Speculation - The Case Against Bridget Sullivan

[camgarsky4]

We think a series of threads that encourage stretching the facts (not changing them) to see if we can build a case against some of the other key characters in this crime drama. Bridget, Morse, Emma and so on.

For any viewers out there...know that, as with many folks, we view Lizzie as the clear primary suspect for these murders. That said, we think it will be fun to poke and prod on some other potential suspects. Maybe we'll come up with something interesting!

Primary reason to suspect:
Bridget and Lizzie were the only two persons known to have been on the Borden property at the time of both murders.

Secondary reason to suspect:
Bridget & Morse contradict each other as to when Abby gave Bridget the instruction to wash the exterior windows.
Adelaide Churchill testified that she thought she heard Bridget corroborate Lizzie's claim that Abby had received a note from sick friend.

Motive:
This is a tougher question to answer. Speculation might suggest that she was an accomplice of another party (ex. Lizzie, Emma or Morse) and received monetary reward. She did sail back to Ireland in 1895.
Author, Radin, proposes a motive of anger and retribution for Abby telling her to wash the windows on a hot day. Andrew was killed because he knew that Abby had told Bridget to wash the windows.
