- 2:35Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna try again. It's one of the
- 2:37Speaker 3: most famous murder cases in history. Today we are talking
- 2:41Speaker 3: about Lizzie Borden. Did she take that act? Did she
- 2:44Speaker 3: give them forty wacts? We'll talk about it, even an act,
- 2:47Speaker 3: we'll talk about it.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere, no, okay, So, as you all know,
- 2:56Speaker 5: I have been beset by technical problems this week and
- 3:00Speaker 5: today doesn't want to be any different.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But that's fine. Hey, it's like a live radio show.
- 3:05Speaker 3: You do what you do, You take what you can take.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Ryan Murphy and Netflix are going to be spending a
- 3:10Speaker 3: lot of money to make sure that you watch the
- 3:13Speaker 3: monster Lizzie Bordon's story. But was she a monster? Did
- 3:18Speaker 3: she do it? Did she not? Or was she a victim?
- 3:21Speaker 3: Could she have been a victim of incest or foul play?
- 3:24Speaker 3: Could the murder have been to get rid of a
- 3:26Speaker 3: philandering father? Oh my goodness, we are going to find
- 3:29Speaker 3: out today and that's very, very exciting. We have Rick
- 3:33Speaker 3: McIntyre from the Lizzie Bordon House who is going to
- 3:36Speaker 3: be here with us for most of the show, and
- 3:38Speaker 3: I need your indulgence for the next couple weeks. On
- 3:41Speaker 3: the show, I'm going to be booking guests and spending
- 3:44Speaker 3: a large portion of the show with those guests. And
- 3:47Speaker 3: while the topics will be plucked from the news, they're
- 3:50Speaker 3: not going to be political, meaning Donald Trump, Donald Trump,
- 3:54Speaker 3: Donald Trump. You know, I can't, I can't anymore. I
- 3:59Speaker 3: yesterday our topic was when when are we going to
- 4:04Speaker 3: end this national nightmare? And the answer to that is
- 4:07Speaker 3: when we end it, when we actually move away from it. Look,
- 4:12Speaker 3: I think he's having an affair. I think this Natalie
- 4:15Speaker 3: woman is someone that he's either sleeping with or having
- 4:17Speaker 3: an emotional affair with. I think any other president would
- 4:20Speaker 3: have been taken to task for it. You know, I
- 4:24Speaker 3: don't really think that any other president would have been
- 4:27Speaker 3: given a pass like this, But this guy has broken
- 4:31Speaker 3: all the rules. I am more concerned about our lives,
- 4:35Speaker 3: you know, our lives and how are we living them?
- 4:38Speaker 3: What are we doing? Then? Are we happy? And I
- 4:41Speaker 3: think one of the ways for us to be a
- 4:43Speaker 3: little happier is not spend all hour, every hour every
- 4:47Speaker 3: day that I'm on the air bitching about Donald Trump.
- 4:50Speaker 3: That does seem deranged. That does seem to have a
- 4:53Speaker 3: little Trump derangement. You know, he'd driven me mad. So
- 4:57Speaker 3: I've got tomorrow this Gay Week with on Monday, we're
- 5:01Speaker 3: going to talk about the era of the influencer, because
- 5:04Speaker 3: influencers are huge, million, billion dollar businesses and they directly
- 5:09Speaker 3: influence some of the products you see and buy. But
- 5:11Speaker 3: most of you don't even know an influencer or know
- 5:14Speaker 3: what one is, let alone about the era of an
- 5:16Speaker 3: influencer being over or not. So we are going to
- 5:21Speaker 3: talk about that as well. So we've got a lot
- 5:24Speaker 3: to talk about. And other than Donald Trump, the war
- 5:27Speaker 3: is raging. He has not bombed any of our allies yet,
- 5:31Speaker 3: thank our lucky stars. But you know, our prices are soaring.
- 5:37Speaker 3: It's a mess, right America is a mess right now,
- 5:40Speaker 3: it really is. And so what I like to do
- 5:43Speaker 3: is some other stories. Netflix is spending about thirty million
- 5:47Speaker 3: dollars to bring you the Lizzie Borden story by Ryan Murphy,
- 5:50Speaker 3: but I don't think it's going to be accurate. In fact,
- 5:53Speaker 3: I think Ryan Murphy is going to try to painter
- 5:54Speaker 3: out as a lesbian who had an affair and then
- 5:57Speaker 3: tried to cover it. Up. That is not that did
- 6:00Speaker 3: not happen. So we're going to talk with someone today
- 6:04Speaker 3: from the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River to talk
- 6:08Speaker 3: about the facts, what we know and some of the
- 6:11Speaker 3: things that you don't know, or maybe don't You didn't
- 6:14Speaker 3: understand or didn't even know about the story. And if
- 6:17Speaker 3: you don't know anything about the story, then you're going
- 6:19Speaker 3: to learn a lot about it. And like I said,
- 6:22Speaker 3: tomorrow is this Gay Week with Scott Jacobson. Next week
- 6:25Speaker 3: we're going to talk about the documentary Big Chicken. We're
- 6:28Speaker 3: also going to talk about the era of the influencer.
- 6:31Speaker 3: And these guests are already lined up and already booked,
- 6:34Speaker 3: so that's fabulous. In the meantime, as I said, yes,
- 6:39Speaker 3: Lizzie storytime it is. In the meantime, I'm going to
- 6:44Speaker 3: try to stick to what I said. You know, I
- 6:50Speaker 3: can't change what's going on in Washington, d C. There
- 6:52Speaker 3: were some upsets yesterday. More Democratic Socialists are winning, including
- 6:56Speaker 3: in Florida. I don't like that they're calling themselves that
- 7:00Speaker 3: because democratic socialism is very radical. They want to get
- 7:04Speaker 3: rid of the borders, they want to get rid of police,
- 7:06Speaker 3: they want to get rid of the Senate and the
- 7:08Speaker 3: Congress and all that. I don't want to totally remake
- 7:11Speaker 3: America as a socialist nation, okay, but I do like
- 7:15Speaker 3: a lot of the tenets of socialism socialist programs, So
- 7:19Speaker 3: I think we should we need to stop being a
- 7:21Speaker 3: corporate company country, go back to being capitalist with a
- 7:26Speaker 3: strong socialist sensibility. So democratic socialists no, but capitalists socialist yes.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Using capitalism for good, using money raise through taxes and
- 7:40Speaker 3: the like for good. That's what I think we should
- 7:43Speaker 3: be doing. All right, when we come back, we're going
- 7:46Speaker 3: to talk to mister McIntyre from the Lizzie Bords House.
- 7:49Speaker 3: That's going to be very very very very very exciting.
- 7:53Speaker 3: So don't go.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Well you're missing out.

- 8:42Speaker 3: with the pride. It filled me in doing it.
- 8:49Speaker 2: To show time is here. No time to fear. Corell
- 8:56Speaker 2: is so near because show time is here. So on
- 9:00Speaker 2: with the show.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Let's give it a go.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Carrell is the one that you need.
- 9:06Speaker 3: To know, alrighty, You all know how I love my murder, death,
- 9:10Speaker 3: kill shows. I watched them by the dozens, including forensic shows,
- 9:15Speaker 3: and one of the shows that I watched, oh a
- 9:17Speaker 3: few months back, was a forensic anthropologist examining the Lizzie
- 9:21Speaker 3: Bordon case, and I've always been fascinated with it. My
- 9:25Speaker 3: mom was born in North Adams, Massachusetts, and in Massachusetts,
- 9:28Speaker 3: Lizzie is very famous because of course this occurred there.
- 9:32Speaker 3: And I have always always always wanted two things. One
- 9:36Speaker 3: to stay in the house because I'm just that kind
- 9:38Speaker 3: of creepy. And number two, I would buy the acts
- 9:41Speaker 3: if they ever found it, because I wanted Jeffrey Dahmers freezer.
- 9:44Speaker 3: I want the Sword of Calais, which is the sword
- 9:47Speaker 3: that beheaded end Bolin again because I'm just that kind
- 9:50Speaker 3: of creepy and I think that objects are just objects.
- 9:54Speaker 3: They have the weight that you give them a doctor.
- 9:57Speaker 3: My late husband, Andrew, he wanted to have a bar
- 10:00Speaker 3: barbecue and serve burgers and tell everyone that they were
- 10:02Speaker 3: frozen and Jeffrey Dahmer's freezer. But of course he is
- 10:04Speaker 3: the person that served rabbit on Easter Sunday and told
- 10:08Speaker 3: everybody they just ate the Easter Bunny. God bless him
- 10:11Speaker 3: and his sense of humor. So Ryan Murphy must have
- 10:15Speaker 3: the same fascination as I do, because he's pretty warped.
- 10:18Speaker 3: And he's made several shows, one of which was the
- 10:21Speaker 3: Jeffrey Dahmer Story, one of the Menendez Brothers. The most
- 10:26Speaker 3: recent was ed Geen with my future husband Charlie Hunham,
- 10:30Speaker 3: although after watching him in that, not sure where the
- 10:33Speaker 3: engagement's still on. But the next outing on Netflix, which
- 10:37Speaker 3: the trailer just dropped and Charlie Hunnam is in this
- 10:40Speaker 3: one again is the Lizzie Bordon Story. Now, I was
- 10:44Speaker 3: so excited about this interview. I told the cable guy
- 10:46Speaker 3: who was here to fix my lagging cable, that I
- 10:49Speaker 3: was talking to someone about Lizzie Borden. He didn't know
- 10:51Speaker 3: who Lizzie Bordon was. And today at lunch at the
- 10:56Speaker 3: Pan Asian restaurant where I go for Sri Lankan food,
- 10:59Speaker 3: the gentleman across me, who was like forty, didn't know
- 11:02Speaker 3: who Lizzy Bordon was and I thought, that's just criminal.
- 11:05Speaker 3: That is criminal right there. And of course everyone will
- 11:09Speaker 3: know once again once the TV show airs on Netflix,
- 11:11Speaker 3: because I'm sure it will do very well. Well. We
- 11:14Speaker 3: are so lucky today. Rick McIntyre is a longtime Bordon
- 11:18Speaker 3: history expert who has spent half a decade at the
- 11:21Speaker 3: Lizzie Bordon House, sharing the history of the Bordon family,
- 11:25Speaker 3: the events of August eighteen ninety two, which is when
- 11:27Speaker 3: all this occurred, and the enduring questions that surround the case.
- 11:32Speaker 3: As a Bordon history specialist, Rick brings years of research,
- 11:35Speaker 3: firsthand knowledge of the house, and a deep understanding of
- 11:39Speaker 3: what America's most famous unsolved and it's unsolved no matter
- 11:44Speaker 3: what you may think, it's unsolved, sort of like the
- 11:46Speaker 3: oj Simpson case. Unsolved murder cases. To tours and media
- 11:50Speaker 3: interviews and historical discussions, and he is here with us now.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Welcome Rick to the show. How are you doing?
- 11:58Speaker 6: Oh, thank you so much? Doing well?
- 12:01Speaker 3: Great? Listen, I bet you all are thrilled. First of all,
- 12:04Speaker 3: it's going to be good for business, the Netflix or
- 12:07Speaker 3: the Netflix theories coming up that Ryan Murphy is doing,
- 12:11Speaker 3: big name producer. Let me ask you this before we
- 12:15Speaker 3: get into the particulars of Lizzy about the show. Did
- 12:18Speaker 3: they contact you guys and do any research or did
- 12:21Speaker 3: they film it at the house or anything like.
- 12:23Speaker 6: That, Not at all, as far as I'm as far
- 12:26Speaker 6: as I understand. When they were approached by somebody who
- 12:34Speaker 6: is working on a musical right now, he said, look,
- 12:39Speaker 6: I know the people at the Lizzie Bordon house. I've
- 12:41Speaker 6: got connections at the Historical Society. Why don't I introduce
- 12:46Speaker 6: you to these people? And apparently the people from the
- 12:50Speaker 6: Brian Murphy production said, oh, that's okay, the script's already done.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Well, heaven forbid, they should try to be historically accurate.
- 12:59Speaker 3: It is Hollywood, after all.
- 13:01Speaker 6: What we expect it will be a lot like the
- 13:03Speaker 6: Christina Ricci movie, which you know, greatly entertaining, brings a
- 13:07Speaker 6: lot of attention to the Lizzie Bordon story, and people
- 13:11Speaker 6: will then want to come to the house to see
- 13:14Speaker 6: where it happened.
- 13:15Speaker 3: I loved I loved the Christina Ricci but I'm old
- 13:17Speaker 3: enough to go back to the Elizabeth Montgomery movie, which
- 13:22Speaker 3: I mean it was bewitched, everyone's favorite witch, and suddenly
- 13:25Speaker 3: she's Lizzie Gordon.
- 13:26Speaker 6: Ah, sheed to do. Uh she wanted to do more
- 13:29Speaker 6: dramatic roles after the years of sitcom life, and uh,
- 13:36Speaker 6: well she she picked one that I guess made quite
- 13:40Speaker 6: a bit of trouble between her and her father. Oh,
- 13:43Speaker 6: I couldn't believe she's going to play you know, a murderous,
- 13:47Speaker 6: A murderous and that's Lizzie Bordon. Like you said, the
- 13:52Speaker 6: case was unsolved because it was finally closed as a
- 13:58Speaker 6: cold unsolved crime. She was acquitted legally, right, you know,
- 14:04Speaker 6: culturally and.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Well it's looks like I referenced oj Simpson, the court
- 14:08Speaker 3: found him not guilty. We all have our opinion. I
- 14:11Speaker 3: know he did it. He admitted it later on, and
- 14:14Speaker 3: you know, before he died, he admitted it or not.
- 14:17Speaker 6: There are there are some is he dead?
- 14:19Speaker 3: Is dead? I don't even remember. I can't even remember
- 14:23Speaker 3: if he's dead or not. His career is well, yeah,
- 14:26Speaker 3: his career is over. So well, let's start in eighteen
- 14:30Speaker 3: ninety two. You know, I every day to make sure
- 14:33Speaker 3: that my friends know that I'm not dead, I send
- 14:36Speaker 3: out a little mean and ever since AI, I've been
- 14:39Speaker 3: doing this day in history, and all of my friends
- 14:41Speaker 3: love it because they're like, oh, I didn't know that
- 14:43Speaker 3: happened today. And it's it's me and my little dog Ember,
- 14:47Speaker 3: and we are either involved in or watching history. And
- 14:51Speaker 3: just like eight or ten days ago, now, it was
- 14:54Speaker 3: the anniversary of the bodies being found, you know, at
- 14:58Speaker 3: Jersey Boardon House. So this happened in August of eighteen
- 15:02Speaker 3: ninety two. So let's talk about that. It was an
- 15:05Speaker 3: August day. How did the bodies get found? Because my
- 15:09Speaker 3: understanding what Lizzy was the only one at the house.
- 15:12Speaker 3: I think phil was she the one that reported the
- 15:15Speaker 3: crime or who reported it? How did they get found?
- 15:19Speaker 6: Well, here's how it happened. She claimed to have come
- 15:22Speaker 6: back from a trip out to the barn to discover
- 15:25Speaker 6: Andrew's body.
- 15:27Speaker 3: That's the police.
- 15:29Speaker 6: Yeah, the police are summoned. There's a question of Lizzie
- 15:35Speaker 6: had said that Abby, the stepmother, wasn't there because she
- 15:39Speaker 6: received a note from a sick friend. After Andrew's body
- 15:44Speaker 6: is discovered, Lizzie will send the maid, who's accompanied by
- 15:50Speaker 6: the neighbor, up to look in the spare room to
- 15:55Speaker 6: see if Abby was up there, and that's when her
- 15:59Speaker 6: body was discover day later.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, there's a vicious rumor that she
- 16:03Speaker 3: was having an affair with the maid, and they she
- 16:05Speaker 3: did this to cover up a gay affair. There is
- 16:07Speaker 3: nothing that substantiates that particular rum No.
- 16:11Speaker 6: And there's there's other rumors about Lizzie later in life
- 16:14Speaker 6: that again are all speculation.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:17Speaker 6: I mean there's not even the coded letters of say
- 16:20Speaker 6: Emily Dickinson too.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't like that a day, man. I didn't
- 16:25Speaker 3: like that rumor. I thought, wait a minute, there has
- 16:27Speaker 3: been nothing that you know.
- 16:30Speaker 6: And one musical said that it was her friend Alice
- 16:32Speaker 6: Russell instead.
- 16:34Speaker 3: So they find the bodies, ah, and do they immediately
- 16:39Speaker 3: arreft Lizzy for the crime, like immediately No.
- 16:42Speaker 6: But she says some things on the day of the
- 16:45Speaker 6: murder that are very strange to police. She is asked
- 16:49Speaker 6: where she was at nine point thirty when Abbey was
- 16:52Speaker 6: killed upstairs. This is approximate time, mind you, But Lizzie
- 16:56Speaker 6: said she was in the dining room on the first
- 16:58Speaker 6: floor ironing han kerchiefs, but didn't hear anything on the
- 17:02Speaker 6: second floor like these body crashing to the ground.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Also suspicious to me. Not see. I just need to
- 17:12Speaker 3: I just need to tell you going into this, I
- 17:14Speaker 3: think Lizzie didn't do it. But that's only because I
- 17:17Speaker 3: watched a forensic show and they tried to piece together
- 17:21Speaker 3: all the existing evidence, these forensic anthropologists, and they simply
- 17:25Speaker 3: said that they just found it hard to believe, given
- 17:29Speaker 3: the evidence that we have, that Lizzie was the culprit.
- 17:33Speaker 3: And we'll get into this in a minute. But there
- 17:35Speaker 3: were other people in town, including someone the father had
- 17:38Speaker 3: had bad business dealings with or something. But there were
- 17:42Speaker 3: other people in town that could have done the job.
- 17:45Speaker 3: But so Lizzie says, she's there ironing handkerchiefs. By the way,
- 17:48Speaker 3: for those of you wondering what really, yes, really, people
- 17:52Speaker 3: used to iron their handkerchiefs. Uh. And it was a
- 17:54Speaker 3: big deal. And so I mean what, I I don't
- 17:58Speaker 3: know the house. I hadn't been, but if someone were
- 18:01Speaker 3: being axe murdered upstairs, I think I might hear it.
- 18:04Speaker 3: I mean maybe, I don't know.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't hear these body crashing to the floor
- 18:10Speaker 6: on the second, you know, in the guest room.
- 18:12Speaker 3: Now, how big was Lizzy? Was? She like five five
- 18:15Speaker 3: five to two.
- 18:16Speaker 6: He was five foot three and one hundred and thirty pounds.
- 18:20Speaker 6: We're talking about much smaller woman. And like you said,
- 18:25Speaker 6: the maid was there. She's in and out of the
- 18:28Speaker 6: house that morning, one.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Of the big girl of a maid.
- 18:36Speaker 6: You know, she chumped the wood for the for the stove,
- 18:39Speaker 6: so you know. And the uncle was in town, but
- 18:46Speaker 6: he has an alibi that places him far from the
- 18:49Speaker 6: house at the time of the two murders.
- 18:52Speaker 3: But do we have that did they recover the act?
- 18:55Speaker 3: Do we have the acts?
- 18:56Speaker 6: Well, we have the famous hand Littless hatchet that's at
- 19:01Speaker 6: the Historical Society. There was also there was a hatchet
- 19:07Speaker 6: found while the trial was going on. It was found
- 19:11Speaker 6: in the pear orchard behind the Bourdon's property by some
- 19:16Speaker 6: children who were climbing up on the roof of a
- 19:19Speaker 6: barn because their ball got stuck up there, and they
- 19:22Speaker 6: find a hatchet which matches the murder prosecution's murder weapon.
- 19:27Speaker 6: It was later claimed by a carpenter. But it's one
- 19:30Speaker 6: of the many coincidences of the trial that something matching
- 19:34Speaker 6: the murder weapon was found behind the property. But you know,
- 19:39Speaker 6: almost a year after the murders, no excuse me, six
- 19:47Speaker 6: eight months after the murders.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Probably the hatchet turns up. Rick McIntyre is my guest.
- 19:54Speaker 3: He worked at the Burdon House, which is in Is
- 19:56Speaker 3: it Fall River? I believe yes, fall I'm remembering that
- 20:00Speaker 3: because of my mom. My mom was born in North Adams,
- 20:02Speaker 3: and she would always talk about Fall River and Worcester
- 20:04Speaker 3: and all these other places in Massachusetts. So Lizzie, the
- 20:09Speaker 3: murders happen. All of a sudden, people start talking how
- 20:15Speaker 3: long between the murders and the time that Lizzie is arrested?
- 20:21Speaker 6: A week she's taken into Customers on the eleventh to
- 20:26Speaker 6: be for trial or to be held for you know,
- 20:30Speaker 6: the grand jury.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Okay, one week after.
- 20:35Speaker 6: She spends about ten months in prison before the trial.
- 20:39Speaker 3: So she goes to jail a week later. She's not
- 20:41Speaker 3: bonded out. She spends ten months in prison awaiting trial.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Right now, She, of course, I would imagine, uh, maintained
- 20:50Speaker 3: her innocence, correct, She always did, always, always maintained her innocence. Also,
- 20:56Speaker 3: she was an animal lover. I read somewhere that she
- 20:58Speaker 3: loved animals. Yep, she was.
- 21:00Speaker 6: She helped find the animal rescue Legal Fall River that's
- 21:03Speaker 6: still in business today.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Yes, that's yeah, like the equivalent of the AFPPA out
- 21:07Speaker 3: there that she helped, she helped or found that. So
- 21:10Speaker 3: she can't be all bad now let me ask you this.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Do we know about the relationship between Lizzy and her parents.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Was it a good relationship, a bad relationship? Was she
- 21:23Speaker 3: itching to get it off the farm? Or was she Okay,
- 21:26Speaker 3: here's where, here's where rumors go all over the place.
- 21:32Speaker 6: Some people say Andrew was this controlling miser.
- 21:39Speaker 3: And Andrew Bourdon was well off, right, he did well.
- 21:42Speaker 6: And he was well off, but he also treated Lizzie
- 21:44Speaker 6: and Emma very very well. He just didn't have any
- 21:48Speaker 6: interest in the social life that their money could have
- 21:52Speaker 6: afforded them, and that was something that was a frustration
- 21:56Speaker 6: to Lizzie. The issue more is about the stepmother who
- 22:01Speaker 6: people who know Lizzie say they heard her say things
- 22:06Speaker 6: about Abby. She's a mean old thing.
- 22:08Speaker 3: And Abby her stepmom. Abby was not her biological mom
- 22:13Speaker 3: stepmom Ah, Okay, what happened to her biological mother?
- 22:18Speaker 6: Mother died in eighteen sixty three of what we believe
- 22:22Speaker 6: is uterine cancer.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Ah.
- 22:24Speaker 6: The death certificates said uterine congestion and a disease of
- 22:31Speaker 6: the spine.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Okay, so that's what they cam. And then dad remarried,
- 22:35Speaker 3: and he remarried two years.
- 22:39Speaker 6: But for two years she's being cared for by her
- 22:41Speaker 6: older sister, and that sets up a dynamic where they're
- 22:44Speaker 6: really really close. And when Abby comes in, uh, the
- 22:48Speaker 6: older sister, Emma doesn't like her from the beginning and
- 22:53Speaker 6: will never warm up to her. She thinks that Ab,
- 22:56Speaker 6: you know, she's been taking care of Lizzie, she doesn't
- 22:59Speaker 6: need some strangers help. And uh, and it's only been
- 23:03Speaker 6: two years since mother died. And so as time goes by,
- 23:09Speaker 6: and Andrew helps Abby's family out with a housing crisis.
- 23:15Speaker 6: The children, the sisters, believe that Abby has too much
- 23:19Speaker 6: influence over their father and he's he's he's having his
- 23:23Speaker 6: will rewritten. And some people say the sisters were, you know,
- 23:28Speaker 6: worried that Abby would get control of the money and
- 23:31Speaker 6: they'd have to live under her roof. And this is
- 23:35Speaker 6: what motivates the murder.
- 23:36Speaker 3: But the thing that way to prevent that would be
- 23:39Speaker 3: to get rid of them both. Like if they just
- 23:40Speaker 3: got rid of Abby, he could have given the money
- 23:42Speaker 3: to somebody out so.
- 23:44Speaker 6: He right or or married again, or you know, some
- 23:48Speaker 6: people think the money is the motivator.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Then we're gonna we're gonna take a quick moment here,
- 23:55Speaker 3: but you know, money all we'd love her money. I
- 23:57Speaker 3: mean it is. You know, we don't read him. Uh.
- 24:00Speaker 3: You know. Rick is my guest and we are talking
- 24:02Speaker 3: Busney Barton because there is a new show coming and
- 24:05Speaker 3: we want to we want to get the facts. You
- 24:23Speaker 3: have to deep with hatred. Hey everyone, it's Corral. You know.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Pride Month was rough this year. We had a lot
- 24:32Speaker 3: of hate heaped upon us from Trump, from MAGA and
- 24:35Speaker 3: from other governments around the world. And if you are
- 24:38Speaker 3: a trans person you are really going through a particular
- 24:41Speaker 3: type of hell right now. That's why when I was
- 24:44Speaker 3: thinking of my next single in June, I sat down
- 24:46Speaker 3: and I wrote, you have to be proud. You have
- 24:50Speaker 3: to be proud with anger so loud streaming everywhere. Keep fighting,
- 24:56Speaker 3: keep singing, keep dancing. We're gonna win.
- 25:05Speaker 6: Now.
- 25:06Speaker 3: It's show side, all right. Rick McIntyre is my guest.
- 25:12Speaker 3: He is with the Bordon House. We are talking Lizzie
- 25:15Speaker 3: Bordon history here because of the new show coming on
- 25:17Speaker 3: Netflix from Ryan Murphy, but also because I happen to
- 25:21Speaker 3: really love Lizzie Boordon mystery. The Bordon House is in
- 25:24Speaker 3: Fall River. You can't stay there. It's a bed and breakfast.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Uh it's it's usually booked, but you can get your
- 25:30Speaker 3: reservation in and actually go and stay in the fabled
- 25:33Speaker 3: house where Andrew and his beloved step wife stepwife met
- 25:38Speaker 3: their demise at the hands of Lizzie Bordon or maybe not.
- 25:43Speaker 3: We still don't know. It is a cold case and
- 25:45Speaker 3: it has never truly been solved. Did she do it?
- 25:49Speaker 3: Did she not? The The evidence kind of points that
- 25:52Speaker 3: she did, But then there's evidence the points that she
- 25:55Speaker 3: kind of didn't. So it is one of the great mysteries.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Rick she she gets arrested, she goes to jail, they
- 26:03Speaker 3: start building the case against her. Was the case circumstantial? Because,
- 26:08Speaker 3: first of all, from what I know about blood splatter
- 26:11Speaker 3: and about the amount of energy it takes to actually
- 26:15Speaker 3: stab somebody or ax them a five foot, three hundred
- 26:19Speaker 3: and thirty pound woman, they would the two people that
- 26:23Speaker 3: she hurt, they'd have to be damn near comatose for
- 26:26Speaker 3: them to not wake up, fight back and be able
- 26:29Speaker 3: to overpower her. So what was the prosecution's theory as
- 26:33Speaker 3: to how a five foot, three hundred and thirty pound
- 26:35Speaker 3: woman wielding an axe could kill an adult male and
- 26:39Speaker 3: an adult female.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Well, Andrew is sleeping on a couch, okay, so he's
- 26:45Speaker 6: lower than five foot three abby they believe was kneeling
- 26:51Speaker 6: and making the bed up in the gifts up in
- 26:55Speaker 6: the guest room, So as far as as her being
- 27:00Speaker 6: tall enough, that's less the issue. But yeah, Victorian's science
- 27:07Speaker 6: itself believed that women didn't possess that, you know, that
- 27:12Speaker 6: inner murderous fury that so bedevils the male of the species.
- 27:16Speaker 6: So some people couldn't imagine that a refined woman like
- 27:20Speaker 6: Lizzie was even capable of this. Other theories are that
- 27:24Speaker 6: she she wasn't right in the head and had an episode,
- 27:29Speaker 6: an episode in which she might have killed her parents,
- 27:33Speaker 6: not been aware of what she was doing, and have
- 27:35Speaker 6: no memory of it later. This is kind of fanciful
- 27:39Speaker 6: because again, this murder happens four years after the founding
- 27:43Speaker 6: of psychology by this guy, William James, So they don't
- 27:47Speaker 6: really have psychological.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Profile profiling, thank you, that was what she hit the profile.
- 27:55Speaker 3: I watched Criminal Mind.
- 27:57Speaker 6: They didn't even have They didn't really have blood splatter
- 28:01Speaker 6: analysis the way we have today.
- 28:03Speaker 3: And now I remember in the movie with Montgomery that
- 28:08Speaker 3: we spoke about what one of the shocking things of
- 28:11Speaker 3: the movie, which she got naked because you know, we're
- 28:14Speaker 3: here to Bewitched and suddenly she's taken off all her clothes.
- 28:17Speaker 3: So the theory goes.
- 28:19Speaker 6: I think example of how the story, how the legend
- 28:23Speaker 6: outgrew the story.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Did she I mean, what is it bloody dress or anything?
- 28:31Speaker 3: Did they? Ever?
- 28:31Speaker 6: Here's the thing specific to her getting naked that never
- 28:35Speaker 6: happened as sad as I am as a as a
- 28:39Speaker 6: young boy watching Elizabeth Montgomery get naked on TV.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Uh.
- 28:46Speaker 6: That actually was traced to a joke her lawyer made
- 28:51Speaker 6: about the absurdity of Lizzie being the accused when she
- 28:56Speaker 6: had no blood on herself or her clothing. According to
- 29:01Speaker 6: one of the first witnesses in the house after Andrew's.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Murder, and as I understand, it was a very narrow window,
- 29:07Speaker 3: like thirty minutes there was there wasn't a long time
- 29:10Speaker 3: for her to do the murder clean.
- 29:12Speaker 6: Up, right, And on top of that, Bridget is in
- 29:17Speaker 6: and out of the house all morning, So it's estimated
- 29:20Speaker 6: that Lizzy had somewhere between ten to maybe fifteen minutes
- 29:26Speaker 6: between a kill and when Bridget comes into the house.
- 29:31Speaker 6: So that's where people get the idea that Bridget was
- 29:33Speaker 6: involved or knew what was happening, or was a lookout,
- 29:38Speaker 6: and one movie posits that Andrew kept visiting Bridget's room
- 29:43Speaker 6: at night and that would be why she might want
- 29:46Speaker 6: to kill him. And again the same movie, Lizzy and Emma,
- 29:51Speaker 6: I mean, Lizzy and Bridget are discovered together and there's
- 29:54Speaker 6: that whole subplot. Again, these are things that seem to
- 29:58Speaker 6: have grown around the historical story. Rights, there's no evidence
- 30:04Speaker 6: of Lizzie liking women over men, you know that. Yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 6: it's all conjecture.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all conjecture.
- 30:14Speaker 6: Conjecture, because she wouldn't get married afterwards.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Right, which was also was common in that time Boston marriage.
- 30:21Speaker 6: Is that money becomes her husband's money.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Right. Also, you're Lizzie Bordon, So I don't think the
- 30:28Speaker 3: suitors are lining up, you know. It's because, uh, this
- 30:34Speaker 3: was the we mentioned OJ. But this was equivalent in
- 30:38Speaker 3: terms of publicity of the time to the OJ trial
- 30:42Speaker 3: or any large trial. This was national news. I mean
- 30:46Speaker 3: people around America and the world were enthralled with this case.
- 30:51Speaker 3: I mean they came from all over to cover the trial.
- 30:54Speaker 6: It's the first big juicy story since the event of
- 30:59Speaker 6: the t A type machine and the wire press. So
- 31:04Speaker 6: it's it's it's it's the first crime of this, this
- 31:10Speaker 6: uh grandeur, that's extensively covered, as you said, in a
- 31:15Speaker 6: media that is you know, national news was front page
- 31:19Speaker 6: news in England. And this is a few years after
- 31:22Speaker 6: the Ripper murders, so they were they were pretty glad
- 31:25Speaker 6: for some American drama.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Uh. And I will say though, statistics do bear out
- 31:32Speaker 3: the defense and so much as only two percent of
- 31:34Speaker 3: serial killers are murder are women, uh, and only about five.
- 31:38Speaker 6: To another it's a it's another job in which there's
- 31:42Speaker 6: overwhelming male hegemony and a glass ceiling. We really need
- 31:47Speaker 6: some of the female serial killers out there to you know,
- 31:49Speaker 6: step it.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Up, stapop exactly.
- 31:51Speaker 7: God.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Also, only about five to seven actual murders are committed
- 31:55Speaker 3: by women. Women. Women tend to kill for either defense,
- 32:00Speaker 3: meaning they kill abusive spouses or they kill people that
- 32:04Speaker 3: are abusing them on the course of there's drugs and
- 32:07Speaker 3: money sort of thing. But basically women kill people that
- 32:10Speaker 3: were trying to harm them. So Lizzie sits in jail
- 32:13Speaker 3: for ten months. The conjecture I assume the I assume
- 32:16Speaker 3: the kids rhymes started during that time.
- 32:18Speaker 6: Everyone, Lizzy Bordon too, that's one of the series.
- 32:20Speaker 3: Yeah, it started during that time that she was in jail.
- 32:23Speaker 3: So the trial starts. How did they pick a jury,
- 32:26Speaker 3: because at this point everyone would have heard of the trial.
- 32:30Speaker 6: Yeah, well they moved the trial to New Bedford.
- 32:34Speaker 3: They We're going to take another quick moment here. Okay,
- 32:37Speaker 3: So I don't wanted to cut you off, but we
- 32:39Speaker 3: were talking with Rick McCarter. We're talking Lizzie Bordon. When
- 32:42Speaker 3: we come back, we'll find out about the makeup of
- 32:44Speaker 3: the trial and why they acquitted her, and what happened
- 32:46Speaker 3: to her afterwards she just stayed away. We'll talk about
- 32:50Speaker 3: all of that when we return. Don't go anywhere. I
- 32:53Speaker 3: am Correl and it is the Correl Show.

- 33:48Speaker 3: very very personal to me, and the video now is

- 33:53Speaker 3: want to cry all the time, but I cried the
- 33:55Speaker 3: first time. I thought. We all have somebody, whether it's
- 33:58Speaker 3: someone that's passed from age or some other thing, we
- 34:01Speaker 3: all have people that we danced with. And that's why
- 34:04Speaker 3: we dance. Stream I dance because on all services. No,
- 34:14Speaker 3: all right, there is inclement weather here in Vegas. For
- 34:16Speaker 3: those of you that listen to the show. That means
- 34:18Speaker 3: you know that miss Ember is not next to me.
- 34:20Speaker 3: So that's freaking me out. For ten and a half years,
- 34:23Speaker 3: my service dog has been next to me on every
- 34:25Speaker 3: show that I've ever done in any studio anywhere, and
- 34:29Speaker 3: she is not here at the moment, So that's freaking
- 34:30Speaker 3: me out. Rick McIntyre is my guest. He is with
- 34:33Speaker 3: the Bordon House in Fall River, Massachusetts. Go I want
- 34:37Speaker 3: to go, Let's all go. I want to go. And
- 34:40Speaker 3: Lizzie Borden of course the show Monster. She is the
- 34:43Speaker 3: next subject that Ryan Murphy is taking on. Do not
- 34:47Speaker 3: expect that show to be historically accurate, also expected to
- 34:52Speaker 3: play into the sensational. All of his shows have. I
- 34:56Speaker 3: followed the Menendez trial and a lot of what he
- 34:58Speaker 3: put in the movie was or the show the series
- 35:00Speaker 3: was a bit gray area when it came to accuracy,
- 35:05Speaker 3: which is why I wanted Rick here. So Lizzie goes
- 35:08Speaker 3: to jail. The prosecution, then, you know, takes a highly
- 35:12Speaker 3: circumstantial case because there wasn't a ton of evidence, no
- 35:16Speaker 3: bloody dress.
- 35:17Speaker 6: There was actually no physical evidence at the trial that
- 35:20Speaker 6: linked Lizzie.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Yeah, any murder, No, No, I mean they had their.
- 35:25Speaker 6: Circumstantial her ever changing answers during the first week where
- 35:32Speaker 6: it turns out that her family doctor had her on
- 35:36Speaker 6: morphine for her nerves.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Well, no wonder, Well I could do some no wonder.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Her answers were changing, and so she goes to trial.
- 35:45Speaker 3: They moved the trial so they could try to get
- 35:47Speaker 3: a fair jury, but it was hardly a jury of
- 35:51Speaker 3: her peers because at the time women could not be
- 35:53Speaker 3: on juries.
- 35:54Speaker 6: Correct, not until the early nineteen fifties in Massachusetts.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Yeah, so in the yeah, all men.
- 36:03Speaker 6: And basically there is the combination of the lack of
- 36:06Speaker 6: physical evidence, the preponderance of circumstantial evidence, and the feeling
- 36:13Speaker 6: that the the Fall River Police Force, which was largely
- 36:18Speaker 6: Irish at the time, are accused of well, actually they
- 36:24Speaker 6: did completely screw up the beginning of the investigation. Not
- 36:29Speaker 6: only have people walked all over the property and into
- 36:32Speaker 6: the house before the police seal it off, but they
- 36:36Speaker 6: don't lock the barn. You know, kids get into the barn.
- 36:41Speaker 6: It's just it's it's so bad that it forever changes
- 36:44Speaker 6: the way they investigate murders.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Afterwards, propologist to me is screaming, Yeah, there's so much.
- 36:52Speaker 6: There's so much probable doubt that the defense had to
- 36:55Speaker 6: work with on top of what we mentioned earlier, that
- 36:59Speaker 6: you know, Christine, young feminine women just didn't do murder, and.
- 37:04Speaker 3: How dare or they would do? You know? And in
- 37:06Speaker 3: truth though, women tend to poison when they killed. They
- 37:09Speaker 3: tend to.
- 37:09Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was the there was a rumor of
- 37:11Speaker 6: the involvement of poison. But it turns out everyone in
- 37:14Speaker 6: the family had food poisoning.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Oh so it's just bad cooking. Obviously the stepmom couldn't cook.
- 37:23Speaker 6: So, according to Bridget's testimony, Tuesday night before the murders,
- 37:28Speaker 6: Andrew told her some leftover swordfish looked fine to him.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Waste not, want not Now did her support her? Did
- 37:37Speaker 3: her sister?
- 37:38Speaker 6: You know, yes, Emma was quite uh you know, supportive
- 37:43Speaker 6: of Lizzie, visiting her in prison and bringing her all
- 37:47Speaker 6: manner of things she asked for. And it's really Emma's
- 37:51Speaker 6: testimony towards the end of the trial where the prosecution
- 37:55Speaker 6: just can't break her. The The point is that Lizzie
- 37:59Speaker 6: had burned to dress on the Sunday after the murders
- 38:03Speaker 6: that her friend Alice Russell saw was had dark stains
- 38:09Speaker 6: on the dress, but Lizzie will claim and Emma will
- 38:13Speaker 6: back up that it was just a paint stained dress.
- 38:16Speaker 6: The dressmaker also testifies, and Emma maintains that she's the
- 38:21Speaker 6: one that told Lizzie she should just burn the dress
- 38:24Speaker 6: because it wasn't fixable and that's how you got rid
- 38:27Speaker 6: of trash back in their day.
- 38:29Speaker 3: That is some bad advice for murder. And they're wondering
- 38:35Speaker 3: where the dress is. Don't don't burn in a dress
- 38:38Speaker 3: a week after.
- 38:39Speaker 6: That, you know, And that also brings up like how
- 38:42Speaker 6: did the police not find this dress in two different
- 38:46Speaker 6: searches of the house.
- 38:47Speaker 3: All right, well, when we come back for our little
- 38:50Speaker 3: as segment here, I want to ask about a other
- 38:52Speaker 3: thuff back you know who okay, who have been found
- 38:55Speaker 3: that could have possibly have done there and what happened
- 38:59Speaker 3: to where what when you know, was she able to
- 39:02Speaker 3: live out the rest of her life in peace or
- 39:05Speaker 3: where she tormented? Or did you get the money? Uh?

- 40:27Speaker 3: There's a musical. I saw a movie in the seventies
- 40:30Speaker 3: with Linda Montgomery Bewitched Elizabeth Montgomery. She was in one.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Christina Ricci has been in one. There's been a lot
- 40:39Speaker 3: of dramatizations about Lizzie Borden and whether she did or
- 40:44Speaker 3: did not do the crime. Rick McIntyre is with the
- 40:47Speaker 3: Lizzie bordon House in Fall River, Massachusetts, where you can stay.
- 40:50Speaker 3: You can book an evening and stay in one of
- 40:52Speaker 3: the rooms where the infant or maybe even stay in
- 40:55Speaker 3: Lizzie's room where the infamous murders occurred. So the trial happened,
- 41:01Speaker 3: and I have to say, if they had botched the
- 41:04Speaker 3: forensics today the way they did then and only had
- 41:09Speaker 3: the circumstantial evidence that they had, she probably would have
- 41:12Speaker 3: been acquitted today as well, because very iffy case.
- 41:17Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and in fact, what was the point I
- 41:22Speaker 6: wanted to make about they have no evidence.
- 41:28Speaker 3: There's well, the drefs had you know, the action. The
- 41:32Speaker 3: dress had to go somewhere. I mean, either or whoever
- 41:35Speaker 3: did the murder wasn't wearing a dress. So let's talk
- 41:37Speaker 3: about that. I had read that dad did not make
- 41:41Speaker 3: a lot of friends in business. You know that she would.
- 41:44Speaker 6: And one of the theories is that this was a
- 41:48Speaker 6: hit of sorts.
- 41:49Speaker 3: Yes.
- 41:50Speaker 6: The problem with that theory, though, is that Andrew could
- 41:53Speaker 6: have been killed a number of different places with a
- 41:56Speaker 6: whole lot less potential witnesses. So why would Abby have
- 42:01Speaker 6: been killed forty five minutes earlier? I mean, sorry, sixty
- 42:05Speaker 6: to ninety minutes earlier. The same thing with the.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Mom died first, The step mom died first.
- 42:10Speaker 6: One dies first, and I wonder.
- 42:13Speaker 3: If she was the intended victim. I know, we always
- 42:15Speaker 3: think it's Andrew.
- 42:16Speaker 6: I think she was because of the whole money issue. Yeah,
- 42:20Speaker 6: money can do a lot of things to people.
- 42:23Speaker 3: And murder is for lover of money usually always yes.
- 42:28Speaker 6: In the in the laws of the day, had Andrew
- 42:30Speaker 6: died first, Abby becomes in charge of the estate, and
- 42:34Speaker 6: Lizzy and Emma don't want to live under her roof.
- 42:38Speaker 6: There's also some question about again it was Andrew changing
- 42:42Speaker 6: his will to benefit Abby more than the sisters. You know,
- 42:47Speaker 6: these are these are theories as to what the what
- 42:50Speaker 6: could you know?
- 42:52Speaker 3: The problem business? The first would have been business. Did
- 42:55Speaker 3: someone business upas should have him killed? Second, I guess
- 42:58Speaker 3: there was either an uncle or a drifter or someone
- 43:01Speaker 3: else in town.
- 43:02Speaker 6: Well, there was an uncle who surprises the family by
- 43:06Speaker 6: coming into town the day before the murder, but he
- 43:08Speaker 6: and Andrew are friends and do business together, so it's
- 43:12Speaker 6: conceivable that Uncle John is just stopping by. He's done
- 43:15Speaker 6: it earlier in the summer. Again, he's an interesting character
- 43:21Speaker 6: that many people want to be the killer, but he's
- 43:24Speaker 6: nowhere near the property with witnesses at the time of
- 43:27Speaker 6: the two murders. But other people think that that is
- 43:30Speaker 6: very specifically arranged because the uncle has a history in
- 43:36Speaker 6: the well years earlier had worked as a butcher. Oh,
- 43:41Speaker 6: John knows his way around axes and hatchets, so one
- 43:45Speaker 6: of the theories is that he and Lizzie hired the killer.
- 43:51Speaker 6: Then there is also Emma, who was out of town
- 43:55Speaker 6: visiting friends. But many people think that maybe Emma was
- 43:59Speaker 6: involved in planning it all and that's why she's out
- 44:03Speaker 6: of town when it happens.
- 44:05Speaker 3: Give herself an ally.
- 44:07Speaker 6: Yeah, in the ytail, I think that.
- 44:10Speaker 3: The nursery rhyme is wrong. Correct. There wasn't forty and
- 44:13Speaker 3: then forty one. No, they weren't stabbed forty one times.
- 44:18Speaker 6: No, they she didn't also didn't use an axe. It
- 44:22Speaker 6: was a hatchet. Do you know there's actually a second
- 44:25Speaker 6: verse to that poem. No, it's not well known. It goes,
- 44:29Speaker 6: Andrew Borden now is dead. Lizzie hit him in the
- 44:33Speaker 6: head up in heaven. He will sing from the gallows
- 44:37Speaker 6: she will swing. Oh but the poem is full of inaccuracies.
- 44:43Speaker 3: So how many times were they? Do we know? Like?
- 44:46Speaker 3: How many times were Yep?
- 44:49Speaker 6: With Andrew it was ten to eleven, and with Abby
- 44:53Speaker 6: seventeen to nineteen.
- 44:55Speaker 3: Well, I got to tell you I know enough about murders.
- 44:58Speaker 3: You know, I took Everyone knows that watches my show
- 45:01Speaker 3: knows that I watch all the TV shows. Yeah, that's
- 45:05Speaker 3: a crime of passion, in other words, somebody was upset
- 45:10Speaker 3: at those. First of all, stabbing is a very personal
- 45:16Speaker 3: way to kill somebody. Stabbing or hatcheting, it's a very
- 45:21Speaker 3: personal way to kill somebody. Second of all, they were
- 45:26Speaker 3: probably dead somewhere around hatchet number five or six.
- 45:30Speaker 6: Uh, and Andrew probably the first blow.
- 45:33Speaker 3: Right, and so the others were were anger, you know,
- 45:36Speaker 3: the others were anger.
- 45:39Speaker 6: The person was Psychology links Andrew's murder to the possible
- 45:46Speaker 6: incest theory that that Ryan Murphy may play with as well.
- 45:51Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure and uh, but not to Lizzy. Right
- 45:57Speaker 3: to Emma.
- 45:58Speaker 6: No, it's believe to be with Lizzie.
- 46:01Speaker 3: Ah, okay, okay, But now she goes to trial. They
- 46:06Speaker 3: don't prove their case. These twelve men see the petite
- 46:08Speaker 3: woman and their sexiste and say, nah, she can't come
- 46:11Speaker 3: at a murder ah, and so they let her out.
- 46:14Speaker 3: What what happened? Do her and Emma get the money?
- 46:19Speaker 6: Yeah? Her, well, Emma inherited the money after the death
- 46:22Speaker 6: certificates were signed, okay, because she was the next in line,
- 46:28Speaker 6: and about seven months after the trial, she splits it
- 46:33Speaker 6: in half with Lizzie and also paid the legal fees
- 46:38Speaker 6: uh for a star lawyer, a Johnny Cochrane kind of
- 46:42Speaker 6: diet by the name of George Robinson who was a
- 46:49Speaker 6: previously the governor of Massachusetts and a really really sharp
- 46:53Speaker 6: trial lawyer. And suppose it said that she paid him
- 46:59Speaker 6: twenty five thousand dollars, which would.
- 47:01Speaker 3: Be about and that's like a million dollars, yeah.
- 47:06Speaker 6: A million?
- 47:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 47:07Speaker 4: Oh.
- 47:07Speaker 6: The thing they wanted to say about Andrew and the
- 47:10Speaker 6: incest theory is that striking somebody in the face is very,
- 47:15Speaker 6: very personal, and psychologists today often point out that when
- 47:22Speaker 6: abused people finally snap and fight back, that going for
- 47:28Speaker 6: the face or the eyes of the oppressor is a very.
- 47:35Speaker 3: To obliterate them. They want to obliterate them, and so
- 47:38Speaker 3: the face is what they deem as the way to
- 47:41Speaker 3: obliterate them, to like wipe their existence away. So did
- 47:45Speaker 3: she stay in forever rather defiant Lizzie Borden Or did
- 47:49Speaker 3: she they talk about.
- 47:51Speaker 6: He No, they stayed in the house only for a
- 47:54Speaker 6: few months before they bought the house up on the
- 47:58Speaker 6: hill which is still there at three to six French Street.
- 48:03Speaker 3: They could have gone anywhere, I mean they they were wealthy.
- 48:05Speaker 3: They could have.
- 48:06Speaker 6: Wondered why she didn't, but she said, I didn't do it,
- 48:10Speaker 6: and Fall River is my home. I have a right
- 48:13Speaker 6: to stay here.
- 48:14Speaker 3: So defiant, Yeah, yep.
- 48:18Speaker 6: Lizzie was quite considered a bit progressive and mouthy, mostly
- 48:23Speaker 6: because she was a woman who gave her opinion rather
- 48:25Speaker 6: than you know, repressed it.
- 48:28Speaker 3: No wonder they vilified her as a lesbian that right exactly. Yeah,
- 48:33Speaker 3: was frowned upon or thought to be a dyke or
- 48:35Speaker 3: whatever because they were a strong album.
- 48:36Speaker 6: Even though she is found not guilty. Every year on
- 48:41Speaker 6: August fourth, the newspapers reprint the story. Lizzie and Emma
- 48:46Speaker 6: have to deal with crowds of people outside who are
- 48:49Speaker 6: either chanting the Lizzie board and poem or begging Lizzie
- 48:52Speaker 6: to come out and give her side of the story.
- 48:55Speaker 6: So she was really you know.
- 48:59Speaker 3: She never closer, did she? Did?
- 49:01Speaker 6: She a little bit?
- 49:02Speaker 3: I mean, I know she turned to animals, and probably
- 49:05Speaker 3: because she didn't judge her you know, she animals judge.
- 49:09Speaker 6: Friends that didn't judge her and didn't bow to the
- 49:12Speaker 6: societal pressure of oh, your friends with Lizzie Borden, you
- 49:17Speaker 6: know which many people like after the trial move away
- 49:21Speaker 6: from Lizzie.
- 49:22Speaker 3: Oh no, and I would have been bff. We would have.
- 49:24Speaker 3: I would have I would have been her best girlfriend.
- 49:27Speaker 3: You know.
- 49:27Speaker 6: Yeah, there would have been there were There were people
- 49:29Speaker 6: who remained faithful to her and her Her staff loved her.
- 49:36Speaker 6: She paid their medical benefits and paid them a very
- 49:41Speaker 6: nice wage, and doated on their children.
- 49:44Speaker 3: Now, who first Emma or Lizzy Sagan? Who died first
- 49:49Speaker 3: Emma or Lizzy.
- 49:51Speaker 6: Lizzie by nine days?
- 49:53Speaker 3: Oh wow, within ten days of each other.
- 49:56Speaker 6: Yeah, what's interesting is you know they're born nine years
- 49:59Speaker 6: apart and died nine days apart.
- 50:01Speaker 3: Wow, that's a bond right there. Yeah, that's a very
- 50:05Speaker 3: strong But what did Lizzy Bordon die of?
- 50:08Speaker 6: She had pneumonia after a gallbladder operation. Well, and Emma
- 50:16Speaker 6: was suffering from kidney failure.
- 50:18Speaker 3: And how old was Lizzie Bordon when she died?
- 50:21Speaker 6: I believe she was sixty six sixty seven for that
- 50:26Speaker 6: another ironically.
- 50:27Speaker 3: Yeah, for that time, she lived a decent you know life.
- 50:30Speaker 3: Yeah not.
- 50:33Speaker 6: She She doated on animals and helped found the Animal
- 50:40Speaker 6: Rescue League of Fall River. She and Emma left them
- 50:45Speaker 6: enough money in their respective wills that they're still in
- 50:48Speaker 6: business today. Is the Facts and Animal Care and Adoption Center.
- 50:52Speaker 3: That's incredible. Let me ask you know that. And Rick
- 50:55Speaker 3: is my guest, Rick McIntyre, and he's with the Lizzie
- 50:58Speaker 3: boardon house in Fall River. You can stay. Let me
- 51:01Speaker 3: ask you this knowing everything you know and you know
- 51:06Speaker 3: you're there, you're in the house, you know the history.
- 51:09Speaker 3: In your opinion, did Lizzy do it?
- 51:14Speaker 6: You know a lot of people will waffle on this answer,
- 51:16Speaker 6: but I'm going to give you a definitive maybe. I mean,
- 51:23Speaker 6: there are scenarios in which she could do it, and
- 51:26Speaker 6: maybe Bridget is the lookout. There are scenarios where Lizzie
- 51:31Speaker 6: lets the person into the house that is the hired
- 51:35Speaker 6: killer ruse.
- 51:36Speaker 3: She might not have done it, but she might have
- 51:38Speaker 3: been involved in it.
- 51:40Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's what also people think about Bridget.
- 51:44Speaker 3: You know, that's the theory that I'm going to go
- 51:46Speaker 3: with because I'll tell you this, I never thought she
- 51:49Speaker 3: did it. I never thought she did it for a
- 51:50Speaker 3: lot of reasons. The physicality of it, the lack of
- 51:53Speaker 3: the dress. She would have been covered with blood. It
- 51:55Speaker 3: would have been hard to get all that off in
- 51:56Speaker 3: twenty minutes, out of her hair and everything. I always thought,
- 52:01Speaker 3: whoever did it fled, you know, got out of there.
- 52:04Speaker 3: But they couldn't have gotten out of there unnoticed.
- 52:07Speaker 6: So well, here's the thing. There was only one person,
- 52:12Speaker 6: this woman who said she was in her kitchen and
- 52:15Speaker 6: she could see the boarden's backyard before and after Andrew
- 52:19Speaker 6: was killed, and that nobody entered or left the house
- 52:22Speaker 6: that way. But when the police go to her kitchen,
- 52:25Speaker 6: they realized she didn't have line of sight full line
- 52:29Speaker 6: of sight on the backyard. So one of the you know,
- 52:33Speaker 6: reasonable doubts is that the killer goes out the basement
- 52:38Speaker 6: door and over the back fence to get away, which
- 52:42Speaker 6: we now know that's the only door that seems to
- 52:44Speaker 6: not have been observable from the busy street.
- 52:50Speaker 3: Yeah he was if this is a big fl could
- 52:53Speaker 3: really have her if he was committing in fath particularly
- 52:58Speaker 3: against Livy and Amma found out. Emma would be horrified, obviously,
- 53:02Speaker 3: she you have her closest sister.
- 53:05Speaker 6: She contacts dear uncle John.
- 53:07Speaker 3: We do something and then yeah, exactly. So that's a
- 53:14Speaker 3: very plausible because again, murders occur for love, revenge, money,
- 53:20Speaker 3: you know that, and so, and this happens all of
- 53:23Speaker 3: those uh you know, wrap up them, you know, inside
- 53:26Speaker 3: of it. It. Let me we only have about a
- 53:28Speaker 3: minute and a half here, but let me ask you,
- 53:30Speaker 3: why do you think this still intrigues us so much?
- 53:33Speaker 3: I mean, they're spending millions on the TV show. Is
- 53:36Speaker 3: it because it's unsolved or is it because it's a woman.
- 53:40Speaker 6: Because it's unsolved because it has so many interesting, slash
- 53:45Speaker 6: lurid possible ways of looking at the crime. Because it
- 53:50Speaker 6: was a strong woman. I mean, there's there's a lot
- 53:54Speaker 6: of young women who kind of treat this. He is
- 53:58Speaker 6: an anti hero. And you know, I've seen so many
- 54:01Speaker 6: nine to twelve year olds with their photos of this.
- 54:05Speaker 6: I was Lizzy this Halloween, you know, and and they
- 54:10Speaker 6: have been looking forward coming to the house and Lizzie
- 54:13Speaker 6: is their hero.
- 54:14Speaker 3: And you know, well, one hundred plus years later, we
- 54:18Speaker 3: are still talking about her. And now the house, the
- 54:20Speaker 3: actual murder house. Let me ask you if the house
- 54:23Speaker 3: booked out, like do people? You know, do a lot
- 54:26Speaker 3: of people want to stay there.
- 54:28Speaker 6: It gets busy between the anniversary and Halloween, but there
- 54:31Speaker 6: is still nights where there might be a room available.
- 54:34Speaker 6: So if you go to the website lizzydashboarding dot com,
- 54:38Speaker 6: you can find out about room availability, the different tours
- 54:41Speaker 6: and events that.
- 54:42Speaker 3: We I'm coming and when I'm coming. Rick, we have
- 54:44Speaker 3: to get together and talk more because I just love
- 54:47Speaker 3: the case and I love I love they the mystery
- 54:51Speaker 3: around it, and I still don't think she did it.
- 54:53Speaker 3: She might have planned it, might have been involved, but
- 54:56Speaker 3: I don't think she did it. All right, Rick McIntyre,
- 54:58Speaker 3: it's been my guest. He's the long fun his three
- 55:00Speaker 3: expert at the boarding house. Thank you so much for drinking.
- 55:03Speaker 3: By the way, I know we have we only have
- 55:05Speaker 3: ten seconds. But don't praise when you watch the show,
- 55:08Speaker 3: because you know what Holly would and they're not going
- 55:09Speaker 3: to get it right.
- 55:11Speaker 6: We always treat it as alternate universe exactly.
- 55:15Speaker 3: That's what it's gonna be. I have coral. We will
- 55:17Speaker 3: finish up right.
- 55:20Speaker 1: SMA.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Smat.
- 55:46Speaker 3: Now, remember the word is f u n K funk honey,
- 55:51Speaker 3: do you want to funk? All right, we are back.
- 56:08Speaker 3: I didn't even know, like, oh my goodness, we're back.
- 56:13Speaker 3: I was so involved in the interview that I didn't
- 56:20Speaker 3: really know we were back. But we are. And I
- 56:23Speaker 3: love that. I love the interview, I love the story,
- 56:26Speaker 3: I love Lizzie. I love it all because I do
- 56:30Speaker 3: love true crime and watching true crime. I don't think
- 56:34Speaker 3: Lizzie Borden did it. I don't. That's a hill I'll
- 56:38Speaker 3: die on. I don't think she did it. I think
- 56:41Speaker 3: that I believe that there were others. I think she
- 56:46Speaker 3: knows or knew who did it. I think she either
- 56:49Speaker 3: let them in or saw them do it, whatever it
- 56:53Speaker 3: might be. But I will say this, it was personal.
- 56:56Speaker 3: You don't hatchet somebody seventeen times. And the dad, as
- 57:00Speaker 3: you heard, was hid in the face and when someone
- 57:03Speaker 3: is sexually abused or sexually molested, or when someone kills
- 57:08Speaker 3: a child predator or you know, something like that, they
- 57:12Speaker 3: go for the face. They try to obliterate, you know,
- 57:17Speaker 3: wipe them out of existence. And I think that's what's happened.
- 57:22Speaker 3: All right, Tomorrow we will do this Gay Week with
- 57:25Speaker 3: Scott Jacobson from Ukraine, and then of course Monday or Tuesday,
- 57:31Speaker 3: I think we're going to talk influencers and whether their
- 57:33Speaker 3: era is over. People are saying that because a Democrat
- 57:40Speaker 3: socialist one in Florida that now there is no chance
- 57:46Speaker 3: that a Republican will be unseated in Florida. I say
- 57:51Speaker 3: all bets are off for the midterms. I think people
- 57:54Speaker 3: are pissed. I think they're angry. I think nothing is
- 57:59Speaker 3: going to change and of the war, except it might
- 58:01Speaker 3: get worse by the midterms. And so I really truly
- 58:06Speaker 3: believe that in areas where Democrats maybe weren't going to win,
- 58:14Speaker 3: or in areas where Democrats you know, aren't typically seen
- 58:18Speaker 3: as contenders, I think we're gonna be changing. I think
- 58:23Speaker 3: that people are fed up and Trump has turned into
- 58:29Speaker 3: a joke. I mean, only only people that truly drank
- 58:36Speaker 3: the kool aid still follow him. I mean, in this
- 58:40Speaker 3: what is this? What's her name? Natalie something? This story
- 58:43Speaker 3: is getting weirder and weirder and weirder and weirder. Now
- 58:47Speaker 3: we find out that she literally slept in a locker
- 58:50Speaker 3: room at his Bedford place to be close to him. Now,
- 58:55Speaker 3: today a note came out that she wrote to him
- 58:59Speaker 3: and said, like you're my life, You're my everything. I
- 59:02Speaker 3: always want things between us to be perfect. This would
- 59:06Speaker 3: take down any other president, but you know, for him,
- 59:10Speaker 3: it's just no par for the course. But this woman
- 59:13Speaker 3: is strange, and she has the ear of the president.
- 59:17Speaker 3: She's traveling with him, and she is bizarre. She got
- 59:21Speaker 3: into the trunk of an suv to be near him
- 59:26Speaker 3: and to be at his trial. I mean, she's touched
- 59:30Speaker 3: by an angel. People. She is not right in the head,
- 59:35Speaker 3: of course, how could you be? You know you worship
- 59:37Speaker 3: this guy. She carries a printer. Did you hear this story?
- 59:41Speaker 3: So she printed out a story that said prescription drug
- 59:44Speaker 3: prices are at an all time love. She gives it
- 59:47Speaker 3: to Donald Trump. He goes in front of the media,
- 59:49Speaker 3: holds it up. Look what I've done. Prescription prices are fabulous?
- 59:54Speaker 3: I told you this would happen. She never read the story.
- 59:58Speaker 3: In the story, it says that, and it's because of
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: Joe Biden and what Joe Biden did in twenty twenty two.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: That's the reason prescription drug prices are out in all
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: time low. Not anything Donald Trump has done, but something
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: that Joe Biden did. This, you know, we're talking about
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Lizzie Borden and weird situations and the like. At least
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Lizzie loved animals and spent the rest of her life
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: denying she killed her family, not cowering away, living in
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: Fall River in a big house on the hill, and
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: the animal welfare agency that she started still exists today.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: She didn't just run around sucking up to a president.
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: I mean this, These people are weird. They are just weird.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: And so yeah, that's this woman is weird. And now
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: the media in general is writing about her and all
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: the weird things that she's done. You know, she's done
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: a lot of weird stuff. Speaking of weird, so the
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: bodies that the mob threw into our lake here Lake Mead,
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: they're washing up because the lake is practically gone, and
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: they just found human remains, jaw and torso bones on
