Abby and Andrew Borden were killed with a hatchet in their home while their daughter Lizzie was at home, also at home during the crime was the maid, Bridget Sullivan.

Back in the 1890's did they want to believe a woman could not have committed such a heinous murder. Or, did Lizzie pull off the perfect murder. You decide!
