Convicted Off a Dream- The Ryan Ferguson Case


Listen Later

When 48 year old Kent Heitholt is found bludgeoned and strangled next to his car the small town of Columbia Missouri is shocked.

The case stays cold for two years until an anonymous phone call comes into crime stoppers.  The voice on the other end of line says they know who killed Kent.

This new lead brings detectives to now 19 year old Chuck Erickson who says that he dreamt both him and his friend Ryan Ferguson had murdered the beloved sports reporter.

Ryan and Chuck are convicted of murder- BUT- were Chuck's dreams real memories of a gruesome murder or did his dreams just send two innocent men to prison?
