Eli and Mel delve deep into a story as legendary as that one time that Eli did that thing when he was a kid and it was great. The subject of this legend is the queen of mean, the daughter of slaughter, Lizzie Borden. Eli dispels the myths as he lays the truth out there like the hacked up bodies of Andrew and Abby Borden left on a dining room table by a coroner moonlighting as a witch doctor. Did Lizzie bury an ax in her parents’ faces or was it the maid? Perhaps even the long lost mentally-retarded son of a penny-pinching miser? What was the motivation? Lesbians caught in the act? Daddy’s money? Being Irish? Or perhaps it was just coincidence and the ax just happened to fall into their faces multiple times? Well Eli and Mel have all the answers and more in…Lizzie Borden Part I: The Daughter of Slaughter.
