Killer Twins - The Spahalski Brothers - Part 1

About this episode

The episode explores the shocking crimes committed by the Spahalski brothers, revealing a hidden connection between their cases.

In 1971, 16 year old Stephen Spahalski killed a man in Elmira, New York and was sent to prison, in a case that seemed shocking but contained. But nearly two decades later, in Rochester, a different story was quietly unfolding. Between 1990 and 2005, four people would be murdered in separate incidents, each one investigated on its own, each one going unsolved, and none of them connected at the time. For years, the truth remained buried in those cases, until a confession in 2005 finally brought everything together, revealing that the killer was Stephen’s twin brother, Robert, and that the story of the Spahalski brothers was far from over.
