There is a very special bond-or tie-between identical twins. Of course,identical twins look alike. when they get older, they sometimes even have the same number of wrinkles around their eyes. Most twins also share a special bond, an amazing feeling of closeness with each other. And identical twins behave alike. For example, one pair of twins who grew up in different families both walk into the ocean backward and only up to their knees.
For John and William Bloomfield, the special bond went beyond life. The Bloomfield twins did everything together. One night they were eating dinner together at a restaurant. John-or perhaps it was William-had a heart attack and died. His brother immediately had a heart attack and died, too. The police couldn't save either brother, or even figure out who was John and who was William.
California twins Ronald and Donald Anderson shared a single life. Everyone thought there was only one Mr. Anderson. One day Ronald Anderson's wife was murdered. The police were sure that Ronald Anderson was the killer. They saw him running away. There was one problem: When his wife was killed, Ronald Anderson was already in jail. lf he was in jail, he was not the killer. The police were confused. Finally they found the answer. There were two Anderson brothers-twins! For many years, they pretended to be one person. Donald Anderson was in jail. Ronald Anderson killed the woman. Now Ronald Anderson is in jail, too.
