MISSING: The Millbrook Twins

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

When twin sisters Jeannette and Dannette Millbrook go missing in Augusta, Georgia, in 1990, police are quick to write them off as runaways…even though the signs point to something much more sinister.

And if not for a family that refused to give up… and a podcast that shed light on some of the injustices they’ve faced…nwe probably wouldn’t know anything about them. Because even though this is one of the only open cases of missing twins in the country… it took decades for them to get the national spotlight.
