Have you heard of Lizzie Borden? Lizzie Borden was an American woman suspected of murdering her stepmother and father in 1892; her trial became a national sensation in the United States. There was even a the popular rhyme about the Borden murders: “Lizzie Borden took an ax/And gave her mother forty whacks/When she saw what she had done/She gave her father forty-one.” But was Lizzie Borden guilty or innocent?

This serial killer has had countless books written, tv show episodes and movies about him, if you've read or seen Stephen Kings novella The Good Marriage which was inspired by none other than Dennis Rader, The BTK Killer. Between 1974 and 1991, he killed ten people in Wichita and Park City, Kansas, and sent taunting letters to police and media outlets describing the details of his crimes.

With Father's Day coming up let's talk about one of the worst father's, but none other than John List. I've briefly talked about John List in our 32nd episode "The Watcher" which I highly recommend listening to. John List was the inspiration for 2009 film The Stepfather starring Penn Badgley and Dylan Walsh. John List was a mass murderer and longtime fugitive who murdered his family and disappered for 18 years.
