If you had a secret identical twin, but was seperated at birth due to adoption. But found out many years into adult hood, how could this affect you?

 

I'm adopted for example, and don't know my birth parents, yet I've often wondered if I have other blood brothers and sisters.

But imagine the implications of having identical twins seperated at birth. The other twin could commit a serious crime and be wanted, then the police could arrest the wrong twin.

How would that pan out? How could you defend your innocent, especially if you didn't have a valid alibi?

Your fingerprints would not be the same.

What a silly fanciful hypothesis.

Speaking as an identical twin.

Question Author

Canary42, 

Why is it fanciful?

I could easily imagine as an adopted child myself, that if a woman had to give up identical twins, that there would be no guarantees the twins would both go to the same home. 

Lots of children in the 60's were adopted from Ireland to the UK. 

Potentially there could be hundreds, thousands or twins separated at birth. 

My original question is how would that affect you, in terms of mistaken identity basically, based on a crime commited or whatever, how the hell could you prove your innocent without a reasonable alibi? 

Question Author

THECORBYLOON, 

Finger prints wouldn't be the same, but if you looked identical to the person in question, they probably wouldn't even check that. 

It really would be a case of mistaken identity, its happened in real life before, so its not a silly question in my mind. 

Of course the police would check fingerprints, it is routine when anyone is arrested.

Sounds like a storyline for a book...

Just to being the safe side never be alone, document everything you do so you always have an alibi.
