CaitlinHOST
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the True Crime with Caitlin podcast.
CaitlinHOST
I'm your host, Caitlin, and today I'm going to take you through one of the most infamous, technically unsolved true crime cases, the case of Lizzie Borden.
CaitlinHOST
Like so many other people, I have seen the trailer for the upcoming Netflix series, and I know when I see something coming up, I like to go and do all of me own research before watching it.
CaitlinHOST
What began as me trying to re-familiarize meself with the case before a series turned into me becoming fixated and has left us with the question on everyone's mind, one that I think I know the answer to: did she do it? Did Lizzie Borden viciously murder her parents? This is the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden.
Tony BruschiHOST
on.Uh, uh, let's, let's try and, and define the line here between theory, which exists in many cases, and, and defamation.
Tony BruschiHOST
Uh, a lot of creators protect themselves by throwing in phrases like, "In my opinion," and, "It's just a theory." I mean, legally, where is the line drawn where, where a true crime, you know, hot take crosses over into financially r- you know, ruinous defamation with what's being said online?
Eric FaddisGUEST
It's, uh, it, it is a bit blurry, I'd say.
Eric FaddisGUEST
Uh, you know, and for defamation, uh, that only applies to statements of fact, not opinions.
speaker_0HOST
There's a highly produced dramatic pause, and then this soothing voice whispers a hook that just immediately spikes your heart rate.
speaker_1HOST
Oh, yeah, the classic true crime hook.
speaker_0HOST
Exactly.
speaker_0HOST
And you adjust your volume, you settle into your commute, and you prepare to be entertained by what is, you know, functionally the absolute worst day of a real family's life.
speaker_1HOST
Oh, you and me both.
speaker_0HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
I mean, I am fundamentally part of this massive collective obsession with true crime from those multi-part documentaries with real world consequences, uh, like The Jinx.
speaker_1HOST
Oh, that was a huge one.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Reporters swarmed.
speaker_3NARRATOR
News trucks, freelancers, even a cable true crime producer circling discreetly around the edges.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Janelle's articles gained traction.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Her coverage, detailed and deeply sourced, named not only the Chief and Tom Qureshi, but drew in the broader context of credential lapses in state emergency services.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
However, with no new evidence, the case went cold, officially unsolved.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
The case had already drawn interest from true crime writers and even a potential TV movie, only to end with no satisfying conclusion.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
This sensational saga was left with an uneasy ending, a mystery with no justice.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
Bruce Beauchamp's trial answered a few questions about why Bonnie Hood was killed.

And then later, after the disappearance, they have trouble recalling details, like the whole thing seemed like a dream.
Melissa JolwanHOST
It's almost like a true crime story, but told with a pastiche of Victorian voice that's somehow married to psychedelic 60s dreaminess, and it all really works.
Melissa JolwanHOST
It's unsettling and weird and beautiful and also suspenseful.
Melissa JolwanHOST
And I'm not sure how she made languid and suspense work,
Bradston HenryHOST
So, tailed over from sports documentaries.
Bradston HenryHOST
And actually, I think it's funny that we're talking about sports documentaries because I think the next topic we should talk about is crime, true crime.
Bradston HenryHOST
And, you know, when we're getting ready for an episode like this, we kind of like try to really map out what we want to talk about.
Bradston HenryHOST
We even share examples amongst each other that fit within themes and things like that.
Bradston HenryHOST
So one of the themes within this theme, crimes and true crime, Devontae added OJ, made in America, which is more.
Bradston HenryHOST
So let's talk about crime.
Bradston HenryHOST
and true crime documentaries.
Bradston HenryHOST
I just want to start out by saying, I would say that if I were to, at this time in history, that I feel that the most prevalent documentary is the true crime or crime documentary.

Amy TraydonHOST
Yeah.
Amy TraydonHOST
That is the hard part sometimes about doing the true crime story is like even when you don't include the super graphic stuff, like you still read it.
Amy TraydonHOST
You still had to find that information out.
Amy TraydonHOST
And it's going to haunt you forever.
