Fowler allegedly has told multiple stories about where the twins are, including that she sold them for $2,000 apiece.

In December, police searched the area behind a home in Braddock, where it's believed Fowler lived at one point. County Police say nothing was discovered.

Investigators have said they believe the twins are likely dead.

Patricia Fowler's brother is facing charges for allegedly lying to police when he pretended to be his missing brother.

Anyone with information on her location should contact the ACSO at 412-350-4714, acso@alleghenycourts.us or Inbox via Facebook.
