On this first syndicated episode of the 1930s series Unsolved Mysteries, we take a look at the mysterious slaying of Andrew Borden and his second wife Abby in 1892 and how suspicion fell on Andrew's daughter, Lizzie. Unsolved Mysteries not only explains the case in a nutshell but also offers a solution to the crime.
While Unsolved Mysteries was a syndicated True Crime series in the 1930s. It didn't start out that way. We take a look at the series' origin and the original program's sponsorship by Ken-Rad, a Kentucky-based firm selling radio tubes.
The series originated from station WLW in Cincinnati and we talk about the station's forgotten role in the Golden Age of Radio as America's superstation and why it was called that.
