Where are Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead now?
Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead are twin sisters who grew up in Conyers, Georgia, with their mother, Jarmecca "Nikki" Whitehead.
In 2010, 'Tas' and 'Jas,' flagged down police after allegedly finding their mother dead in their home.
Four years later, both Tasmiyah and Jasmiyah were sentenced to 30 years in prison after confessing to the murder of their mother and signing a plea agreement.
Tas and Jas pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, making false statements, and the possession of a knife during the crime.

Tasmiyah is currently serving her sentence at Arrendale State Prison, while Jasmiyah is serving her time at Pulaski State Prison, according to 11Alive.
What did the twins do to their mother?
On January 13, 2010, Tas and Jas claimed they had found their mother dead at the crime scene.
According to 11Alive, Conyers police found their mother, Jarmecca, submerged in a bathtub after being brutally attacked.
"It was the bloodiest scene I think I've ever been to," said Lt Chris Moon of the Conyers Police Department.

"As soon as you opened the door, you could smell the blood, the copper iron smell in the air."
At the time, Tasmiyah and Jasmiyah who were only 16 years old, were taken into questioning by the police.
They claimed that the scratch and bite marks on their bodies were "self-inflicted" due to a "nervous reaction they would have," said Lt Moon.
Jas did, however, admit to touching her 34-year-old mother's dead body, according to the open records obtained by 11Alive.
"I went into her room and I saw blood all over the floor and I went in there and I seen her and I touched her," she said.
After an intense investigation, the story just did not add up to the police and the two were arrested four months after their questioning.
