#158 – The Tale of Brother vs. Brother: When Your Identical Twin is a Sexual Predator [Vacation Series]

The Case Of Twin Brothers Darrin And Damien Fernandez - One Of Whom Is a Serial Sexual Predator; Both Of Whom Point The Finger At Each Other As Being The Rapist

**KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DETAILS INVOLVING SEXUAL ASSAULT AND MAY BE DISTURBING FOR SOME LISTENERS.  YOU WILL BE PROMPTED TO SKIP TWO SECTIONS OF THIS EPISODE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO BYPASS THE MOST GRAPHIC DETAILS.  LISTENER DISCRETION IS  ADVISED.  In 2000 and 2001, a serial rapist was sneaking into women’s houses at night, gaining entry through their window.  On his third attempt to get into a home to attack yet another woman, he was arrested as he tried to flee.  Having injured himself in his attempts to get in her window, he cut himself, leaving blood on her windowsill.  When the DNA was entered into the database, it came back as a match to DNA collected from the two previous rapes in the area, to a man named Darrin Fernandez.  But there was a catch…Darrin has an identical twin brother named Damien.  And they would end up pointing the finger at one another as the perpetrator of these crimes.
