We all know the age old nursery rhyme "Lizzi Borden took an Axe--Gave her Mother 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done, gave her father 41."    But is the rhyme true? Did Lizzi Borden brutally murder her father and step mother?  Or was there another suspect involved? What was the motive for murder? Was Lizzie greedy for the family money... or did she have a torrid love affair she was trying to hide?    Listen in to our deep dive on all things Borden!
