INFAMOUS: Lizzie Borden
Lizzie Borden took an ax
Gave her mother forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one
But did she really? In this episode we tell the story of Lizzie Borden and the other suspects in the case who you’ve probably never heard of.
We’d love to speak with you and see how we can support.
