In an era when wealthy young women were above suspicion, the case exposed a fractured family, a botched investigation, and a media frenzy that convicted Lizzie long before she ever saw a courtroom. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson revisits one of America's most infamous unsolved murders, the evidence that pointed toward Lizzie, and the questions that still linger more than 130 years later. Was justice served, or did the real killer walk free?
