Lizzie Borden Society Forum

When I joined this group...something I thought I would find in wide variety...but as of yet ..have not seen...Theories on the Borden Case. I had thought I would have the great treat of reading multiple versions from a variety of great inquisitive minds...Whodunits....just simple "Here's what I think happened" type stories. I would like to start this thread...I will be posting my "This is how it happened". I hope others will follow my lead...my theory is going to be a bit of a shocker I am sure and I am sure I will recieve scathing remarks as well as a few.."you know that sounds likely". LOL....but hey what are we here for ...THEORIES...why arent there any here. As soon as I refine my summary of the theory I will be posting it.

oops...well maybe i should have read all the replies to emma's beau before stating there were no theories posted...but really still there is no complete theories on what any particular person thinks happened that day surrounding the murders....so hopefully we will see some. Really I think it is the best way to come to conclusions...complete theories from many different ppl...then picking each apart..putting strings of some with others....etc...well hopefully at least for entertainment purposes this will happen. I know everyone on the forums has their own theory...cmon you all know you want to post yours

Tasheka...most of us have posted our theories already...and we do update them every now and then. Being new, you might not know that you can read through the archives and see what has been said/discussed in past posts.. Just click on the link at the top of the forum page. Let us know what else we can do to help you !


Tracy...

Hello!
I'm willing to read anyone's full theory.
Sometimes tho people write that up and submit it to the online magazine, The Hatchet.
We've had Fritz's full theory published there and then he wanted feedback here.
Jeffery had a full theory he spent a long time on and pretty much presented it- here or in our earlier incarnation at Arborwood.
These full theories run up to between 40 and 60 pages.
Each one believes they have solved the case.

Personally, my theory is ever-changing- as we bounce stuff off each other, but a full theory is usually reserved to the individual.

How long is your theory and would you like to take your time posting it uninterrupted, or would you prefer a discussion on each key point?

I'm ready when you are!

Like Kat, I'd like to see a well-thought-out theory of the case by any poster here, with one caveat. I do hope the theorist has bothered to read the primary sources that are so accessible now and doesn't base his/her theory on novelizations and other people's flights of fancy. It's pretty tough to come up with a truly rational theory that covers all the bases. That's why I don't yet have one. How long have you been studying the case? What have you read?

Ditto on both Kat's and Edisto's comments. It's always good to hear someone else's theory. What about putting it in .doc and posting a link ? I'm looking forward to hearing your perspective Tasheka.


Tracy...

welcome Tash, don't be intimidatated by all us so
called know-it-alls, we really don't know anything.
your theories and thoughts are welcome!

I'd like to say that Nancie does not speak for me.
But yes, please don't be shy about your intent, tash.

Well, I may not know "anything," but I do know that a sentence normally starts with a capital and ends with a period or other appropriate punctuation.

I enjoy hearing other people's ideas and theories.

Post away!

I would do the same but I would have to change it every few minutes...

I would also enjoy reading a well thought out theory about the case. I'm always interested to hear a theory on how and why Andrew and Abby were killed. Looking forward to reading your post.
