BOOM! After sitting in a long trial for a few days and being betrayed by her main witness, Alex Cooper had two investigations on her hands.

His father was working in the tunnels at the time and even though Brendan was blind in one eye his father tried to get him to work down there with him when he was 18 years old.

This accusation was influenced by the lack of evidence at the scene of the crime. There appeared to be no murder weapon, very few witnesses, and the house did not show any signs of an intruder (“Lizzie Borden on Trial” 5).
