Scott Falater killed his wife \u2014 that much we know is true. He stabbed Yarmila dozens of times, then held her underwater. Afterward, he hid the murder weapon and his bloody clothes. When police arrived on the scene, Scott was dazed. He said he wasn\u2019t sure what had happened. He didn\u2019t remember a thing. He would never have chosen to kill his wife. So he must have committed the murder while he was sleepwalking. Right?

Then Kristin tells us about a phone call that a self-proclaimed police officer made to a McDonalds in Mount Washington, Kentucky. A man who called himself \u201cOfficer Scott\u201d told assistant manager Donna Summers that he was investigating a theft. A McDonald\u2019s employee had stolen a customer\u2019s purse. He described the suspect, and Donna offered a name. It had to be Louise Ogborn, the 18-year-old high school senior. Donna brought Louise into the office and followed Officer Scott\u2019s increasingly odd instructions.

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
