Simon Gann and Jordan Gann

Chronicles of longtime identical twin con men | Part Three early crimes

Long time con artists and identical twin brothers Simon Gann and Jordan Gann are proficient con artists who demonstrate a complete disregard of the women, and in some case even men, who they have scammed.

Jordan Gann reportedly has struggled on and off for years with a drug problem while Simon Gann claims to have Asperger’s disorder, a form of autism

The Gann twins, Simon Gann and Jordan Gann, were thrown out of the family home in 1999 when they were only 18 and apparently already had both been arrested on multiple breaking and entering charges in Methuen, Mass.

In July 1999, Jordan Gann was arrested in Salem, NH, after running from an officer. Gann says he had warrants in Massachusetts, which, apparently to him, justified why he ran.

That very same year they were also honing their criminal lifestyle.

Savannah Brodeur was only 15 years old when she met Simon Gann and Jordan Gann in New Hampshire. She later said the brothers lied to her. Nevertheless, she fell for the charms of Jordan Gann and has a daughter with him.

She even seemed to have sympathy for the Gann twins.

Brodeur said that Simon Gann and Jordan Gann tended to fend for themselves. She told the Tampa Bay Times that Simon Gann seemed to lie a lot but was nicer than Jordan Gann who was more distant.

One of the interesting things about some of the women conned by the Gann Brothers is that they stay in touch with them.

Brodeur got pregnant in 1999, at the super young age of 15, yet 4 years later in 2003, long after being ditched and left with a child, her number was found on a cell phone that Gann has used.

In August 2000: Jordan Gann was arrested in Nashua, NH, and charged with stalking a music store employee. He told her he was a 21-year-old attorney. Officers allegedly found pills on him, which he said were ecstasy.

On August 30, 2000, Jordan Gann was arrested, again in Nashua, NH. This time he was accused of stealing $1,600 from a woman. He told officers he spent it on court fines, bills, a leather jacket and shoes.

Toward the end of year, in December 2000, Nashua, NH police responded to call for help when Jordan told a woman he might kill himself if she didn’t drive him to Hudson, NH.

Somehow, he got away.

The Lawrence District Court in Massachusetts has records of criminal cases against Simon Gann and Jordan Gann; three criminal cases against Jordan and six cases against Simon, including an outstanding warrant from 2001 for failure to appear in court.

Even in their late teens and early twenties, the Gann Twins were well on their way to a life of crime.

Simon Gann and Jordan Gann had long since moved on after Jordan Gann impregnated the 15-year-old Brodeur and found another victim in Florida, Meredith Gavin.

Meredith Gavin has been one of the most outspoken victims and has been gracious enough to share some of her experiences with me, as well as providing valuable preventative tips and insights, which are discussed in more detail in upcoming parts.

She also provided information as well as links to videos and other valuable sources of research.

After Gavin was victimized, she went through her phone since Simon or Jordan Gann, she never has been really positive which Gann Twin she encountered, used her phone a lot.

Gavin called all the phone numbers that she was unfamiliar with. One of those numbers belonged to Brodeur, the 15 year old who was impregnated 4 years earlier, certainly indicating that, for whatever reasons, Brodeur indeed stayed in touch.
