lucy?
They probably meant to say Lizzie but they didn't bother proof reading it before sending it.
Emma was not with her friends that morning did not receive the telegram right away and failed to take many trains back home that day. A witness saw a strange man like a woman dressed in man’s clothes lurking around the house. Who else if you rule out Lizzie could have moved around that house undetected.
It could have been William Borden
One of the greatest city's in America. Fall River was the Textile Industry as was Detroit was to the auto world.
This geezer did jack in Lizzie Bs defence WTF oh yeah By his book - I agree that the timing of the deaths could be well out and burning a dress in front of others being a dummy thing to do and the letter - which I've heard it said the Doctor put into a " fire " what and why a fire - it's very hard to Imagine L B swinging a iron axe 🪓 or hatchet and smashing two people up - what about the noise ? - it is possible but makes little sense that Somebody else did the Actual Killin - oh Sh*t how much is your book again fella .
I loved this Thank you. I grew up in Connecticut and moved to Fall River in 1969.
At no point in this lecture did I feel the author ever built a case in defense of Lizzie; if anything, I feel like he solidified the case against her.
Same. He also left a lot of information out, important details around the facts that paint a very different picture. For example the pharmacy was literally only a 2-3 minute walk from the Borden house, where Lizzie had lived since she was 12. But she claimed she had no knowledge about it. Really? Literally right around the corner from your house, on the Main Street, when people frequently walked to travel short distances and she had no idea it was there? Lots of other things as well.
A thief comes along, sees a woman (Lizzie) exit side rear door & go into back yard or barn. Thinking house is empty he quickly slips in thru that same door, speedily checks out 1st floor, heads up front steps assuming or knowing jewelry & money would be kept upstairs. Unexpectedly spots woman upstairs (Abby), silences her. In his frenzied state he does overkill, now just wants to get out, but hears someone (Maid) from 3rd floor come down rear stairs, go to let someone inside (Andrew). In his nervousness he lets out what the woman thinks is a giggling sound. Man (Andrew) is let in, woman (maid) leaves, killer hears another woman enter & exit downstairs (Lizzie), on way out man spots the intruder, starts to get off couch, so killer rushes the few steps, silences the man in a fury of anger & desperation & races out. A short while later woman enters, discovers dead man, calls other woman down from 3rd floor, sends her to fetch dr while neighbor rushes over. Time of death not exact science. Upper room hotter than downstairs, window could have been open, air blowing on body, etc- woman discovered a good 15 minutes or more after man found, so her blood appears to have dried. Many assumed she died much earlier since no one saw her since early morning. Media sells many papers with lurid story, public wants police to instantly nab the killer, Lizzie is easiest suspect & solution to problem. For lack of any real proof, jury acquits. But Lizzie's reputation is ruined. She's made butt of taunts & rhymes, horrible scandal, ostracized, abandoned by many church friends. ( not because they think she's guilty but because of the scandal attached to her.)
@@Catbooks Neither of the Bordens were killed by poison.
@@nbenefiel I'm aware. She couldn't obtain it, but she tried to, and to cover up tried to say she didn't even know the pharmacy right around the corner from her existed.
Lizzie doesn’t need a defense. As of today she’s innocent. It’s up to you to prove it.
I have never believed Lizzie was guilty. It is refreshing to hear that someone else sees it that way.
I'm not too sure either !
John Morse, the uncle, was very suspect. He had a ridiculously perfect alibi, even remembering the number of the street car he was on, describing people he saw along the way in detail, etc. He also had NOT been there to visit in two years, at that point, so his arrival was very coincidental. Last but not least, when he came back to the house, police and people were milling all over. Instead of asking what was going on, he went into the backyard and ate pears. After about 45 minutes, he finally entered into the back of the house and joined the chaos inside. He was a business partner of Andrew. Killing Abby would have eliminated one more person who could financially impact an inheritance or business deals. Lizzy had no way to wash up if she did it, and no one mentions her hair being wet, or blood on her. I also think the murders were committed at the same time, not 1-2 hours apart. Forensics back then were abysmal.
Yes and the fact that she was found in the room he was staying in didn't help
Actually forensics weren’t that bad in the late 19th century. They were pretty good at establishing time of death back in the Middle Ages.
Also, John Morse was a butcher; how convenient? Plus, he was a man back in 1890s, unlike today!
@@roxanneshelton8671 A butcher! Didn't know that.
