A real-life crime spree in Fremont County will be the focus of a television program airing tomorrow night on evil twins. In 2001, Joel and Michael Stovall killed Fremont County Sheriff's deputy Jason Schwartz. During a manhunt the twins also opened fire on an officer from Florence. Toby Bethel was paralyzed.
The Investigation Discovery channel talked to the Fremont County Sheriff and others for a series called Evil Twins. "I hope once again that it just brings out some of the detail of the event and hopefully it won't give those two individuals more notoriety but it's just an event we don't want to ever forget," said Sheriff Jim Beicker.
The Stovall's are currently serving a life sentence in prison.
If you'd like to catch the show, Evil Twins runs at 7 p.m. Wednesday on the Investigation Discovery channel.
