In 1892, a young woman in Fall River, MA was arrested for brutally murdering her parents but was subsequently acquitted. Not only has Lizzie Borden become a cultural legend, but the unsolved murders have created a lasting legacy of amateur criminal investigations, and endless speculation. The popularity and enduring qualities of this American mystery has cast a long shadow on our collective imaginations.
The Lizzie Borden Documentary Project will be an on-going series that will explore various aspects of the case and visit the actual sites in Fall River where the drama played out.
