2 x 50″ Premium Doc Series
ITV (UK) & Network Seven (Australia)

From the missing body case of Lynette Dawson in Australia to the brutal killing in the US of the Whitehead sisters’ mother Nikki, Twisted Twins “finds out what happens when the intense bond between identical twins goes from close comradeship to curse and asks, could their unique relationship – or lack of individual identity – lead to deadly consequences?”

Using archive footage, forensic reports and first-person testimony, each episode explores a different twin true crime story “to examine whether the phenomenon of twinship influenced the dark events that unfolded.”

Twisted Twins investigates the true story of the Atlanta teenage twin sisters Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead, convicted of killing their own mother. 

The series also charts the disappearance in 1982 of Lyn Dawson, a missing person case in New South Wales, Australia that went unsolved for over 35 years. When a chart-topping podcast sheds new light on Lyn’s story, previously unknown accusations are levelled against her husband Chris Dawson, and his identical twin brother, Paul, both former part-time models and professional Rugby League players. Through interviews with friends, family and those who knew them, this episode pieces together the events that led to Chris Dawson standing trial for his wife’s murder and explores allegations of historic sexual offences by the brothers.

This series offers a unique take on the psychology of identical twins and a singular twist on the crime genre – offering a double layer of impact and insight.
