Surprise Skulls are Never Appreciated

Spooky Season continues, with one of the most famous murder trials in history: Lizzie Borden! What really happened to Andrew and Abby Borden, and why does this case still fascinate us, almost 130 years later? We'll also talk about Lizzie's post-trial life, and some theories around why she might have had motive.

This week, we're curious about Green-Wood Cemetery, screaming peacocks, bird watchers, LuLaRich, MLM schemes, Candyman, updates on the case of Ashley Loring Heavyrunner, and baking cakes.

Our Curious Cocktail for the week is the Bloody Lizzie:

• Squeeze and strain the juice from 1 large tomato
• 1 oz dry vermouth
• 2 oz Gay vodka
• Garnish with garden vegetables
