This week, Gina covers the notorious case of Lizzie Borden. When Andrew & Abby Borden are both found dead as the result of an axe murderer in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892, suspicion immediately falls to Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie. The crimes captured the nation. The accused walked free, and the case continues to live in infamy.
