An Interesting thought: What if Abby Borden Killed Andrew first?
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2024 1:55 am
Hello Everyone!
Posting here after a long time. However, I got back into the Borden Murder theories again, and never have I come across a theory which claims Abby Borden killed Andrew Borden. I personally think it is just a thought to be entertained. But following are the reasons:
1. Motivation: Tensions in house makes her financially insecure. She knows if he dies first, she would be left on the streets. So he has to go.
2. Opportunity: Abby Borden is alive and she is mingling with Lizzie & Bridget all this time. As Bridget heads upstairs and Lizzie heads out to the barn, Abby takes the opportunity to Kill Andrew with passion.
3. Abby gets caught: Abby is caught by Lizzie. Lizzie in rage, chases Abby upstairs and kills her even more passionately with a hatchet.
It becomes important for Lizzie that much more time has passed before Abby's body is discovered. If it is established that Abby died prior to Andrew, Andrew's wealth would flow down to his daughters.
Again, not a theory that I see happening. But I have never read anything which considers Abby to be the murderer. This theory pushes out various suspicious activities that have taken place at their home:
1. Stealing of Abby's property and some wealth. Maybe her way of separating off her wealth and keeping it at a safe place for her better future.
2. Murderer hiding for 90 mins in the house.
I would appreciate feedback.
