A wealthy home. Two brutal murders. One woman at the center of it all.

In Episode 3 of Season 2 of Legacy Files, we travel back to Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892, where Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally murdered inside their own home.

Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was accused of the killings and became one of the most infamous figures in American criminal history. But beneath the sensational headlines was a family divided by money, property, resentment, and inheritance.

What happened inside the Borden household? Why was Lizzie suspected? And if she was responsible, what could have driven a daughter to allegedly turn against her own family?

The evidence would lead to a shocking trial, a not-guilty verdict, and a mystery that has survived for more than a century.

One house. One family. One deadly morning.
