You know, it seems so implausible but there really are doppelgangers out there, though I doubt any would be able to fool a close family member.

Thanks for your fine review and good point about DNA complicating things nowadays. I'm curious how the imposter could pull off this impersonation so my guess is they were fraternal and not identical twins.
