Deep dives
The Tragic Accident
In the 1950s, a devastating accident occurs where three children, Joanna, Jacqueline, and their friend Anthony, are struck and killed by a car while walking to church in England. Joanna and Jacqueline, sisters, possessed a profound bond, with Joanna especially caring and creative, while the friend Anthony died in the hospital soon after. The driver of the car, Marjorie, was possibly influenced by grief and drove erratically, resulting in this tragic loss.
Rebirth of the Pollock Twins
After the accident, John and Florence Pollock, the parents who believed in reincarnation, faced immense grief. Struggling to cope with the loss of their daughters, Joanna and Jacqueline, they surprisingly conceived twin daughters, Gillian and Jennifer. In a series of uncanny coincidences, the new sisters exhibited distinct birthmarks mirroring those of the deceased siblings, sparking intrigue and curiosity.
Eerie Resemblances
Jennifer, one of the new twin sisters, displayed birthmarks and scars matching exact locations and patterns of wounds that the deceased Jacqueline had. From a scar above the eye to three birthmarks near the nose identical to Jacqueline's previous injuries, the similarities between Jennifer and her late sibling were uncanny and unexplainable.
Mysterious Parallels
Gillian and Jennifer also demonstrated behavioral resemblances to the deceased sisters, with shared features like a split-footed walk resembling traits of the deceased Joanna. These bizarre parallels and shared traits between the original Pollock sisters and the new twins left many pondering the mysteries of life and reincarnation.
Discovery of a Second Barrel
In an unexpected turn of events, a new investigator revisiting a cold case in Allenstown, New Hampshire discovers a second barrel of skeletal remains in the same area where a previous barrel had been found 15 years earlier. The second barrel also contained remains of victims, this time young girls aged one to four years old, who had been killed by blunt force trauma like the previous victims.
Additional Victims Connected to Previous Murders
DNA analysis revealed that while three of the children found in the second barrel were related, one child had no DNA connection to the others, indicating a complex and disturbing series of crimes committed at the same location. The town is left horrified by the discovery of these additional victims, adding a new layer of mystery and tragedy to the ongoing investigation.
