Borden was tried and acquitted of the ax murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Mass., on Aug. 4, 1892. It was alleged that Borden tried to buy poison the day before their deaths. The crime’s sensational nature attracted national attention. According to historians, Borden was acquitted at trial because no blood was found on her and she had a “well-bred Christian” persona.
Eberly has visited the Borden home and taken part in events held at the residence in order to “understand Lizzie honestly” and to try to crack the case. One of the events was a paranormal investigation with professional investigators Brain Cano and Chris Mancuso. Her book, Inadmissible,” depicts Borden and other women who have been involved in murder cases through the years.
