Nearly 30 years ago, 15-year-old African American twins, Dannette and Jeannette Millbrook, vanished off the street near their home in Augusta, Georgia. Despite being one of the few cases of missing twins in American history, their disappearance gained little media attention and many question whether it was properly investigated.

The 2-hour special, The Disappearance of the Millbrook Twins, premieres Saturday, November 23 on Oxygen.

For decades, their family pleaded for help, but the case went cold.

Now, former federal prosecutor Laura Coates and former homicide detective Page Reynolds attempt to unravel the mysterious unsolved case in the hopes of finally finding justice for Dannette and Jeannette.

With rare access to the twins’ family, Laura and Page consult with various experts close to the case, speak with eyewitnesses and confront local law enforcement to finally give this case the attention it deserves.

From retracing the twins’ last known steps to following intriguing new leads, the series will take viewers on an unexpected journey and attempt to tackle the unanswered question: What happened to the Millbrook twins?

    I've just seen this episode on Oxygen TV. About the Milbrook Twins. There was mention of the twins being buried in that abandoned lot in a rough neighborhood. It had a trailer on it. ...a lead I believe. I missed the few moments just after the call from the prison. Did they ever considered sending Cadaver Dogs to search for any bodies? Since the sheriff's department has washed their hands of the case, are there Cadaver Dogs for hire? Another branch of the law that governs the use of Cadaver Dogs? Another county's team of Cadaver Dogs? Search and Rescue perhaps could donate time/dogs? If remains are found secure the scene, then have it processed properly. By a private source perhaps. Or a neighboring county so the investigation could remain unbiased. Proper so charges could be brought against and a conviction withheld. IF NOTHING ELSE IF THE VICTIM'S FAMILY COULD LIVE WITH NOT KNOWING WHO... PERHAPS A PRIVATE SEARCH COULD TAKE PLACE WITH CADAVER DOGS, DNA TESTS DONE ON THE REMAINS FOR NOTHING ELSE BUT FOR CLOSURE. CONFIRMATION THE GIRLS ARE INDEED GONE. THIS FAMILY NEEDS TO KNOW. THEY NEED THESE GIRLS HOME ONE LAST TIME. TO BE ABLE TO SAY GOODBYE TO THEM, TO LAY THEM TO REST. ANY THOUGHTS? CAN THIS BE COORDINATED EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS? Shoot! I'd be more than happy to volunteer my time and service to coordinate! Fly there personally!
