Awakening from Nightmare: The Murder Scott Claims He Forgot
What happens when a seemingly ordinary man is accused of a brutal crime he claims he can't remember? In the chilling case of Scott File, a woman was found dead in her backyard, and her husband stood confused at the top of the stairs, insisting everything was normal. How could a man who planned to teach a class the next morning be involved in such a horrific act?
In this episode, we delve into the haunting details of the murder of Yamala File, who was stabbed forty-four times and held underwater in her own pool. We explore the perplexing defense Scott used, claiming he had no conscious memory of the night his life changed forever. What truly transpired in the File household that fateful night?
