Woman accused of killing her twin by driving car off Hawaii cliff
They were business playmates who traveled around the country together — but there was no sisterly love inbetween identical twins Alexandria and Anastasia Duval.
Last week they got into an intense argument on a Hawaiian highway. It got physical with hair pulling and ended with one sibling driving their car off the edge of a Maui cliff.
Alexandria was charged with second-degree murder on Monday for the death of her identical-twin sister, Anastasia.
The 37-year-old sisters were yoga entrepreneurs who once zipped around in Porsches while running two seemingly successful studios in the Palm Beach, Fla., area. But in 2014, the twins abruptly shuttered their studios and moved to Park City, Utah, where they attempted to begin again but ended up filing for bankruptcy.
They’d been living in Hawaii for less than six months when witnesses witnessed them screaming at each other inwards a white Ford Explorer stopped on the side of Maui’s winding Hana Highway on Sunday.
“I spotted a pair of mitts jerking the head, pulling the hair,” Lawrence Lau told KHON Two. “There were arms pulling her head down like this, and her head was jerking.”
He then witnessed their SUV accelerate and speed towards the edge of the cliff.
“My very first thought when she was coming past us was, ‘Don’t hit me, don’t hit me,’” he recalled. “She was doing forty miles an hour from a dead stop at that point.”
Lau told police that Alexandria, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, looked like she was in a “rage.”
The car made a acute left turn into a rock wall before plunging two hundred feet over the edge of a cliff.
Anastasia, who also goes by the name Ann Dadow, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her sister, who uses the alias Alison Dadow, refused to discuss the crash with cops and was taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to probable-cause documents filed in court.
Roadway debris and the SUV’s air-bag control module demonstrated that Alexandria never attempted to brake before their car flew off the cliff, the documents say.

A law-enforcement source familiar with the case said it could’ve been a murder-suicide attempt.
Alexandria showcased up to court with her arm in a sling, and a judge ordered that she be held without bail, her defense attorney, Todd Eddins, said.
He told Hawaii News Now that Alexandria was just attempting to attend her sister’s funeral in Fresh York — not leave the country.
“Alison did not attempt to harm herself or the person she most loved and was closest to in the world,” Eddins said in court. “They were in the process of building a business plan and were aspiring to open up studios here.”
What the twins were allegedly arguing about before the fatal crash remains a mystery — but the striking pair share a troubled past.
Until 2014, they ran two well-known yoga studios in Palm Beach, where they cruised around town in matching Porsches and shopped at expensive shops, according to the Starlet Advertiser, citing GossipExtra.
But they were living lives they couldn’t afford.
In 2014, the twins abruptly shuttered both studios, leaving employees and clients in the lurch, and left for Park City, Utah, where they commenced fresh with another studio, according to the Starlet Advertiser.
But that same year, they filed for Chapter seven bankruptcy protection, listing hundreds of thousand of dollars of debt, records display.
Both women have been in trouble with the law. Anastasia was busted for public intoxication, disorderly conduct, brunt on a cop and interference with an arrest on March Nineteen, 2014, the Starlet Advertiser reported.
She’d also been arrested in Florida for disorderly intoxication and battery in 2002, sources told The Post.
Alexandria has been arrested for allegedly defrauding an innkeeper, driving under the influence, public intoxication and fleeing the scene of an accident.
“It’s a blubbering shame,” a former neighbor in West Palm Beach told The Post.
“They were nice people. I don’t know what happened to them along the way, but I knew that they had a drinking problem. It was a big problem.”
