In this episode of The Femme Fatal, we step into one of the most infamous crime scenes in American history. Lizzie Borden was tried and acquitted in the brutal 1892 murders of her father and stepmother, but public suspicion never left her. We dig into the family tensions, the strange timeline, the theories that still linger, and how Lizzie transformed from a real woman into a dark American legend. Then we get into the pop culture, the myths, and the astrological symbolism behind the woman forever linked to an axe.

We walk through the timeline of the crime, the investigation, and the courtroom proceedings that made the case a national media spectacle. The story later inspired films, television portrayals, and ongoing debate about manipulation, influence, and responsibility. As always, we close the episode with an astrological look at Pamela Smart’s chart and the personality dynamics reflected in it.
