Was that the name of the guy on UM looking for his brother that lived close to him? If so Ijust saw a story on HLN that a guy named Jim Parsons found his brother after 75 years!

Yes there was a segment about a man trying to find a look alike twin, I think that was the name. Or it was Jim Boomgarden I'm not sure.

If there's a segment about a guy named Jim Parsons, I can't say I've ever heard of it, but I don't think we're talking about the Jim Boumgarden segment here, because, although he did have a twin brother, Jim Boumgarden died in 1997 at the age of 50, so he couldn't have found his brother after 75 years, and as far as I know I don't think the Boumgarden case was ever solved.

There was the other case of the two doppelgangers meeting at a train station during WWII. That's the first story that came to mind, but I checked in to this Jim Parsons case and it's certainly not anything that I recall seeing on UM.

Oh okay so that wasnt the same guy. I was wrong but it sounded similar.

Yes, this story and the other man who had a "twin" is interesting! Esp. since the latter always seem to miss his twin by minutes, lol. His own father thought it was his son. Hmmm.
