Bertha Manchester!

Post by duke4172 »

I’ve always wondered if the man who murdered Bertha Manchester may have also murdered the Bordens? I have always read that Andrew Borden was a skinflint so maybe the man who murdered Bertha thought he had been cheated by Andrew so he committed the murders. Plus, I don’t think a woman could have committed these murders because in those days women did not work out like they do now and I don’t believe a woman would have been strong or head, the stamina to literally crack the skulls of her victims

Duke -- hi! There was medical testimony that a woman would have been able to inflict the damage the killer put upon Abby and Andrew.
They caught and prosecuted the man who killed Bertha and there was no identified connection to the Borden's.
