>> and according to federico, alexandria wanted to do more than just kill anastasia. >> she said, don't forget, we're leaving planet on the 30th. >> are you then inferring leaving planet is. i'm going to die. >> i immediately suspected that they were planning on doing suicide. >> coming up, cops say it wasn't a suicide pact gone wrong and charge alexandria with murdering her sister. but can they prove it? >> i was running our own family business, and then covid hit. then we had almost nothing. >> i had tens of thousands of dollars hanging over my head, working full time, oftentimes multiple jobs. >> i had over $43,000 in debt. that's when i called national debt relief. >> there was hope that came from that call. >> all those feelings of shame really evaporated. >> they treated me like a real person, not a number. >> whether it's credit card, medical or personal loan debt,

1:51 pm
knew it would be deadly. alexandria duval, driver in the crash that killed her twin sister anastasia, is awake in a maui hospital, but she isn't talking to police, so forensic investigators recreate the fateful plunge that killed anastasia to determine if it was all a drunken accident or something even worse. maui accident investigators sergeant lawrence beecroft and i went back to the crash scene. >> i saw these two marks. and these marks are unique. very unique. when i saw these. these are not breaking. these were your marks. >> beecroft says your marks are curved marks that show the driver likely made a very sharp turn. >> you could see the marks induced by steering. it was over. steering the vehicle could not steer any further than what it was. >> and when beecroft recovers the suv's data recorder, there was 100% acceleration. >> i believe it was up to three seconds prior to collision.

1:53 pm
she's wearing an orange jumpsuit and a sling on her broken arm. but after the evidence is presented, the judge makes a surprising decision. >> he basically states that we don't have enough probable cause to hold her for the murder charge, and releases her. >> the murder charge dismissed. alexandria now books a flight to new york state. but while she's there, another legal shocker the maui county grand jury indicts her. you want for a murder charge? but why didn't you also add perhaps other charges, like reckless driving, drunk driving? >> because the evidence was compelling that the suv was driven intentionally over the cliff. so that made it murder. >> but then a dramatic courtroom moment with anastasia's boyfriend, federico that raised eyebrows after i learned that she had died and i saw alexandra, i.
1:54 pm
>> i gave her a shower, washed her hair. we sat down after that. >> you heard right, federico bailey says after his girlfriend anastasia died, he gave a shower to twin sister alexandria. he then testified about some strange behavior. she's going home. >> alexandra house is closed. he put on a dress. by the fashion, and started dressing like her. >> did you question her about wearing anna's clothes? >> no, but i saw her in anastasia's dress. it was disturbing seeing. i see. alexandra and anastasia in the clothes that she was wearing, and it was kind of hard to distinguish, he said. i helped her shower. >> but alexandra's defense attorney lays the blame squarely on deceased twin anastasia, who he says caused her sister to
1:55 pm
crash by pulling her hair while she drove. >> we have evidence from the body, the autopsy. anastasia duval, in her hands, had long blond hair. she's pulling my client's hair so violently that it pulled her hair out. >> alexandra chose a bench trial, meaning the judge would decide the outcome. >> for me, one of the most dramatic pieces of evidence in this case is the hair. it's sitting right here on the bench. >> and when he announced the verdict, everyone was stunned. >> the defendant lost control of the vehicle and maybe she did input the left turn. she may have done that, but that's as a result of the evidence that shows her hair was being pulled and whatever happened, happened. >> she wasn't responsible for that. >> the court will enter a judgment of acquittal. the defendant is discharged.
1:56 pm
>> alexandra was free to go. is that a just verdict? no. were you disappointed? >> yes. and obviously i disagree. >> does that mean that you believe she got away with murder? is that. >> well, that's the fact. okay. she got away with murder. >> after her trial, alexandra moved back to the mainland. but her legal problems continued. in 2023, she was charged with driving while intoxicated after crashing another car in a field upstate new york. we'll be right back. >> this right here is confidence in a bottle. >> it makes me feel so much more confident than i have ever felt. >> they are some of the hottest videos on social media. those videos claiming to instantly get rid of bags under your eyes. annette figueroa is here to tell us why. she says this one is for real. >> this one is for real and i'm
