Last night I was thinking again about the Lizzie Borden murder case and something hit me...HOW did the murders happen and nobody knew it? Of course you could apply this to any other murder at probably any other point in history, but this is 1892, no TVs, no radios, nothing that I know of to block out the sound of somebody screaming, and I'm guessing houses back then were not made very soundproof, especially the cheaper kinds of ones like the Bordens lived in...now Andrew Borden was supposedly asleep when he got killed, but what about the stepmother? Abby Borden was found on the floor butchered, she had been cleaning up the room, I doubt she was asleep when she got hers as well...didn't she scream? Wouldn't anybody have heard it who was in the vicinity? Especially the maid who was a floor above it? Now, I suppose the first whack could've done the trick and killed her instantly, but considering she was hit 18 times, I wonder.
How about everyone else? What are some of the odder questions that pass through your mind?
