Her Uncle Helped Her
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2017 10:51 am
I have always been fascinated by the Borden murders, even when I was naive enough to believe Miss Borden was innocent.
After countless books read on the subject, I believe that her Uncle helped her and that she purposefully sent her sister away to provide an alibi for her.
I think Andrew Borden may well have been the most insufferable bore, but Lizzie hung in there, biding time until he died. She had sacrificed ever having a family of her own, and when she discovered that Andrew had planned a change in the will to include his second wife more generously I believe she had enough.
I have read that Mr. Borden kept his bedroom locked but conspicuously hung the keys right beside the door. Was there a small theft of some sort? I don't know. But I do know Lizzie's father was a real jerk of a skinflint.
I believe that the Uncle was persuaded to assist Lizzie and that she killed her stepmother first, and with all of the pent up rage one would expect. I think she was already finished when her Uncle administered the fatal blow to Andrew, but I believe Lizzie did the majority of the wet work.
The sinkers she claimed she made to account for burning her dress were just that-a claim.
This is the only timeline that I can imagine that would keep Lizzie in view of the housekeeper enough to provide cover-but still give them time to finish the job, so to speak.
