The truth behind the similar appearance of casting of three strangers

For the purpose of research, Robert, Eddy and David were taken to three different families without knowing they had brothers for 21 years.

The first day to Sullivan Community College in 1980, Robert Shafran felt like everyone knew him. Boys who don't know naturally come to pat their shoulders and talk and girls don't hesitate to kiss him.

Boarding the dorm room, Robert met Michael Domitz.

"Are you adopted? Is your date of birth July 12?" Michael immediately asked, his eyes astonished.

"That's right," replied Robert.

The answer made Michael even more surprised. More talk, Robert knew he was like Eddy Galland , Michael's former roommate who moved to another school. Robert breeds Eddy details from family circumstances, birth dates to voices, smiles, hair.

That day, Robert drove to Eddy and quickly realized they were twins. Besides the way of talking, the couple is "just like casting" about wrestling preferences and movies, body birthmarks and IQ 148. Even the first time they have sex coincides.

The strangeness doesn't stop here. A few months since the story was published by the local press, the young man named David Kellman studying at Queens University contacted Robert and Eddy. Set side by side, they are like three drops of water.

Turns out, Robert, Eddy and David are triplets. Confusing when even adoptive parents do not know anything about the remaining people, the three young people investigate together to discover the truth.

In fact, according to Independent, Robert, Eddy and David are in the study of Dr. Peter Neubauer, the Manhattan Center for Child Development Center. For the purpose of how the nutrition test affects maturity, the three brothers were separated to three completely different families at the age of six months. Specifically, David went to working-class families, Eddy to middle-class families, Robert to the upper-class family.

For 10 years, a team of experts visited Robert, Eddy and David under the direction of Dr. Neubauer. They conduct cognitive tests like quiz and drawing. All activities are filmed.

The results showed that the three brothers had behavioral disorders. As a child, both Robert, Eddy and David often banged their heads on the bed walls. Growing up, David and Eddy went to the mental hospital many times and Robert was placed under house arrest because of a murder."It is certainly a worry of being divided ," David later explained.

Reunited, the three brothers Robert, Eddy and David were overjoyed. They found their mother and cooperated to open a restaurant in 1988. However, happiness did not last long. In 1995, Eddy committed suicide at his home after struggling with bipolar disorder. The grief incident pushed Robert and David away.

Now, Robert becomes a lawyer and David works in life insurance. At the behest of Dr. Neubauer, who died in 2008, all documents related to the study of these three brothers were not published until 2065. The Manhattan Center for Child Development in the past is translated. Family and Jewish children also sent apologies to Robert and David.

In early 2018, the documentary about the lives of three brothers Robert, Eddy and David made its debut with the name Three identical strangers.
