Скачать или смотреть 44 Stabs, One Sleepwalker, No Guilt? The Verdict

Journey into the quiet, upscale suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, where a brutal crime occurred within the Faylater family home in January 1997. This true crime documentary reconstructs the events of that night, using forensic science to piece together the evidence. We explore the criminal psychology behind such acts and the meticulous crime scene investigation that follows, seeking answers in this unsettling cold case.
A devoted Mormon husband stabs his wife 44 times and holds her head underwater. When police arrive, he is confused, wearing pajamas, and claims he was asleep the whole time. Is Scott Falater a cold-blooded killer or a victim of his own brain?

In this episode of The Motive, we analyze the bizarre and terrifying case of The Sleepwalking Killer. In 1997, Scott Falater was seen by a neighbor dragging his wife, Yarmila, to their backyard pool. The witness described Scott’s movements as "robotic" and emotionless.

Scott’s defense was Homicidal Somnambulism: the theory that he committed the murder while in a deep state of sleep, triggered by stress and sleep deprivation. But if he was asleep, how did he manage to hide the bloody knife in his Volvo and stash his clothes in the spare tire well?

We dissect the science of sleep and the evidence of guilt:

The "Robot" Witness: Analyzing the neighbor's chilling testimony about Scott’s mechanical behavior.

The Timeline: 44 stab wounds, a pause, and then the drowning. Can a sleepwalker execute such a complex sequence of violence?

The "Conscious" Actions: The biggest hole in the defense—hiding the evidence. Does the sleeping brain understand "guilt"?

The Verdict: The courtroom battle between sleep experts and prosecutors that decided Scott’s fate.

This is a deep dive into the darkest corners of the human subconscious.
