In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were hacked to death in their locked Fall River home while their 32-year-old daughter Lizzie was the only other person inside. Over 130 years later, the case is still officially unsolved and now serves as the inspiration for Ryan Murphy’s latest installment of the "Monster" series. Let’s dive into mounting family resentment, the evidence the jury never heard, and Lizzie’s lavish lifestyle after the murders. Love true crime, horror, folklore, and the unexplained?
