1 00:00:00,939 --> 00:00:07,937 This series presents information based in part on theory and conjecture. 2 00:00:07,937 --> 00:00:22,933 The producer's purpose is to suggest some possible explanations, but not necessarily 3 00:00:22,933 --> 00:00:26,932 the only ones to the mysteries we will examine. 4 00:00:27,932 --> 00:00:36,930 April 1945. As the Russians fight their way into Berlin in the final days of World War II, 5 00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:41,928 they hope to capture the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, alive. 6 00:00:41,928 --> 00:00:47,927 Outside the bunker, Hitler's last headquarters, two bodies are prepared for final disposal. 7 00:00:47,927 --> 00:00:52,925 There are those who will swear that the corpses dumped in this shallow grave and burned 8 00:00:52,925 --> 00:00:56,924 are those of Adolf Hitler and his mistress, Ava Braun. 9 00:00:58,924 --> 00:01:03,922 Recent scientific findings indicate that the woman's body the Russians claim to have found 10 00:01:03,922 --> 00:01:07,921 beside Hitler's may not have been that of Ava Braun. 11 00:01:07,921 --> 00:01:15,919 As a forensic scientist, it's very satisfying, of course, to be able to say that you have the conclusive proofs. 12 00:01:15,919 --> 00:01:20,918 That, however, in the case of Ava Braun's story, is not possible. 13 00:01:21,918 --> 00:01:29,916 Did she escape as persistent rumors claim? Is it possible that Ava Braun is alive today? 14 00:01:35,914 --> 00:01:40,913 The story that the Germans had burned the bodies of Adolf Hitler and his mistress, Ava Braun, 15 00:01:40,913 --> 00:01:46,911 after they had committed suicide, was released to the world by the Russians after they had captured Berlin. 16 00:01:46,911 --> 00:01:51,910 The evidence was mostly hearsay. The inner circle of Nazi leadership scattered, 17 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:56,908 leaving behind the charred remains purported to be Hitler and Ava. But were they? 18 00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:58,908 Who was Ava Braun? 19 00:01:59,908 --> 00:02:06,906 There seems little out of the ordinary about Ava Braun, born of respectable middle-class parents in Munich in 1912. 20 00:02:06,906 --> 00:02:12,904 She grew up to be an attractive young girl. She was the second of Frau Braun's three daughters. 21 00:02:12,904 --> 00:02:17,903 An indifferent student, she had two interests, dancing and photography. 22 00:02:17,903 --> 00:02:24,901 Most of what we know about Ava comes from her snapshot albums and home movies found in a trunk in Munich at the end of the war. 23 00:02:24,901 --> 00:02:29,900 They show a healthy, spirited young woman, fun-loving and vivacious. 24 00:02:35,898 --> 00:02:39,897 She seems to have had a natural love of animals and children. 25 00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:47,895 Proud of her slim figure, she was fond of a variety of athletic activities. 26 00:02:49,894 --> 00:02:53,893 Hitler later complained that she wasn't plump enough. 27 00:02:56,893 --> 00:03:05,890 Author David Irving tracked Ava Braun, among others, during ten years he spent finding and interviewing German eye witnesses released from Russian prisons. 28 00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:10,889 Ava Braun was the archetypal ordinary woman. 29 00:03:10,889 --> 00:03:15,888 She was the kind of woman that you'll find outside in Oxford Street, walking up and down in the lunch break. 30 00:03:15,888 --> 00:03:19,887 She was a photographer's assistant. And this is how she got to know Adolf Hitler, of course, 31 00:03:19,887 --> 00:03:24,885 because she was the assistant, the laboratory assistant to Adolf Hitler's personal photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann. 32 00:03:24,885 --> 00:03:29,884 She met Hitler through Hoffmann in 1933 when she was twenty. 33 00:03:29,884 --> 00:03:34,883 Hitler was attracted by her fresh young personality and she became his mistress. 34 00:03:34,883 --> 00:03:39,881 The first years of their association were frustrating and painful for Ava. 35 00:03:39,881 --> 00:03:42,880 Often months would pass without a word from him. 36 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,879 When her suicide attempt almost succeeded, Hitler became alarmed. 37 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:53,878 He moved quickly, buying her a house near his own in Munich. 38 00:03:53,878 --> 00:03:57,876 Later he took her to Berchtesgarten, his mountain retreat. 39 00:03:58,876 --> 00:04:02,875 Here he installed her in rooms adjoining his own. 40 00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:09,873 Ava was happy now. She was recognized as the mistress of the Fuhrer, at least by his close associates. 41 00:04:09,873 --> 00:04:13,872 But this was never allowed by Hitler to be known to the German people. 42 00:04:13,872 --> 00:04:20,870 These rare 1930s color home movies of Hitler, Ava and their cronies at Berchtesgarten 43 00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:23,870 reveal Ava's true role in Hitler's life. 44 00:04:24,869 --> 00:04:28,868 Even at Berchtesgarten she had to compete with others for his attention. 45 00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:32,867 A flow of officials on urgent business demanded his time. 46 00:04:35,866 --> 00:04:38,866 Verbales constantly needed to confer with him. 47 00:04:40,865 --> 00:04:43,864 Himmler was a frequent subject for Ava's camera. 48 00:04:43,864 --> 00:04:48,863 And always close by, Martin Borman, Hitler's ever-present shadow. 49 00:04:48,863 --> 00:04:54,861 Ava, a good photographer, moved about freely with her camera when Hitler's close associates were present. 50 00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:57,861 But when outsiders arrived, she was kept out of sight. 51 00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:02,859 And there's one very nice series of photographs that she takes of the arrival of a foreign potentate. 52 00:05:03,859 --> 00:05:07,858 And she's up there in her little attic window, peering down. 53 00:05:07,858 --> 00:05:11,857 And she writes in the caption of these photographs she puts in her album, 54 00:05:11,857 --> 00:05:15,856 there they are down there, and I'm up here, and nobody's allowed to know about me. 55 00:05:15,856 --> 00:05:20,855 And she obviously takes a certain amount of relish, a rather school-girdish relish still, 56 00:05:20,855 --> 00:05:23,854 in being the forbidden mistress of the Fuhrer. 57 00:05:24,854 --> 00:05:29,852 In the few brief scenes of Hitler and Ava together, she keeps a respectful distance. 58 00:05:29,852 --> 00:05:33,851 There is no indication of intimacy between them. 59 00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:48,847 Watching these frivolous scenes, one cannot help but be stunned by the realization that they are occurring at the same time as the horrors of the Holocaust. 60 00:05:49,847 --> 00:05:54,846 One wonders how much Ava knew, or how much she chose to forget. 61 00:05:57,845 --> 00:06:03,843 As the war progressed, Ava's movies show many scenes of Hitler and his entourage leaving their mountain retreat. 62 00:06:03,843 --> 00:06:06,842 He would be spending less and less time with her. 63 00:06:06,842 --> 00:06:12,841 As time passed, the atmosphere at the Berks' Garden left Ava lonely and depressed. 64 00:06:13,841 --> 00:06:18,839 Ava Braun had been insulated by Hitler from the reality of the war. 65 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,838 So it was a shock in 1945 when Hitler's world began to crumble. 66 00:06:23,838 --> 00:06:29,836 He'd been defeated in his attempt to conquer Russia and unable to bomb Britain into submission. 67 00:06:29,836 --> 00:06:35,835 With Allied armies pushing toward Berlin from the west and the Russians pouring into the city from the east, 68 00:06:35,835 --> 00:06:40,833 Hitler retreated to a concrete bunker deep below the city. 69 00:06:42,833 --> 00:06:45,832 The bunker was at the center of Berlin. 70 00:06:48,831 --> 00:06:53,830 Although Hitler had survived an assassin's bomb, it had left him partially paralyzed. 71 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:59,828 And those who visited him in the bunker during those last days were shocked at his deterioration. 72 00:06:59,828 --> 00:07:06,827 They described him as a broken old man, though he still treated them to occasional flashes of rage. 73 00:07:07,826 --> 00:07:11,825 The attempt on his life had fueled his mistrust of his generals. 74 00:07:11,825 --> 00:07:16,824 He believed that he alone could dictate successful military strategy. 75 00:07:16,824 --> 00:07:20,823 His orders reflected his madness. 76 00:07:21,823 --> 00:07:26,821 In April 1945, Ava realized that the war was only weeks from its end. 77 00:07:26,821 --> 00:07:28,821 The end comfort was beginning in Berlin. 78 00:07:28,821 --> 00:07:32,820 The Russians had attacked again on the Oder. They were already fighting in the streets of Berlin. 79 00:07:37,818 --> 00:07:41,817 For her safety, Hitler had insisted that Ava stay away from Berlin. 80 00:07:41,817 --> 00:07:46,816 But she defied his orders and came to join him during the last days in the bunker. 81 00:07:46,816 --> 00:07:49,815 Ava must have known she was going to her death. 82 00:07:53,814 --> 00:07:56,813 Hitler recognizes this act of courage on her part. 83 00:07:56,813 --> 00:08:00,812 And he sees in her a kind of courage that he can't do without him. 84 00:08:00,812 --> 00:08:03,812 Hitler recognizes this act of courage on her part. 85 00:08:03,812 --> 00:08:07,811 And he sees in her a kind of courage that even his most outstanding generals, 86 00:08:07,811 --> 00:08:10,810 not even the famous SS, Waffen-SS generals, have shown. 87 00:08:10,810 --> 00:08:12,809 They've all been finding excuses to get out. 88 00:08:12,809 --> 00:08:16,808 Very few are staying down there in that rather dusty, concrete smelling atmosphere in the bunker, 89 00:08:16,808 --> 00:08:21,807 which one of his staff compared to that with a submarine prowling beneath the streets of Berlin. 90 00:08:21,807 --> 00:08:24,806 Nobody likes it. The shells are pounding in overhead. 91 00:08:24,806 --> 00:08:29,805 The concrete membranes of the bunker are vibrating every morning to the artillery bombardment from the Russians. 92 00:08:29,805 --> 00:08:32,804 Just a few miles down the road. And here was the girl with guts. 93 00:08:32,804 --> 00:08:36,803 Although Hitler continued to lash out viciously against his generals, 94 00:08:36,803 --> 00:08:40,802 he now became uncharacteristically tender with Ava. 95 00:08:43,801 --> 00:08:46,800 To a certain extent, he's setting her off against the generals. 96 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,799 He's trying to say to himself and also to the other people in the bunker, 97 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,798 she came, she stood by me, the generals have abandoned me. 98 00:08:55,798 --> 00:08:59,797 He starts talking about her as Mrs. Hitler. That's the first thing. To his agitance. 99 00:08:59,797 --> 00:09:03,796 And then the next thing is they find out that a wedding ceremony is being prepared. 100 00:09:03,796 --> 00:09:06,795 On April 29th, Ava put on her favorite dress. 101 00:09:06,795 --> 00:09:10,794 A local registrar is found and with Goebbels as best man, 102 00:09:10,794 --> 00:09:17,792 and Kempke and Bormann as witnesses, this extraordinary ceremony takes place under the streets of Berlin. 103 00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:21,791 Hitler signs the document with a firm hand. 104 00:09:21,791 --> 00:09:26,790 But Ava Brown signs very nervously. She signs Ava Brough. 105 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:29,789 She begins signing her maiden name and she realizes of course that now she's Hitler. 106 00:09:29,789 --> 00:09:32,788 She crosses out the Brown and writes in Hitler instead. 107 00:09:36,787 --> 00:09:42,785 Congratulated by the secretaries, like any bride, Ava is radiantly happy. 108 00:09:42,785 --> 00:09:44,785 She has achieved her dream. 109 00:09:44,785 --> 00:09:48,784 But Ava Brown has one more day to live. 110 00:09:58,781 --> 00:10:03,780 Hitler gets up on April the 3rd, 1945, and he knows it's going to be the last day of his life. 111 00:10:03,780 --> 00:10:08,779 And he calls in Otto Günther, who's been his SS agitant for several years. 112 00:10:08,779 --> 00:10:11,778 He's still alive in Cologne and who personally told me the whole story 113 00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:15,777 when he came out of Russian captivity. 114 00:10:15,777 --> 00:10:19,776 And he says to Günther, you've got to get hold of 200 liters of gasoline, 115 00:10:19,776 --> 00:10:23,775 because Mrs. Hitler and I, Eva, were going to commit suicide this afternoon, 116 00:10:23,775 --> 00:10:28,773 and you're responsible for making sure that nothing was ever survived, just ashes. 117 00:10:28,773 --> 00:10:33,772 I don't want the Russians getting hold of our bodies and setting them up in some kind of Russian waxworks, 118 00:10:33,772 --> 00:10:36,771 a panopticum in Moscow. 119 00:10:37,771 --> 00:10:43,769 At 3.30 on the afternoon of April 30th, Hitler and Ava retired to his sitting room. 120 00:10:43,769 --> 00:10:48,768 It is known that Hitler had two cyanide capsules and two pistols. 121 00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:56,766 In a copy of his will, Hitler stated that Ava had chosen to commit suicide with him. 122 00:10:56,766 --> 00:11:00,765 Her feelings are revealed in the last letter she wrote to her sister. 123 00:11:01,765 --> 00:11:05,764 I must write you these words so that you will not feel sad for us. 124 00:11:05,764 --> 00:11:14,761 It is rather we who are filled with sorrow, because it is your fate to live on into the chaos that will follow. 125 00:11:14,761 --> 00:11:19,760 For myself, I am glad to die at the sight of the future. 126 00:11:31,757 --> 00:11:36,755 Witnesses say that Hitler shot himself and that Ava took poison. 127 00:11:36,755 --> 00:11:39,755 The prearranged ritual was carried out. 128 00:11:39,755 --> 00:11:43,754 Hitler's body was wrapped in a blanket to hide the blood. 129 00:11:48,752 --> 00:11:52,751 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 130 00:12:00,749 --> 00:12:04,748 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 131 00:12:04,748 --> 00:12:08,747 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 132 00:12:08,747 --> 00:12:12,746 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 133 00:12:12,746 --> 00:12:16,745 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 134 00:12:16,745 --> 00:12:20,744 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 135 00:12:20,744 --> 00:12:24,743 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 136 00:12:24,743 --> 00:12:28,742 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 137 00:12:30,741 --> 00:12:34,740 The Russians were now only a few hundred yards away. 138 00:12:50,736 --> 00:12:53,735 As Arnold Gernscher carried out Hitler's last orders, 139 00:12:53,735 --> 00:12:56,734 Goebbels stared grimly at the proceedings. 140 00:12:56,734 --> 00:13:04,732 Hitler's most devout disciple, he was determined that he and his wife would follow the fear in the same death the following day. 141 00:13:26,726 --> 00:13:39,723 We must remember that this reenactment is based on the testimony of a few surviving Nazis who were present. 142 00:13:39,723 --> 00:13:42,722 All fiercely loyal to Hitler and Ava. 143 00:13:42,722 --> 00:13:49,720 Did they fabricate the story to give Hitler a fittingly veterinarian death and to cover Ava's escape? 144 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,720 Recent evidence may prove this to be true. 145 00:13:53,719 --> 00:13:57,718 On May 3rd, the Russian flag flew over the chancelry. 146 00:13:57,718 --> 00:14:00,717 Berlin had fallen to the Russian armies. 147 00:14:00,717 --> 00:14:03,717 It was a great deal of confusion as to what had happened to Hitler. 148 00:14:03,717 --> 00:14:09,715 Russian investigators digging near the entrance to the bunker discovered the bodies of a man and a woman. 149 00:14:09,715 --> 00:14:13,714 At first they announced them to be those of Hitler and his mistress Ava Braun. 150 00:14:13,714 --> 00:14:18,713 Later, they changed their story, stating they believed Hitler to be alive. 151 00:14:19,712 --> 00:14:27,710 H. Trevor Roper, now a well-known British historian, was sent to Berlin to try to discover what had happened to Hitler. 152 00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:35,708 I was in British intelligence at the end of the war and after the fall of Berlin, Hitler was missing. 153 00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:42,706 And he was missing for five months or so and nobody knew what had happened to him. 154 00:14:42,706 --> 00:14:51,704 And the Russians accused the British of concealing him in their zone of Germany for use against them. 155 00:14:51,704 --> 00:14:59,702 And the British authorities appointed me to find out what had happened to Marshal Zhukov, the Russian commander-in-chief. 156 00:14:59,702 --> 00:15:07,700 First, he stated to Allied officers that Hitler had married Ava Braun, which had not been known before, 157 00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:20,696 and that they had committed suicide and no sooner had this been released to the world than Zhukov changed his view and said he had no reason to believe that Hitler was dead. 158 00:15:20,696 --> 00:15:25,695 He thought he was probably alive and after that he felt totally silent. 159 00:15:25,695 --> 00:15:32,693 Marshal Zhukov said it. Marshal Zhukov told Eisenhower, he told Churchill, he told Truman. He said, we found no trace of Hitler. 160 00:15:32,693 --> 00:15:40,691 There were several Americans who visited Stalin in Moscow at this time and to them, Stalin was saying that Hitler was alive. 161 00:15:40,691 --> 00:15:54,687 So the Zhukov's true deduction from the inquiries which he had made in Berlin were put into reverse and the official line became that Hitler was alive and that was maintained for the rest of Stalin's life. 162 00:15:54,687 --> 00:16:02,685 Thus the Russians set in motion in some way the legend that Adolf Hitler had escaped by submarine to a South America that he was still alive in Germany. 163 00:16:02,685 --> 00:16:05,684 He was waiting to return. Evert Braun, of course, part of that legend. 164 00:16:05,684 --> 00:16:14,682 No stories seemed too outlandish to print. Reports from people who claimed to have seen Hitler or Ava continued to come in from all over the world. 165 00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:20,680 One woman who prefers to remain anonymous claims to have seen Ava in a village in Tibet. 166 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:30,678 My husband and I were traveling in the Himalayas when we came across a woman we were convinced was either Braun. I have seen her pictures and I would know her anywhere. 167 00:16:30,678 --> 00:16:40,675 When later reports of escaping Nazis were found to be true, the stories did not sound so strange. Many of the leading Nazis were brought to trial at Nuremberg. 168 00:16:40,675 --> 00:16:53,672 However, there were some who escaped and remained hidden for years in South America. It was easy for them to become lost in remote areas or in the cities among the large German population of Argentina. 169 00:16:53,672 --> 00:17:00,670 It was here that Eichmann was finally captured, kidnapped by Israelis and brought to trial. 170 00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:09,668 It has been more than 36 years since the fall of Berlin, but an air of mystery still surrounds those last days in the bunker. 171 00:17:09,668 --> 00:17:14,666 Identification of bodies through their dental characteristics is now an exact science. 172 00:17:14,666 --> 00:17:25,663 Recent information concerning Ava Braun has been published by international forensic expert Professor Radar Songness, founder of the School of Dentistry at UCLA. 173 00:17:26,663 --> 00:17:37,660 Based on actual x-rays taken of Hitler's skull at the time of the bomb attempt on his life, Professor Songness in his UCLA lab built an exact replica of Hitler's dental structure. 174 00:17:37,660 --> 00:17:41,659 He then made comparisons with the post-mortem reports. 175 00:17:41,659 --> 00:17:54,656 In fingerprints we require 12 concordant points. In the case of Adolf Hitler's condition, with so many very characteristic dental crowns and britches and root fillings and so forth, 176 00:17:54,656 --> 00:18:02,654 evidence is now that we have 26 concordant points between antemortem and post-mortem information. 177 00:18:02,654 --> 00:18:14,650 And as a result of this, we can now say with absolute certainty that the remains of Adolf Hitler have absolutely, definitely been identified. 178 00:18:14,650 --> 00:18:22,648 Ava Braun's case is an entirely different matter. In that case we do not have a number of concordant points. 179 00:18:22,648 --> 00:18:33,645 The Russians have indicated that the only conclusive proof that they may have Ava Braun is a britch in the lower right jaw of Ava Braun. 180 00:18:33,645 --> 00:18:41,643 I have interviewed the dental assistant who was present when things were placed in the mouth of the patients. 181 00:18:41,643 --> 00:18:48,641 And she has indicated to me that this britch was made but the time ran out and there was no time to put it in. 182 00:18:48,641 --> 00:18:54,640 She told Dr. Songness of a visit by Soviet investigators a few days after the fall of Berlin. 183 00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:02,638 The Russians demanded all dental information concerning Hitler and Ava. It was a tense period and she was terrified. 184 00:19:02,638 --> 00:19:08,636 Indeed, she was later sentenced to many years in Russian prisons, probably to ensure her silence. 185 00:19:08,636 --> 00:19:14,635 She remembered that a dental bridge had been made for Ava but never delivered. 186 00:19:14,635 --> 00:19:21,633 The Russians took the bridge and later claimed they had found it as part of Ava's charge remains. 187 00:19:21,633 --> 00:19:27,631 Here I have prepared a model showing the space that was supposed to have been filled by this britch. 188 00:19:27,631 --> 00:19:37,628 And I've also made a model of the britch and here I will now insert it where it should have been inserted in Ava Braun's mouth. 189 00:19:37,628 --> 00:19:45,626 And the mystery of the bridge is that with a fire that burned up half of her head and part of her jawbone, 190 00:19:45,626 --> 00:19:52,625 these plastic teeth in front should in this case have been almost evaporated. 191 00:19:52,625 --> 00:19:58,623 But according to the pictures the Russians have shown, it looked essentially intact. 192 00:19:58,623 --> 00:20:08,620 Based on the fact that the bridge work is the only evidence that the Russians really are claiming for her identification, 193 00:20:08,620 --> 00:20:15,618 I find that I am not able to make a post-mortem identification of Ava Braun. 194 00:20:15,618 --> 00:20:23,616 Eva Braun died with Hitler in the bunker. Of that I have no doubt there's plenty of evidence and I'm sure of it. 195 00:20:23,616 --> 00:20:33,614 While I am not suggesting that Ava Braun has escaped and is alive, while I believe that she probably is dead, 196 00:20:33,614 --> 00:20:42,611 I must from a scientific point of view indicate that we do not have any evidence from the information now available 197 00:20:42,611 --> 00:20:45,611 that in fact she has been identified. 198 00:20:45,611 --> 00:20:51,609 Today what remains of the entrance to the bunker lies just inside East Berlin. 199 00:20:51,609 --> 00:20:55,608 It is necessary to get permission from the communists to get even close to it. 200 00:20:55,608 --> 00:21:03,606 To the remains of Ava Braun or the answer to what became of her lie buried beneath this pile of rubble. 201 00:21:03,606 --> 00:21:08,604 What became of those Nazis who were present in the last days in the bunker? 202 00:21:08,604 --> 00:21:14,603 Joseph Goebbels and his wife committed suicide the next day after they had poisoned their five children. 203 00:21:14,603 --> 00:21:18,602 Their bodies were burned. 204 00:21:18,602 --> 00:21:24,600 Martin Borman died trying to escape through the Berlin subways. 205 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:32,598 Kempke, Hitler's chauffeur, spent years in Russian prisons where he repeatedly stuck to the story we have reenacted here. 206 00:21:32,598 --> 00:21:38,597 Otto Gernscher is a successful businessman in Germany today. 207 00:21:38,597 --> 00:21:46,594 The End 208 00:21:46,594 --> 00:21:56,592 Coming up next, In Search of continues with an investigation into claims that a daughter of Tsar Nicholas II survived the massacre of the Russian royal family. 209 00:21:56,592 --> 00:22:05,589 Then 20th century with Mike Wallace reports on the FBI and the controversy that surrounds its work in the era following the death of J. Edgar Hoover. 210 00:22:05,589 --> 00:22:10,588 And later tonight, she gave her mother 40 wax or did she? 211 00:22:10,588 --> 00:22:18,586 The strange case of Lizzie Borden on History's Mysteries, at eight here on the History Channel where the past comes alive.
