On a hot muggy day 1892 in Fall River an unknown person took an axe and gave a number of whacks to Andrew Borden and his wife Abigail. Andrew's youngest daughter Lizzie was acquitted of the double murder but acquittal did nothing to dispel suspicions. Did she? Or didn't she? The question still reverberates.
