Charges Dropped Against Woman Who Drove Off Hawaiian Cliff, Killing Twin Sister

The twins were born in Utica, N.Y., and moved to Palm Beach, Fla., in 2008. They opened a couple of yoga studios before vanishing in 2014 and reappearing in Park City, Utah.

UPDATE JUNE 9: The second-degree murder charge against Alexandria Duval, formerly Alison Dadow, has been dropped. The judge said prosecutors did not present enough evidence, and ordered for her release, according to the Palm Beach Post.

A bizarre tragedy has led to a second-degree murder charge for one woman from Haiku, Hawaii, who prosecutors say intentionally drove off a cliff, killing her twin sister.

On May 29, 37-year-old Alexandria Duval, aka Alison Dadow, was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center in critical condition after her car was reported by witnesses to have driven off a cliff in Maui—her sister, Anastasia Duval, aka Ann Dadow, was killed instantly in the crash.

Alison is now facing second-degree murder charges and has been denied bail after attempting to leave the island on June 1, according to a Palm Beach Post report. She was arrested before her second attempt to fly out of Kahului, and is deemed a flight risk.

Alison is expected to appear in court for a follow up hearing on June 8.
