DUNCAN, Oklahoma -- Police say a mother is in hot water after she married her own daughter.

Patricia Spann lost custody of her daughter Misty Spann and two other children when they were young.

The children were raised by their grandmother, and Patricia allegedly told police she didn't have any contact with her kids until two years ago.

But when they were reunited, Patricia claims she and Misty "hit it off."

Now, both women are in jail on charges of incest after getting married earlier this year.

In another twist, an investigation reveals Patricia Spann married her own son in 2008. Court records show Patricia sought an annulment for their marriage two years later.

Both women are being held on a $10,000 bond.

The District Attorney's office says this is one of the most bizarre cases he's seen in his entire career.

In Oklahoma, incest is a felony and those convicted could spend 10 years in prison.
