Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the 1892 axe murders, yet a notorious nursery rhyme still casts her as the killer. Terrifying & True returns to Fall River, Massachusetts, to examine the deaths of Andrew and Abby Borden and the evidence at her 1893 trial. From the disputed barn alibi and burned dress to the handleless hatchet, follow the clues that fueled suspicion without securing a conviction. Separate the historical record from folklore and competing theories. Why did suspicion survive the verdict—and why are the murders still unsolved? We're telling that story tonight.
