Motherhood is Murder

Welcome to Motherhood is Murder, a podcast where we explore criminal cases and the lessons we can learn from them. I am your host, Valerie Kacian. I am a mom of three who has been on the quest to understand the criminal mind for longer than I can remember. I have noticed that behind each crime there is not only a story that can be told, but something to be learned. This podcast is designed to provide you with both. Each Tuesday, we will discuss a case, as well as steps that can be taken to build awareness surrounding the issues presented in the case.

Ep 24: Lizzie Borden & the Court of Public Opinion

August 22, 2023 • Valerie Kacian • Episode 24

This week I will cover one of New England's most notorious historical cases. The horrific axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden stunned the mill town of Fall River. Immediately investigators had their eye on one suspect, the Borden's youngest daughter Lizzie. Was Lizzie capable of committing the crime? And if not, who was? Join me for a journey back to the 1890's as we discuss Victorian customs, the bloody murder, and how a community responded.
