Episode 45: Lizzie Borden part 1

Welcome back to episode 45 and one of the weirdest, technically unsolved, crimes in American history. It was such a sensation that it got its very own rhyme that most kids still know almost 130 years later:

Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done she gave her father 41.

It sure seems like she did it, but take a listen and decide for yourself.
