There's one other person that I want to mention really briefly here, and this isn't a theory that I spent particularly long looking into, but it's worth mentioning that there is a possibility that Andrew had an illegitimate son from a different, a completely separate relationship.
And there is some speculation that this illegitimate son wanted financial recognition from his father, and that that was a source of.
argument.
I was just gonna say that.
Yeah, it feels like it would be on the stage in the nineteenth century.
That's like a theatrical plot.
But pretty soon the authorities have no choice but to turn to Lizzie as the suspect.
And interestingly, they don't necessarily turn to Maggie in the same way, which I find very interesting and not necessarily how you'd expect it to play out.
Though Lizzie claims to have been in the yard outside the house the whole time.
But what strikes Maggie about that initial moment when Lizzie raises the alarm and shouts for her to come, is that actually when she stood over the body of her father and later when they discover Abby dead upstairs,
Lizzie's quite cold and actually almost a little bit curious about the injuries and she doesn't seem particularly hysterical or disturbed by what they're looking at.
Of course, we might today contribute that to being that she's in shock.
if anyone's ever been in shock, they'll know that your body kind of shuts down to a certain extent and you don't necessarily behave in a way that you would be able to predict.
Crucially, though, because of her social standing, and because it's her father who is dead,
The police don't really search her, and they d also don't search her bedroom.
She says, when the police arrive that she's feeling unwell, that she's so shocked by everything, that she needs to lie down.
And so the policemen in the house do a very cursory, you know, head round the door, just checking that there aren't blood splatters up the wall, and they don't look at anything beyond that, which of course is we would consider now to be hugely
Remiss, but they think that she is a vulnerable young woman, she's had a great loss, she needs to rest and recuperate.
That is then coupled with the fact that when she's questioned by the police, she acts in a way that's actually quite snobbish.
And she really draws on those social distinctions.
