The taking of innocent human lives has dire consequences for many due to the 'ripple effect'. With the death of their parents, the Borden sister's lives were drastically altered forever. Though the sisters were not left destitute, they were in effect, left without a patriarch which of course was important for the time period in which they lived. Men were the indesputable king of Victorian-era castles, even modest homes like the Borden's.
It must have been quite difficult to live in the shadow of the double murders. Although aquitted, Lizzie was found guilty in the eyes of the community of Fall River. She would remain so for the remainder of her life. Sister Emma was found guilty by association, and although she was not shunned as Lizzie was it was impossible for her to escape the stigma of her sister's infamey. Within a few years the sisters Borden had a 'falling out' that was never mended, they remained estranged until their deaths, only days apart in 1927.
The community of Fall River will be forever known as the birthplace and downfall of one of it's most prominent families. In August 2012, one hundred twenty years will have gone by sinse the demise of Andrew and Abby Borden. The double murders still baffle and certainly fascinate more than a century later. If we learn nothing else from these senseless killings, it is that killers come in both sexes, under circumstances that by all appearances are mundane. Killers come from all socio-economic classes. They can be daughters and Sunday school teachers, in small towns as well as large urban areas. And despite the passing of time, the Bordens and their tragedy have achieved almost mythical proportions in American history.

Has anyone ever considered if Lizzie Bordens sister Emma may have been the killer?
In his book "Lizzie" author Frank Spiering claimed that Lizzie's sister Emma was not where everyone thought she was, and was indeed the killer. Lizzie and Emma were furious over a family dispute over a piece of real estate that Andrew Borden had given to his wife's side of the family. Abby Borden was Emma and Lizzie's stepmother, so to see some of their property going to someone 'outside' the immediate family caused a rift that could not be overcome.
