This inconsistency in response was reflected by Tuesday's review, performed by researchers at the U.K. Cochrane Collaboration Centre.

Can You Identify a False Confession?
|
Wayne and Sharmon Stock were found viciously murdered in their Nebraska farmhouse, apparently killed on Easter Sunday, 2006. The tiny town of Murdock, Nebr., where many hadn't locked their doors for years, was in utter disbelief. But soon there would be two bewilderingly different first-hand accounts of the murder. Two videotaped confessions -- by completely different people. One would turn out to be totally innocent. Can you tell which is which? Watch 20/20 Friday at 10 p.m. ET for the answer.

Tanzanian With Albinism Gets New Arms
|
Persons with albinism, like 28-year-old single mother Mariamu Staford, are being hunted down and murdered; their bodies sold on the black market and used in witchdoctor potions, all because of a superstitious belief that the limbs of albinos possess special powers. Nearly 60 albinos have been murdered in the last three years. Both of Staford's arms were chopped off in the vicious attack, which left her unable to feed or clothe herself, or care for her young son. Staford comes to the United States with help from ABC News and gets fitted for a custom set of prosthetic limbs.
