About this listen

 Episode One: Forty Whacks - The Murders at 92 Second Street Episode one examines the brutal double homicide of August fourth, eighteen ninety-two. We explore the dysfunctional Borden household: wealthy but miserly Andrew Borden, his resented second wife Abby, and daughters Lizzie and Emma living in bitter tension. On a sweltering summer morning, Abby was struck nineteen times with a hatchet while making a bed. Ninety minutes later, Andrew was murdered on his sitting room sofa, his face destroyed by eleven blows. Only four people had access to the locked house. Maid Bridget Sullivan and Uncle John Morse had solid alibis. Lizzie's contradictory statements, calm demeanor, and suspicious behavior immediately drew police scrutiny, leading to her arrest one week later.
