“Officer, please … look this case deeper. I don’t care if you arrest me, but if you stop here, the real criminal will walk free. That family of three … they’ll have died for nothing.”
The way he looked at me changed instantly … his eyes filled with judgment, like he was staring at a remorseless killer.
“There are multiple eyewitnesses, physical evidence and the footage from your car’s dashcam." He added, "Everything clearly shows you were there. In such a short time, who do you think could fake all of that? If it wasn’t you behind the wheel, who was it? You have a long-lost twin or something?”
I also wondered who it was. If I had a twin sister, this whole thing would be easily resolved.
However, I knew for sure that I was the only child. My mother almost died giving birth to me and after that, my father had a vasectomy. There was no chance of some secret sibling showing up … much less one who looked and sounded exactly like me.
So, who was this woman pretending to be me? How could her voice be identical to me? To this day, I still do not have the answer.
I shook my head slowly in resignation. This made the crowd start throwing insults again.
