However, when babies as young as seven months old began mysteriously dying on a British hospital ward, suspicions fell to one nurse in particular.

The Silent Twins
Growing up in an all-white town, June & Jennifer were subject to constant teasing by their cruel classmates. Hurt from the bullying, the girls made a pact to never speak again. However, their years of ostracization resulted in boredom, and the twins soon fell into a life of crime. Ultimately, their lifetime of mutism ended with a bizarre tragedy that has not been fully understood to this day.

How can somebody have three names, and no identity? That's exactly what happened in Collier County, Florida, in 2018. When news broke that a body had been found off the Appalachian Trail, people instantly recognised the decedent as the friendly hiker they all knew and loved. Trouble is, nobody knows his name.
