Great Minds Think...Alike?- Episode 56-Folie à Deux - Part 1

Great minds think alike is a saying often used when two people share the same thought or idea, but what happens when they share the same...delusion...crime...

Join Jules, Matt and Lisa in part one of our two part Folie à Deux series. Is this a real phenomenon or just an excuse for shared bad behavior? We discuss some of the lesser known Folie à Deux cases that involve siblings, entire families, couples, close friends, and a woman and her...dog?? The Tromp Family, Margaret and Michael, the Yogi Twins Alexandria and Anastasia Duval, Mr. and Mrs. A, The Toybox Killers - Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris... Are all of these people working in a shared delusion or could there be an alpha who takes advantage of those around them?
