Well over 100 years after the fact, this murder is still news. Did Lizzie Borden get away with murder, or did someone else? No one knows but everyone has an opinion. Choose from the following major suspects (or add your own) and cast your vote in the box to the right.
  • Lizzie Borden - The accused - Had means, motive and opportunity; but there was reasonable doubt.
  • Emma Borden - Lizzie's older sister - Had the same motives, but a better alabi.
  • Brigit Sullivan - The maid - Driven mad by having to wash windows on such a hot day while recovering from food poisoning.
  • John V. Morse - Lizzie's uncle - Happened to be visiging at the time, making deals with Andrew.
  • William S. Borden - Illigitimate half-brother - Enraged by his father's refusal to meet his demands for money.
  • A conspiracy - Two or more of the above.
