They were warned: make a movie about the Devil, and the Devil will try to stop you. What followed were plane crashes, bombings of film locations, animal attacks, and a real-life decapitation that mirrored a scene from the film itself.

Nick and Mindi Kassotis believed they were being hunted. According to friends and family, Nick's classified military work had put them both in danger, so much so that Mindi rarely left the house. But the couple also shared they were expecting a child. Then, just after Thanksgiving, Mindi died suddenly in the hospital. Soon after, Nick died too. That's what everyone who loved them believed, that is until a woman's dismembered remains turned up in a wooded area. Stories started to unravel and a mysterious new figure emerged. "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty separates fact from fiction in a case built upon unimaginable layers of deception. Available now.

Today, we’re revisiting the details of the Lizzie Borden trial. In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were hacked to death in their locked Fall River home while their 32-year-old daughter Lizzie was the only other person inside. Over 130 years later, the case is still officially unsolved and now serves as the inspiration for Ryan Murphy’s latest installment of the "Monster" series. Let’s dive into mounting family resentment, the evidence the jury never heard, and Lizzie’s lavish lifestyle after the murders.
