Albany, N.Y. » A woman accused of killing her twin sister by driving their vehicle off a Hawaii cliff in May was being held today in a New York jail after being charged with murder for the second time in the case, authorities said.
New York State Police announced over the weekend that Alexandria Duval, 38, was arrested Friday after she was tracked down at an Albany home.
Police say Duval tried to flee when they spotted her outside the residence, but she was soon caught.
The arrest came after a warrant was issued for Duval’s arrest when a grand jury in Hawaii indicted her on a second-degree murder charge last month.
Maui Prosecuting Attorney John Kim said he could not comment on the case because the indictment was sealed.
Late today, a Hawaii court made the indictment public, but Kim could not immediately be reached for comment. The indictment was filed on Oct. 31, but it was only released today after New York state police arrested Alexandria Duval on Friday.
Authorities on Maui said Alexandria was driving a Ford Explorer on Hana Highway on May 29 with her sister Anastasia Duval in the passenger seat when the SUV crashed into a rock wall and plunged about 200 feet onto a rocky shoreline during what authorities described as a hair-pulling fight over the steering wheel.
Anastasia Duval was killed, and Alexandria was injured. Alexandria was arrested and jailed then on a second-degree murder charge, accused of deliberately causing her sister’s death.
A judge later ordered the release of Alexandria after determining there was no probable cause for a murder charge.
She was later indicted on the charge.
In August, Duval was arrested in upstate New York on a drunken driving charge after authorities say she nearly struck a vehicle driven by a state police investigator. She was released about three weeks later.
Duval was being held in Albany County Jail awaiting extradition to Hawaii.
The Duval sisters, born Alison and Ann Dadow in the Utica, New York, area, operated popular yoga studios in Palm Beach County, Florida, from 2008 to 2014 before they changed their names. They moved to Hawaii in December 2015 from Utah.
Karma? or !
She is just an evil twin. Put her away.
Not so fast, if she was the better looking of the twins then she should be given a break. She is only helping to #MAGA.
Hopefully she either gets locked away for life or dies soon. Death or imprisonment is the only solution for lowlife trash like this. This is not a one time thing, as she’s already shown numerous times in the past that she has no problem putting innocent lives in danger. No mercy for this pond scum.
It will be interesting to see if the prosecution can convict her of murder as the defense will claim the crash was the result of her fighting with her sister…..
She looks like she has been using some chemicals over a prolonged period of time.
Somehow I doubt she gets any real extended time in jail. Just keep her away from Hawaii. Let her live her destructive life anywhere but here.
psychooooooo
Waste of our money. There is no Public interest to prosecute that fool.
How can anybody say that she murdered her sister? Maybe her sister tried to murder her. In any case, they both were in the vehicle when it plunged off the cliff – why would a murderer go off a cliff with the victim? Any decent attorney will get her off a murder charge.
