The neighbor ended up finding Abby Borden's body upstairs in one of the family’s bedrooms. Abby was said to be killed first, about ninety minutes before Andrew. This was explained by the different body temperatures of the corpses. Abby’s body was cold, which meant that she died first. However, Andrew’s body was still warm, so he had to have been killed last (Trial of Lizzie Borden).

During the interview an Assistant Marshal of Falls River, John Fleet, called Abby Borden Lizzie's “mother” during an interview. Lizzie then responded by saying, “‘she was not my mother, sir’ (Lizzie said) ‘she was my stepmother. My mother died when I was a child’” (Trial of Lizzie Borden).
