Oh wow, what a cool site! Thanks, Harry!

I found the last sentence of the write up on Lizzie quite interesting - it states:

Many people believed she killed her father and stepmother, but recent forensic research suggests that she didn't.

What recent forensic research??? Did I miss something? I couldn’t see a source listed for this statement.

Note: The bold red highlight is mine.

I love this site. When I see an interesting episode of Forensic Files, I try to find more information online.

You didn't miss anything. This refers to the book Lizzie Didn't Do It, which the author evidently found more convincing than most. I love that site, but not everything on it is reliable.

I've read it. It's quite entertaining. I think I would like the author. But I don't buy it.

Hmmm, guess I'd better do some reading!

I have the Masterton book but don't recall the part about forensic evidence showing she didn't do the murders. Unless by that they mean his idea about the time frame is considered forensically credible. I do buy into that. I'll have to refresh as usual. I swear I hate this oldtimer's. I love that site too. Thanks, Harry.
