On the scrubby heels around Bakers, still california, the oil direct poll of the shrinking black lake far below, wait down below for an answer to a secret maylie, or a victim, or a ghost. Whatever is down there IT called up to a sister's devotion.
I don't go a second of a minute of an hour of a day. what?
Thank you. The berry SHE could come Better took IT a dark places. No one should go.
There was done around, and there was bullets. IT was a scarious of my entire life.
And in the end, the secret LED to the lowest place of all, a human heart bent on murder.
You be doing out to bug off.
A dark tail that one illuminated by the uncomfortable love shared by twins there .
was still um a uniqueness between us that I can hardly describe IT IT was like he was a part of me definitely growing .
up in the sixties to research asa siebold were inseparable, sharing light die confidences and closed their bond, the refuge from a troubled family. Eventually their parents split. Three older brothers remained in california with their grandfather, but the twins, just three years old, were sent a way to live with relatives in oklahoma. There, like two sides of a coin, they developed the two very different people SHE like singing .
out and with the guys and going outside all the time. I like to stay in my room and reading books and doing my homework.
Rixey boat was one of three brothers have been forced to leave behind, but he he remembers how tresa watched out for lisa.
Ta was like a mother figure to help her through the hard times and help her long in school. And he was just always there to help lisa.
I would have these nightmares routinely, like I remember them as far back as one. I was five and six years old, where there will be a monster in the dream and different types of monsters. But I was always had the same ending where I would jump out in front of the of my sister, so the monster would get me instead of her.
To reach a work hard putting yourself through college while lisa drifted still the same inextricable link stuck fast and the same pattern SHE would call me exact .
same time I was calling her one time he got in decent trouble. And when I was in college, and I could feel .
that they always knew when something was wrong between each other.
And in fact, much had gone wrong. In one thousand nine hundred and eighty five, lisa had tried to take her own life after a failed romance and the death of their mother. Tresa worried incessantly, and then just two years later, lisa, by then twenty five years old, met her happily ever after or so he hoped his name is bright Thomas.
And they seemed the polar opposite of all the nardo wells piled up in leases. Past Price was handsome and stable. He worked the oil fields around Baker's fields.
I think he kind of kept her settle down, and he seemed to be enjoying life. And I would come to stay with me about six weeks. And everything would seem to be pitch .
perfect for Teresa. Rice became not only a brother in law, but a close friend.
He just was like the real close brother. We were able to, you know, open our heart set about all the new personal things that you can always, always even talk to you with a brother about. But I was able to talk to him about.
In october of thousand nine hundred eighty seven lisa gave birth to a doctor, Christine. Lisa rice got married the following year, and four years later there was another daughter, briana. Teresia also got married and had two children. And finally, after all those difficult years, IT seemed like the parallel tracks of the sisters s lives. We're heading in the right direction.
I felt like I didn't have to be your apparent anymore or worry about it's the worrying was the biggest parent.
But there were sequent even then, and they were bury deep. Rick, the brother caught just a hint in leases behavior and husband Prices glare.
We have this way of demining. Lisa, you know, like SHE was stupid, or that he didn't understand how to give Christian guidance or discipline.
and whether IT was that reason, nor some other call of the old wild life, lisa began to seek the comfort of other man, one man in particular. And SHE required herself to be again in passionate, irresponsible love. Finally, in the summer of one thousand nine hundred ninety six, lisa embrace decided display. But there was something odd about the way that happened. Their marriage had been increasingly troubled as lisa cheated and rice jellous and angry receive what was ot was the impending divorce seemed quite peaceful.
They even had their paperwork, and I was all very mutual. They were friendship about IT.
A controlling husband and a waygood wife don't usually add up to an amicable divorce, but as far as to recent, and her brother knew in this case, IT did, that's why they thought nothing of IT when lisa called them for a favor. When August weekend in one hundred and ninety six.
that's the weekend. The trees. And I got her children while he was going to look for apartment. So SHE was left alone in the apartment with Price.
Lisa and Teresa spoke on the sunday night. Everything was on schedule, but by tuesday, August eighth, lisa had failed to pick up her dollars. Terresa was not altogether surprised.
I had her kids. Everything was fine. I thought lisa would always take a number of my baby sitting, so SHE didn't make IT till tuesday night or weddings day morning.
I wouldn't been surprised least IT was known to be flaky. So I kind of let IT slide. And then by friday, I was getting ready to pull my hair out from the call for kids and getting worried about.
and I was mad, at least that friday, IT was Price Thomas, who came to pick up the girls, not lisa. He didn't seem to be concerned about leases failure to show up. After all, he said, this is new boyfriend had recently gotten out of jail.
Maybe they had left town taking a trip to celebrate the boss lesat, even with her new boyfriend. Had the boyfriend actually been released, he called the prison to make sure the reason wasn't prepared. What the official told her. He came back to the .
phone and he said, yeah, he's hero, right? He has. And her from your sister in a couple weeks. He was kind of worry himself soon as he told me that I just said, oh my god, she's dead. I know, I know my baby's dead.
And with that explicable twins instinct, SHE also felt to do something else. SHE knew exactly where to look for her lost sister.
How different they were, tourists, sea bold, and her twin sister, lisa. Tourism, so stable, via defined, occasionally irresponsible. Now, on the very night he was leaving, her husband lisa had vanished. And to recent new bones of her shared DNA, that something was terribly wrong.
Everyone said that I was letting imagination a while, that she's not dead. He just party and he just need to be patient. And I was very insulted red by all this, because I knew he was, did.
This is, whole families suspected that this is controlling. Husband rice Thomas said something to do with their disappearance. The police were suspicious too, and they questioned in at his front door. But god, no further.
they did not have a warned to go ahead. Any reason to be suspicious? That's why we knew we had to have evidence to build you at the search. What I said, well, the first thing that i'd like to do is go to the apartment where we know SHE last was and he was late at night. And so we did.
IT is breaking dark outside the apartment of bridge Thomas, they checked he wasn't home tourism. Rick and a few friends stood in the dark yard, but now suddenly terresa knew, what if you had to do? SHE turned to the others and said, as far as i'm concerned.
inly to died in that house, he never lifted to alive, and we should. We need to get inside their house. That's what we need to do. SHE never left her live, and he did not .
leave her voluntarily. So treasa says, i'm gona break in. And I said, are you sure, Teresa? You know? He say yes.
IT was kind of a very elway, and there was only alleged this big for me to stand on, and the window was up to here. So IT was not a very feasible thing. But I thought, you know, my sir, I need the sick.
And I we were very competitive athletically, and I tried to open the window thinking I was just gonna open right up and there was a bar in IT. I thought, you know, if I don't get in this room in this house tonight right now, i'm never going good chance to do IT. So I decided to try one more time. And I went to go try to push the matter open and just slit right of them magically. I mean, IT was the weird thing .
I mean you to before.
and I can do IT. IT would not open. I would not always said it's slip magically. I mean, I I went to myself, oh, like that and I had used from celebrity and I said, okay, here goes, you know, I knew that I just feel like my sister was assisting me.
The silence of the empty house was zero but as he opened the door for her brother rick, they were assaulted by an unusual .
order immediately when the door opens the place. Weeks of like a pine cleaner or he'd been cleaning, you know and there was a um carpet shampoo right in from the front door so we knew that was a bad .
sign right there to reset tentatively walk through the apartment, afraid of what you might .
find first, SHE noticed that he was not sleeping in the bed. He had a little bed made on the floor in the spare bedroom, so we knew he had been sleeping there, thought strange. So then three, he noticed that the bed was not made like IT Normally was. You said you were standing by the matches thinking.
i'm just to be here .
and I don't even know what I expected to see, but something told me to look there. So I started .
tripping the bed. You're tearing away at the bed without really knowing why I felt like.
why aren't I seeing anything? So I went over to the side of the matches and put my hands and needs to push IT up to look between and with all wet and between the mattresses. And I went really common and helpme, please, the mattress are all wet, and I was almost crying. He picked up the mattress and blood with everywhere on both sides, just soaking wet with blood. And I just start scream, ming and I ran all the department and IT was, um I knew of course he was that there's no dt.
that was what was the feeling that made you so certain .
I felt her spirit just coming grasp upon me. And when I ran out that door, I knew that I had to get the cup there in and find out the truth.
Series is discovery, gain police the grounds they need to get a search ward for Prices on what they found was not only was the mattress bloody, but blood spattered, were picked up on walls, the chest of draws and other betting. Rosemary war was the lead investigator. What is this any we, you see that kind of evident?
Well, that tells us that someone was finally assaulted in that room because of the cast stuff and the the pattern that the blood left on the further ure and also on the walls.
But D, N, A testing a blood can sometimes take months. Police, of course, at their suspicions, especially when cleaning materials were found, have this fat has been arrest? Wait away.
There were, and what appeared to be evidence of him trying to clean, you know, the room washed, the walls stand, and but IT didn't take away the blood evidence that .
was still there. But stoma told police he had no idea where lisa was right on you. After all, he said he was leaving him and about the blood, he had an explanation for that too.
He remembered a time that too long before he came up missing, that he had a pretty heavy nose bleeding. And that was his reason for the blood being on the mattress.
The story, which Frankly, the police were not inclined to buy.
I was not convinced that he didn't. You know that something terrible didn't happen to lisa that night. There was just too much evidence, physical evidence, in his statements. H did not seem to be that of A A husband that was deeply concerned about his wife, somebody that he was supposed to love and was the mother of his children. His reaction to everything that occurred just didn't seem right.
So why not take you into custody at that time?
Well, you have to have more than just a good feeling to make an arrest for a murder. Um you have to have probable cause and you have to have your evidence and you only get one shot taken a case to the to trial .
and we weren't gona blow IT and what kind of a case do they have anyway? At least a sea boat, even dead without dnb s. Police couldn't be sure the blood was.
In fact, this is, there was no weapon, no body. Yes, lisa was missing that. Remember, SHE had been known to disappear before.
He was, to say the least, unpredictable. What if they charge bridge Thomas with murder? And then lisa showed up alive?
We sent teletyped nationwide to have other unfortunate agencies check their database to see if they had had contact with her. And we had to do everything that we could to show that SHE SHE didn't exist anymore.
And anyway, even terresa was having second thoughts about the main suspect. SHE wavered a little. Brice insisted on his innocence, even established in eight hundred number. And bag people to call with information about lisa IT was Frankly confusing. IT looks really .
hard because I was like, I was playing the finger at somebody I loved, you know, as like a brother.
And so police went on on dredging the depth for secrets at least have been dumped in, some abandoned, whe overall, brice did know where something could be hidden, but the only fine came above ground, and IT wasn't pleasant. The cops went door to door around least his old hats and discover SHE had been using Crystal myth, have been drawn into the drug underworld, have been seeing some very dangerous people who did not seem anxious to CoOperate with police.
The cups to tell me they're left business cards on, you know, people screen door and stuff and they were never contacted.
Six long months passed each month worse than the last. The fear and gut. We're almost over powers.
And does. I used to have.
and that I .
couldn't but myself in front of her to protect her from being killed. I should be the one to jump in front of her and be the one to be killed rather than.
In her heart to recent, knew if anyone was going to unearth the secret of what had happened to her sister, IT would have to be her. Once again, he decided to take matters into her own hands. SHE was about to go undercover as her own sister. IT was a decision that would almost cost .

let's drive.
What happened to least Thomas? what? Because a thirty six year old woman, a mother of two little girls, to vanish of thin air murder? He looked that way, but there was no body, no weapon.
Certainly, her twin sister, terresa, was suspicious, but that didn't give police much to go on. At least husband brize killed her in a jealous rage. He insisted he had nothing to do with IT and to reise spy rolled into a deep depression.
I was desperate, defined her body, and they also told me that they can do anything until the body was found.
But finding a body and Bakers fuel california posed a particularly daunting chAllenge. IT happens to be the cradle of the west coasts oil business over a century. Thousands of walls have been barred into the pool of oil down below many of them now, just deep holes long since abandoned, as Price Thomas, the oil worker are, knew very well was lisa in one of them.
And so for he sent down probes into the dark. They plumbed the death of a local equidem of nearby rivers, and they found nothing every lead, the dry hole, the investigation seemed to stall. Weeks went by.
Tourists began to second guest, the police. Did they think lisa wasn't worth IT? My feeling .
about IT was that because of leases background, because he wasn't exactly the doctor's wife, they didn't find her crime to be that high on the list of priorities.
Remember that DNA had been set away months earlier and still no results.
Sometimes the walls of justice work slowly.
How did really respond that?
Well, tourists didn't quite understand the way the justice system works, and he tried to be very helpful, but he wanted immediate results .
and he was I remember um one .
time the district attorney y said the .
trees of was driving .
your nuts because I was a daily thing where treasure was um want to know what was going forward with the investigation and SHE wasn't patient with IT. So SHE basically took the investigation on all herself.
Half a year had passed the reason, could no longer sit and wait for results. SHE had to do something. SHE distributed posters created her own special twin hot line.
SHE tested her local newspapers to keep the story alive. SHE even arranged for coverage on national T. V. Private investigators, search and rescue teams and even psychic were brought in, and they were organizing for rays into the endless oil fields.
I would be right there in front leading a pack, and I would go, go, or someone that finds that, you know, IT would kill me. And I would see you like that.
Did you feel as if you go crazy if you didn't find out?
Yes, I do. I thought I could live.
And then to lisa, decided he would have to get down there in the mug, go to the very places where lisa had spent her last days. Remember, police have discovered that lisa had been using meh, had been hanging out with a rogues gallery of drug dealers. But for the police, getting access to that bunch had been impossible.
They were even open the door to the cops. They won't have been. In fact, they'd just like, like.
they weren't home probably. But what if they knew something? Maybe there, we decided there was one way to find out. Tell me, how was that, that you decided to play the part of your sister?
I needed to find out as much about her life at that time as I could. So I decided that the best thing for me to do is just try to pretend like i'm lisa as much as I can. So they would open up to me like .
that they would hurt if anyone understood lisa inside and out. IT was a twin sister. They were n identical twins. But sure, he got assume her sister's identity like a second scheme, and maybe unlock the mystery of her disappearance. Remember to risa had always been the good twin now, now he would be as wild as lisa SHE, traded her genes for short skirt, painted her face and like a stranger in a strange land to resa, walked into the smoky bars of biggest field undercover.
I would take beer. I D never beer. And I try 手机 just like her。 I even tried to have my secret like her. IT worked beautifully.
What was your assessment of how dangerous for her?
Well, he was dealing with drug users and people that had criminal background ounds people that had been in custody for different crimes and um you know he was just trying to find the answers and they didn't matter matter to her that SHE was having contact with these type of individuals know I causing me a number of times to, you know, be careful and not to go go in the situations that may cause harm to her. But you know he was on a mission .
over times when trees that would disappear and and I won't hear from her for days, you know, I just had to say my prayers, and I hear from her again in .
that dangerous world, to reset, be friend at anyone who may have known her sister in her last weeks. SHE was frightened, but not exactly alone.
No dead is, I feel, is my sister, pending me things. And I think that he realized to that point that to fight and find out something, I was just .
gonna go crazy SHE cruizing the bar, a small talk with criminal, what could they tell you? Or how could they help?
And one of the things that they tell opened up to that what happened the night before SHE died.
SHE heard that lisa and rice had met with a well known drug dealer. The night before lisa disappeared, SHE managed to a range of meeting with that drug dealer. And when he arrived, was met by gun toting body guards and a private layer that looked like a scene from a bad ganger .
movie was like he had all these metal boxes and shelvings and and stuff to protect him from anybody getting to him like a shield from weapons or something. He was weird and he had uh monitors of every single um angle from his house, from the outside so he could watch everything going around his house. And he had guys at the doors with guns. IT was a scarious moment of my entire .
life to do you think that maybe these people had something to do?
Most definitely, you should see there was vents around and there was bullet, say, and bulls like that. Like you'd have.
you know, people's me about build .
your sister .
as scared as he was. SHE wasn't too scared to get what you came for information about her sister's last hours. The dealer confirmed that he and his girlfriend had visited list and brised around ten P. M. The night before her disappearance.
Price was out on their balcony and he had a gun in his belt, kind of, you know, like stuck behind here, which was unusual for me. Even have a gun out of gun, period. I didn't know thing about IT, and he also was acting very funny.
According to the story, the whole group, bryce, include a got high and Crystal math. But something about this is the mini was unusual. SHE was less.
This rogne almost helpless, not her usual math high at all, to recent listen to the story and wondered r had bice a dated her sister, making her powerlift to resist a coming attack. So why were you able to find these things? That said and found.
I I truly believe that throughout this whole ordeal, that my sister was guiding me and communicating with me from the other side, I felt, and I was never ended this kind of thing. I was even a believer in IT, you know, that is, speaking to the data, whatever. I was not a believer in any of this.
Terresa went to police and told them the stories she'd heard. But remember, these weren't hard fact. Much of IT was here, say, but now there were more witnesses to check out.
And then disaster. Somehow we're got back to our source. In the drug hangout, terresa was a police informed her cover was blown. How do those people feel about you're having infiltrated their world?
I think I was shot at the next day.
The reason ebl had gone to Helen back in a desperate search for her twin sister, lisa had scar the sunmeal neighborhoods of Bakers field, california, had entered her sister's world that dally with drug dealers and moll light bugs. And then her cover was blown. Her new friends in the drug world learned SHE gone to the cops that they were not happy was made frighteningly clear a few days later as he drove down the freeway.
But I tell you, when I got shot at going down the freeway, I learned i've felt like I was rock food, you know, and I had to lose the person to keep from and killed early.
That just happens in the movies.
We saw the bullet, you know, the bullets on, we heard them. They, they passed us. We were in on freeway sixty five, seven months, and I heard to to go past my ear. So whatever, IT was definitely someone chasing.
IT certainly seemed like leases. Friends had something to hide one by one. They were brought in for questioning, but no matter how many weren't interrogated, all leads get pointed to one person.
IT was bice. That's where we kept coming back to.
even though you'd question .
some .
C D characters. yes. Then finally, a break after ten months, the D, N, A results from the patterns of blood in the bedroom were back. The result there was a ninety nine point eight six probability. IT was leases blood. The DNA results, along with the crime scene evidence, convinced police they now had enough to charge brice Thomas with the murder of his wife lisa. After an excruciating weight, a warrant went out for his arrest, and rice Thomas had vanished what had happened to him .
about three weeks prior to the rest, he decided to relocate to encourage all asa and live with his mother.
Police did find Thomas and encourage, and after much legal wrangling, he was extradited to california. But the biggest chAllenge is yet to come. Now you have to go to trial and you're nobody. Um it's taking you a long time to prove for certain that he was even dead. That must be a difficult case to prove .
like a general rule circumstantial evidence cases you know difficult IT is a difficult case to to put on to win.
The trial lasted three weeks, despite cheeses hard work. The case was far from a sure thing.
You just can prove guilt without a body. And so the whole town, including the D. S. Office, and everybody said they're going to have no guilty version.
The offense at the current county courthouse painted brice Thomas is a hard working husband and father whose willful wife had spiral out of the control. He just woke up one morning and found her gone. IT was lisa who had the bad reputation, said that the fans, not Price. And sure enough, SHE was known as somebody who could be wild, but the prosecution painted a very different porter of rice.
Thomas. He had a side that he would show at work as the upstanding, stable, good guy. And then he had the dark side that he kept from everyone.
IT was not in common for him to go through her things, to follow her when he went places, to put the recording devices in her vehicle, to take conversations that you might have with friends or you, possibly another man.
The prosecution argued that the apparently quiet, steady rice was filled with rage at his wife last infidelity. Several friends testified by a threatened leases life on more than one occasion, even saying he would kill her first before he could leave.
In testimony from another friend told that even more frightening story that because IT offered a friend five thousand dollars, kill, this is boyfriend, but I would be to reshape self who offered perhaps the most damming testimony. In showing detail, SHE recalled her discovery of the bloody mattress and lisa embrace bedroom. SHE also recounted what he had learned on her journey to the dark side of Bakersfield, release a had spent her last days and night for over ten hours. Her rest recounted what she's found in her zeller shirt for her .
sister trees that was so overwhelming convincing .
as a witness, but testifying against her brother and law was devastating.
Worst week of my life, I totally fell apart. The first half hour on the stand tolly fell apart. I I can stop crying and um I was the first to my scene and of course my chair was like pointed, right adding even I tried not to look at. I felt very guilty guilty IT was like telling on my brother or sister. I was like telling on somebody that I really cared about.
And if terresa was conflicted, the jurors were facing their own dilema how to return a murdered verdict without a body or even A. And so the jury work through the case, digging down, trying to find the truth about what had happened. The leases, he point IT, would take three days for the jury to reach a decision.
I was walking inside the courtroom, and they were coming out of the courtroom and someone yelled, tracing, tracing. Guilty or something like that. They, yours, my name, and said, guilty.
SHE had done IT. SHE had made a difference. Rice Thomas was found guilty of second degree murder. He was seventeen to fifteen years in prison. And the two year nightmare, IT seemed, was over, so telling how I felt like the .
world was looked off my shoulders completely. I felt so light finally, because everything felt so heavy before that, and I felt, you know, my hard work finally paid off, and that IT was just a good thing. I didn't give up.
But sometimes murder cases are not so easy to button up, all need and tidy. Yes, Thomas was behind bars for now, but he wasn't finished with teressa.

Rice Thomas had been found guilty of brutally murdering his wife lisa, the key witness against him, her twin sister Teresa. Justice was finally done, or was IT. No sooner had the verdict delivered them, one of the jurors stepped forward with the problem.
Oh, there was a jury that was trying to do a, uh, this trial claiming that there was jamous conduct .
he would have got at a person yeah, on a mister one jury insisted that her fellow panel is had not follow the judges instructions. Lawyers and judges return to court to wrangle over the jurors allegation. Thomas remained prison while his lawyers tried to secure a mistier, but Thomas did not simply sit in his jail cell and wait works Better around the prison that Thomas wanted a favor and only a certain kind of person could do IT for him.
So while he was incarcerated in prison, he set up a ten thousand dollar hit on trees.
If there was a new trial to reason, would again be the prime prosecution witness. So in prison, Thomas wait a few useful friends who approached a very large, very tough hit man. What did they tell you they needed? They told me they needed somebody a to act as a professional murder, otherwise known as a hit man.
What Thomas didn't know was that the hit man was actually jr. Rudi, guess then an undercover industry tor for the current catty sherise department. Skillfully, Rodriguez adopted the guys of garo.
A killer was no conscience. A phone call was arranged between girl and brice. Rodriguez's instructions were very clear. He had to walk a verbal type rope reading in information without tipping his end. The phone call the brace made was secretly recorded .
looking a way to get out. He is prime witness without earthy and ose. Because lot of hell in my life took my kids from me everything else.
So you just want to member what is? I wanted this here, but I could make that happen. But, you know, you got to pay without a trace.
No, how much? You can know how hard maybe got ten, ten thousand. Now I can do that, that you will take me a while to do.
Unaware that he's being recorded, Thomas negotiates. He thinks he's arranging a murder for less money down that you would take to buy a used car.
Maybe I can come up with a few hundred battle I come up with right now and you'll have to leave my grandma out about.
no question, what he wanted you to do. yes. Or what does that feel like? insight. Like I said, he was chilling to have somebody, want somebody killed. Number one.
And number two, in the matter that the body would be found, the voices on the taper, almost casual, like a couple of man planning a surprise party. Price tells her rig he wants to reca killed in her sleep.
