Does anyone know if the River Falls police department saved any evidence? It would be so cool to do some scientific testing on them. I know the police to save evidence on an occasion. Just curious about this. :eggface:

There might be some information about that here

http://www.rfcity.org/

I don't think so. I think anything that still exists from the trial is in the hands of the Fall River Historical Society, lost or private individuals have stuff.

The sofa Andrew died on was redone. The 'girls' stored most of the furniture from the house on Second Street in a warehouse that caught fire.

The FR Police Department caught a lot of flack a few years ago when they got rid of their old photos of early policemen.

River Falls ? It reminds me of a play I was in called "Rindercella".

Tracy...

and a strange, myopic fog suddenly engulfed the house of borden. -- Eugene A. Poe

Oh...River Falls, Wisconsin ?


Tracy...

Is that near Frostbite Falls?



In my fictional "Report From Potter's Point" column, the neighboring city is called Hope Falls. There's the Hope Fall Community College, the Mall of Hope Falls and the Hope Falls Daily-Crier

(Actually, Hope was once the name of Fall River.)

Eugene, it's now spelled "Bordon."

That warehouse caught fire? Or was it a hurricane?

E-bay was selling something a while back- a memory book? And it was written inside, "River Falls."

I have wandered what happened to that warehouse too...

Thanks for the "Rindercella" story Tracy, my daughter got a big kick out of that. I had to run a copy off for her.

There are various versions of that story around...some more adult-oriented...some so funny you have to cross your legs to read it.

Hmmm...

Bizzie Lorden ook a taxe,

When she daw what she dad hone,

I recall we had discussed this in the past, there was some article or a snippet from an author about the furniture in the warehouse being washed away by a hurricane. And I seem to recall that we couldn't find a hurricane for the time period. Did a quick search through my books, even Lincoln and couldn't find it. Have to go dig through the archives and see if I can find the thread.

Augusta should find the fire instead of you finding the hurricane.
Do you remember the memory book?

Well, I did find it, you know us lioness' and the thrill of the hunt!

Kat! I have found the correct link on the links pages! Its on page 3 and is titled: B&B Opening 1986. Heres what is reported on that site:

None of the original furnishings is in the house; after the murders, Lizzie(who was ultimately acquitted in a jury trial) put the family possesions in storage in a waterfront warehouse, where all were destroyed when a hurricane tidal wave flooded the building. She had taken with her only her sewing machine and her writing desk and chair. The fate of those items is a mystery.

Heres the link to the thread, boy, I miss Edisto!

Memory book? No, I honestly don't have any "memory" of it.

Well, Augusta is a lioness as well!
Well done- good find! Harry & I and Stef all miss Edisto-YES!

Here is "The Memory Book." It's was on E-bay.
River Falls, Indeed...

I've never seen that before! Thanks for the laugh, Kat! Honestly, River Falls...Mother Abby and the bad attempt at making an antique letter, the lengths some people will go to!
