A Journalist’s Take on the Lizzie Borden Story

Dan Medeiros of the Herald News is out today with a news article/feature on the Lizzie Borden story.

You can read it here.

I think the best thing about this piece is that it is so fair and balanced. There is no snark. No sideways glances at the ghosthunters or true crime enthusiasts. Everyone is welcomed.

I find it rare in reporting on the case when an even-handed approach is used. Case in point, the recent Smithsonian article that was not only judgmental but built on the conflicting personalities of those who are studying the case. Like, who cares?

Medeiros has done a really find job with a rather difficult subject (getting the facts right is half the stuggle).

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
