Lizzie Borden Society Forum

Hi everyone:

I miss talking about this case! I've spent the past weekend binge-reading the old-old archives (way back from 2003) and it was wonderful to see the banter going back and forth about the details of the case, and different members theories about timing, etc.

Would anyone be interested in reviving some of these older discussions?

I know it's the same ground that has been covered before, but a fresh perspective, even with the same folks, might be thought provoking and fun!

I would really enjoy this; I'm about to make another visit to the 92 Second Street and I want to be able to re-trace my steps so that I 'relive' Lizzie's movements on that fateful day.

Anyone up for it?

Hi Nancy.

Yes, I am up for reviving some of the older discussions. I have also been reading through the old archives. I am assuming that the link you use for the archives is this one: http://tinyurl.com/pmdjkbr

I think our thoughts change over time, as we study this case; I know mine have! I think it would be interesting to see what our current members think and speculate about the Borden case.

Which topic would you like to discuss first?

BTW, I think the forum may have been quiet lately because of the Thanksgiving holiday, and now people are busy Christmas shopping, decorating, sending out Christmas cards, etc. Of course I could be wrong, but seems we go through our up and down periods at times.

Who knows what fresh eyes can bring so I would like to see old topics revived. It seems there isn't anything that hasn't been discussed with this case. I was glad to see the archives accessible again.

Now if we could see those Robinson papers. . .

Hi patsy~! Thanks for replying to me. I know, I know, I really am itching to know what is in the Robinson papers. I also wonder if anyone has transcribed the notes before the paper turns to dust. I dearly hope so.

Here's a simple question that has always bugged me, and I'd love to know your opinion (and anyone else who cares to chime in): Abby was last seen by Lizzie and Bridget at about 9:00. We assume Abby was killed after that, after she went upstairs to the guest room (where Morse had spent the previous evening.)

My question concerns Abby's movements right before she was killed, AND after: Do you think Abby was up there putting shams on the pillows of the bed, or was she sewing? Was she standing, kneeling, or sitting when she was struck with the first blow? Did she crash to the floor or slowly crumple...

Thanks!!
