In August 1892, Lizzie Borden was accused of one of the most infamous crimes in American history.

This case shook the entire nation and even to this day is remembered in children's rhymes.

32-year-old Lizzie Borden was arrested for the murder of her father Andrew and her stepmother

Abby in Fall River, Massachusetts. Both victims were killed by over 40 crushing blows by a hatchet.

A year later following a jury indictment, Lizzie Borden went on trial for the murders and was

acquitted of all charges against her. However, to this day, the question of whether Lizzie Borden

committed the murders remains and many say it is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American

history. Today, we're sharing a special bonus episode on the psychology of Lizzie Borden,

which we recorded with Kaelin Moore from the Hit New Podcast Heart Starts Pounding.

This bonus episode expands on a full episode Kaelin aired about Lizzie Borden on May 31st.

sure? Well, it turns out, if we knew then what we know now, the trial would have looked a lot

different. In this episode, Amy and Megan helped me understand what we know today about why

people commit crimes and how that applies to what probably happened that fateful morning of August

4th, 1892. I learned so much from talking with them and I hope you do too. Amy and Megan,

welcome to Heart Starts Pounding. Hi, Kaelin. Thanks so much for having us. Thank you so much for
