A younger girl from Falls Church Massachusets was accused of killing her step-mom and father with a hatchet. Lizzie was he only one then accused because of the fact that her sister Emma was away and her and the maid were the only ones in the house. She was said to not be the killer, but I am not so sure.

Is Lizzie Borden guilty or innocent, of the crimes she was accused.

According to , a nurse who treated Lizzie said that Lizzie had confessed that her boyfriend committed the murders because her father disapproved of the match. The boyfriend's identity remains a mystery.

Others have suggested that Lizzie and Bridget, the Bordens' maid, conspired to commit the murders together, either because of a romantic relationship between the pair or a mutual dislike of the older Bordens. Bridget appeared to know or at least suspect that Lizzie's stepmother was dead before the discovery of the body, as she refused to go upstairs to Mrs. Borden's bedroom to tell her about Mr. Borden's death. When a neighbor went to get a sheet to cover Mr. Borden's body, Bridget reportedly said, "we'll need two," even though Mrs. Borden's body had not yet been found (per The Straight Dope, in 2001).

Other family members could have committed the crimes. In his 1992 book Lizzie Borden: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter, author Arnold Brown suggested that Lizzie had an illegitimate and "mentally defective" brother who committed the crimes. Brown theorized that Lizzie had covered up for her half-sibling to conceal his existence.

Lastly, Lizzie's uncle, John V. Morse, may have been the culprit, according to the book Cold Case to Case Closed. Morse had been staying with the family but was dismissed as a suspect because of an alibi that was later disproved. Moreover, the uncle was a butcher who always carried a cleaver, which is coincidentally a very handy murder weapon.

The Bizarre Theories Surrounding Lizzie Borden's Alleged Murders - Grunge

Almost 100 years after her death, Lizzie Borden remains an object of fascination -- not for what she did, but for what a jury said she didn't do in 1892.

Evidence to back up my theory that Lizzie Borden killed her parents for the inheritance is she very clearly stated many times that she wanted a better life living on the hill with her sister.

Lizzie also did not like how cheap her father was and wished for a better life because they did not have much in their life even though they were rich.

Another theory that is a possibility of something that could have happened would be that the uncle could have killed them.

Honestly she stated multiple times just how much she wanted more money and such and then these murders happened so it is just that obvious.

I believe that Lizzie Borden did kill her parents for the inheritance.

This is not possible because of the fact that many sources have clearly stated that it was just Lizzie and the maid in the house at the time of the murder. There were also no signs of a break in.

During this I learned that many women were "not able" to commit murder at this time and that is why they just turned Lizzie out with out any thought of her having done the crime.
