Patty And Selma, The Later Years
-
Two elderly sisters -- twins -- died in the Lake Tahoe area, and police have released their identities before notifying their family, a break with protocol prompted by a sad fact: The police can't find any relatives of the women. It's a weird story: The women were entertainers when young, appearing on Spade Cooley's KTLA/Los Angeles TV show in the 1950s (for another weird story, go Google Spade Cooley, who went from country and TV star to convicted murderer, then died backstage after playing a comeback show shortly before he was to be paroled). They never married and were dependent on each other for their whole lives. They may have relatives, but nobody seems to be able to ascertain who they would be. And they died of apparent natural causes, probably withing a short time of each other. Talk about a mystery. (KNTV/San Jose-San Francisco)
