Lizzie Borden Society Forum

Well, the opportunist and grave robber James Starrs is at it again. Check out mondo.

You don't need to rob the dead of money to be a grave thief. Digging up the deceased can rob them of their dignity, humanity, repose and peace if done for no reason but to satisfy reckless inquisitiveness and a desire to further one's twisted and distorted reputation.

Let the dead rest.

Unless there is proof that may indict or convict someone still living for a crime or murder, digging up a grave such as Houdini's or the Borden's proves nothing at all except to delight the invaders contorted curiosity.

Mr. Starrs let the dead rest in peace. Have some respect.

I kind of read this link but did not see Prof. Starrs name anywhere.
Am I missing something?

I will go to Mondo Lizzie now.

I figured it out!
I see the link is really from the Topc Area "Fall River and Its Environs."

Very interesting in that context and fascinating discussion there MB thanks!

The link to Houdini and Starrs on Mondo is:

[Edited for spelling]

SORRY EVERYONE. AN ERROR WAS MADE WHEN I INCLUDED A LINK IN MY POSTING ABOVE. THE CORRECT LINK HAS BEEN INCLUDED. THE SITE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR MONDO.

Sorry Kat, thanks for the correction.

I think it's neat you watch MondoLizzie and remind us what's new there! Thank you for that!

I was just doing a little detectiving...that's all...

At least you know I'm paying attention!

I agree with mbhenty on this one. These stunts r for sensationalism and to appease a morbid curiousity.

Old geezers read this in a newspaper. Starrs wanted to look into this.
This should be rejected because after 80 years there can be no investigation or court case to solve any possible crime.
Idle curiosity is not reason enough to do this. In fact, not my opinion.

The story was just on my local FOX News!
Gee "Jimmy" sure gets around!

True Kat..........but mondo beat Fox at putting out the news.

Thanks for the heads-up, Michael, interesting article. Though I don't think much will come from any new findings with Houdini's death, it will still be something to hear of their findings.

Theres also a wonderful set of videos on MondoLizzie of a play called Lizzie's Tempest. The actress who portrays Bridget/Maggie is wonderful!
