Introducing: My Mother's Lies

In the summer of 2000, Jessica Currin was found murdered in a small Kentucky town.

Introducing - Blood Will Tell

Sharing a special episode this week from a new podcast called Blood Will Tell. When a birthday party in suburban San Jose turns deadly, 18-year-old identical twins are arrested for suspected murder. One brother spends nearly two years in jail before the truth comes out: authorities locked up the wrong twin. How could one brother let his twin take the fall? And why would the other sacrifice his freedom for a crime he didn’t commit? Blood Will Tell is a modern-day saga of Shakespearean proportions, following Vietnamese-American brothers whose unbreakable bond is tested by silence, sacrifice, and an unthinkable choice.  In this episode, after a drunken fight at a birthday party turns deadly, police narrow in on two suspects — identical twin brothers, Trung and Anh. But when an eye witness mistakes the brothers for each other in a lineup, one brother must make a heartbreaking sacrifice.  Listen to more episodes of Blood Will Tell at https://wondery.com/shows/blood-will-tell/ [https://wondery.com/shows/blood-will-tell/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
