On August 4, 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts, a wealthy businessman and his wife were brutally murdered in their home. Their youngest daughter, 33-year-old Lizzie Borden, who lived in the home and did not get along with her stepmother, became the prime suspect in the murders. The only other people in the home at the time were Lizzie's sister Emma, who was visiting a friend, and the maid Maggie, who claimed to be resting upstairs after washing windows.
