Do you think Lizzie Borden killed her parents or was it someone else?

Elizabeth Montgomery did a great job portraying Lizzie Borden.

[judithmitchell]

Elizabeth Montgomery was hands down the best Lizzie. The sweat on her face ( It was a stifling hot day that day according to reports), her eyes, and subtle nuances of the character - perfection.

[liveinms]

The way they were killed was personally. Whoever killed them knew them and hated them

[robinaroundtown...]

My father was the Cameraman on the Elizabeth Montgomery movie ..
My father also lived near the original house in Massachusetts when he was a child...
So gave insight into the murders from rumors in the 1930's...
I was also on the set during filming assisting my dad...
I am also a Cameraman in Hollywood...
May I say that Elizabeth was a fantastic and great lady to work with...
Anything my dad needed her to do to get the shot right...more chilling...she was right there...!!!

I stayed in the Lizzie Borden house, my sister and I stayed in Lizzie and Emmas' rooms, interesting but no ghosts. I have been fascinated by this case since I was a kid, have read anything and everything ever written about it. Love this

[marciamusiak]

My sister and I stayed at The B&B in Lizzie and Emmas' rooms, we both read every book ever written on the case, I became interested in this story when I was very young, I would say I was 10, and today when I am closer to 80 then to 70, I still can't get enough of it.

How do you leave out Elizabeth Montgomery who's family tree traces back to her being a distant relative to Lizzie as well!!??!!?? Her performance was my favorite out of them all!!!

[pninnabokov]

New theory has it the murder weapon was a "sad iron" or cast iron which Lizzie was using to iron that morning. Even a cursory examination of the wounds to the skulls shows this is the most realistic weapon. It has a practical handle, is heavy metal and has both sharp edges and pointed ends. Use, rinse and display. Repeat. No one would be the wiser. I think the theory has great merit.

I've been to the Bordens house 3 times. Not including the 1st time I went there with the Sightings Camera Crew. She was a swell looker. The best film adaption ever was Elizabeth Montgomery!

[sylviaklages]

What about John Morse, Lizzie's uncle, who was visiting the Bordens? He disappeared the morning of the murders. John was also a big, strong butcher who toted some serious butcher tools. The day before the murders, John and Andrew had gotten into a big fight over a business deal wherein John accused Andrew of cheating him. Does anybody ever talk about those little details?

Another point to consider is the fact that Lizzie Borden was found innocent of all charges by a jury of her peers.

Elizabeth Montgomery did an amazing job playing Lizzie Borden.

[michaelbarlow]

One of the most interesting aspects of the Lizzie Borden case is that a Fall River police officer saw Bridget Sullivan, the Borden family maid, at dusk on the day of the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, make two trips across the street from the Borden house to a house across the street. The second time, unlike the first time, Sullivan was noticeably limping. The officer incredibly failed to stop Sullivan to ask her why she was limping! It is very possible that she was limping because she had attached the murder weapon - the hatchet - to her leg and it may have been banging against her knee causing her to limp. Although this is speculation, Sullivan's limping is one of the most interesting mysteries in that infamous case!

Y'all need to change your copy to include Elizabeth Montgomery as Lizzie Borden. While the other two actresses may have done a good job, and have in other roles they've played, Elizabeth Montgomery deserves credit for her stunning performance!

[taralee]

After reading 4 books on this case, I'm inclined to go with the boyfriend theory. Lizzie said so on what she thought was her deathbed, but then didn't die. Also, a Lot of money was at stake. Her step mother dying first in Not a coincidence.

[signalfire]

This video briefly shows the pigeons that were Lizzie's pets. Andrew cut their heads off in a fit of anger against something Lizzie had done. THAT'S why she finally flipped out and killed them both. I also wonder if she wasn't being sexually abused by him. There were some really weird family dynamics going on in that household, besides just the 'Andrew was a miser' ones.

[Barbarra]

You mention two actresses who portrayed Borden yet you don't even mention Elizabeth Montgomery's portrayal which for my money surpassed the other two hands down.

[maryannebphillips]

I heard stories that both sisters were molested by their father, which would explain neither marrying and that was one reason that Lizzie was found not guilty.

[celestekassler]

A few things I wonder about: Why were there no bruising or trauma to Lizzie's hands? This would have occurred to anyone wielding a weapon with several hard impacts involved.
Also with this type of killing there would have definitely been blood in her hair, yet her hair had not been washed.
And why did Lizzie and Emma stop speaking to each other after the murders? Never spoke to each other ever again. Just some things to ponder. 🤔

[danielman]

Did a mock trial of Lizzie in 8th grade... Was on her defense... Wish information was easier to get 23 years ago lol
