Imagine waking up to finding your entire world shattered and being told you're the one who destroyed it. In 1997, Phoenix, Arizona was rocked by a gruesome and baffling crime.

Yarmula Falater, a devoted wife and mother, was found stabbed over 40 times and drowned in her own backyard pool. The suspect? Her husband, Scott Falater, a devout Mormon with no history of violence who claimed he had no memory of the attack. His defense? He was sleepwalking. Could someone really commit such a brutal murder while asleep?

Or was this a calculated cover-up cloaked in pseudoscience? This is the story of Yarmula Falater, a case that would challenge the limits of forensic psychology and force a jury to decide whether sleepwalking can be deadly. This is Forensic Tales, episode number 287, The Murder of Yarmula Falater. ♪

Thank you.

January 1997. In the usually quiet suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, a woman is viciously stabbed more than 40 times and then drowned in her own backyard pool. The suspect? Her husband. A man with no criminal record, no history of violence, and no known motive. When police arrived, he didn't run. He didn't fight. He didn't even seem to understand what had happened. He was

In fact, he claimed he'd been asleep the entire time. Scott Valater's defense would go on to become one of the most controversial in American legal history. He said he murdered his wife while sleepwalking. Not awake, not aware, not in control. Could someone really carry out such a brutal act?

stab their spouse, drag their body, hide evidence, change clothes, and then return to bed, all without ever waking up? To understand how bizarre and unbelievable this case seemed, we have to start with the Falater family. They lived in a modest, middle-income home in a quiet Phoenix suburb, a place often described as safe, friendly, and ideal for raising children.

Scott Falater was the respected product engineer at Motorola. His wife, Yarmula, who he lovingly called Yarm, was a stay-at-home mom to their two children, 12-year-old Michael, 15-year-old Megan. By 1997, Scott and Yarmula had been happily married for more than two decades. They were high school sweethearts who had grown up together, and according to friends and neighbors, they seemed like the picture of a perfect couple.

Their lives were also deeply rooted in religion. Though they were both born into Catholic families, Scott and Yarmula both became Mormons before they got married, and religion quickly became a cornerstone of their family life. According to their son Michael, the Folleters were deeply involved in the LDS church.

Scott even volunteered to teach early morning seminary classes. He'd be at church by 6 a.m., leading Bible study, before driving the kids off to school and then heading in for a full day at the office. To anyone looking in from the outside, they were the epitome of a wholesome, tight-knit American family. There were no warning signs, no secrets, no red flags.

Thursday, January 16th, 1997. By all accounts, it was an ordinary night in the Flater household. The family had dinner together, something that they made a point to do during the week. Afterward, Scott prepared for the early morning Bible class he was scheduled to teach the next day. The kids, 15-year-old Megan and 12-year-old Michael, headed off to bed sometime around 9 p.m.

Just before Scott turned in for the night, Yarmula had asked him for a favor. She wanted him to fix the backyard pool filter.

Despite a long day that had started well before dawn, teaching out the Bible study class, working a full shift as an engineer, and then coming home to play the role of a father and a husband, Scott didn't push back. He says he knew that the pool meant a lot to Yarmula. She hated when the water turned murky or green, and she'd been reminding him to get out there and fix the filter for days now.

So even though he was exhausted, he stepped outside and gave it a try. It was now around 9.30. Scott struggled to get the equipment working. He was frustrated, tired, and just ready to call it a night.

So eventually, he gave up. He says he walked back into the house and saw Yarmula asleep on the living room couch, dozing off in front of the TV. According to his interview with ABC News, he gently woke her up, kissed her goodnight, and apologized for not being able to fix the filter. He promised to take care of it tomorrow. Then Scott says he went upstairs, went to bed. And that's where the story takes a turn.

Sometime later that evening, just after 10, Scott's next door neighbors, Greg and Sue, heard something strange. From their bedroom window, they picked up what sounded like either moaning or muffled crying. It was faint, but it was coming from the direction of the Fleeter's backyard.

At first, they weren't sure whether to do anything. Was it just a disagreement? A dream? A prank? But as the sounds continued, Greg decided to take a closer look. He stepped outside and peered over the fence that separated their two homes. That's when he saw something lying near the pool. It was Yarmulet.

At first, Greg didn't freak out. He thought maybe she had slipped and fallen, or maybe she was drunk, passed out by the water. That kind of thing happened. People fell asleep in weird places. It does happen. But something just didn't feel right, so he continued to watch his neighbor's backyard. A few moments later, Scott Falater returned to the backyard.

According to the neighbor Greg, who was still watching from over the fence, Scott walked straight toward his wife Yarmula, grabbed her by the wrist, and dragged her closer to the water. Greg says he watched Scott push her into the pool and then hold her head beneath the surface. Now he's terrified. So Greg ran inside and told his wife what he just saw.

he was convinced Scott was trying to drown his wife. Even though she was motionless, even though it seemed too late, Scott was forcing her underwater. So that's when Greg called 911. The Phoenix Police Department responded immediately. All they knew was that a man was reportedly trying to drown his wife in the backyard pool, a potentially active, life-threatening situation.

So within minutes, officers arrived at the Falader home and entered the backyard. And that's when they saw Yarmula floating in the pool. She wasn't moving, and the water around her was a deep, cloudy red. One officer would later describe the scene by saying that it looked like she had been attacked by a shark. That's just how much blood was in this pool.

Yarmulet was pulled from the water and it was instantly clear she was already gone. She had been stabbed repeatedly, later confirmed to be 44 stab wounds, and then left to bleed out before being placed in the water. Then from inside the house, an officer spotted movement. Through a window, they saw Scott Felater casually walking down the hallway.

He was wearing a white t-shirt and red flannel pajama pants. Officers drew their guns, shouting for him to come outside with his hands up. They expected a suspect like him to run. A man covered in blood, someone frantic, or expecting someone dangerous. Instead, Scott appeared calm and confused.

According to police reports, he looked utterly baffled. He followed their commands, but seemed almost disoriented, asking, "'Why are you in my house? What's going on here?' When police asked how many people were inside the home, Scott answered, "'Four. Me, my wife, and our two kids.'" But they already knew. Yarmulah was dead in the backyard."

Scott was immediately handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car. Then inside the house, cops woke up 12-year-old Michael and 15-year-old Megan. They were told, without much explanation, that their parents had gotten into an argument and that their father had killed their mother. That was all they were told in that moment.

No warning, no comfort, just their mom, who was with them day in and day out, was now dead. Meanwhile, Scott was transported downtown to the Phoenix police station for questioning.

And what happened during that interview was nothing short of bizarre. He didn't seem angry. He didn't seem remorseful. He seemed totally and utterly confused still. He repeatedly asked what had happened. He said he didn't understand why he was there. And when the cops told him that his wife was dead...

He looked shocked and insisted he had no memory of doing anything to hurt her. He claimed he had no idea what had happened after he had gone to bed that night. It wasn't until they told him that his neighbor had witnessed him dragging Yarmula's body and holding her underwater that he began to put the pieces together.

Even then, he didn't react with anger or denial. He didn't argue. He didn't shout at them. He simply said to the police he didn't remember. Throughout the entire interview, Scott remained calm. He was seen sitting on the floor of the interrogation room, knees pulled to his chest, slouched against the wall. And he never once denied that he could have done it. He just kept saying the same thing.

I don't remember. I went to bed. When police questioned him, he was still wearing his pajamas, a white t-shirt and those red flannel pajama pants. And here's what really stood out. There wasn't a drop of blood on him. His white t-shirt was spotless, but he did have a smear of blood on the side of his neck, as well as a small band-aid on his hand.

To the police, this wasn't just suspicious, it was forensic proof of his guilt.

It's suggested that after brutally stabbing his wife 44 times, Scott had the presence of mind to go back in the house, go upstairs, remove his bloody clothes, clean himself up, cover a wound on his hand by putting a band-aid on, and put on a pair of fresh pajamas before getting back into bed. And yet, he claimed to remember none of it.

At 2.15 a.m., Scott Valater was formally booked and charged with first-degree murder. Photos were taken, fingerprints processed, and forensic techs swapped the blood on his neck. DNA tests would later confirm it was, in fact, Yarmula's.

For the Phoenix Police Department, this was case closed. They had an eyewitness and the physical evidence. Scott Felater murdered his wife and cleaned it up. It couldn't have been more simple, or so they thought.

ProlonLife.com slash Forensic Tales. In 1999, two years after the murder, Scott Felater gave his first televised interview from jail. It aired on ABC's 2020, and it was during that broadcast that the world first heard his defense.

He said he had no memory of the crime. He remembered going to bed. And then the next thing he remembers was waking up to the police inside of his house, telling him that his wife was dead. What happened in between? He said he had no idea. His only explanation, he must have been sleepwalking. That was the defense that he would ultimately present in court.

During the 2020 special, Scott and Yarmula's children, Michael and Megan, were also interviewed. They were just teenagers at the time. They had already suffered an unimaginable loss, the death of their mother, and now their father stood accused of being her killer.

but they insisted that they heard nothing unusual on the night of the crime. No screaming, no fighting, no struggle. They described their parents as loving, calm, and deeply committed to one another.

And despite what the police said, both kids stood by their father. It was clear Michael and Megan believed he didn't do it, or at the very least, not on purpose. They were already grieving their mother. They weren't prepared to lose their father as well. By May of 1999, Scott Felater was sent to go to trial in Maricopa County, Arizona.

The prosecution, led by Deputy County Attorney Luis Martinez, had already made up its mind. They were going to seek the death penalty. Scott's defense? Equally firm. He insisted on presenting what would become one of the most controversial defenses in modern criminal history. Sleepwalking.

The trial drew intense media attention, not just because of the brutal nature of the murder, but because of Scott's shocking claim. Could a man really stab his wife 44 times, drown her while asleep? Is that possible? Is it forensically possible? Is that a reasonable defense?

The prosecution's answer was simple and direct. This was not a sleepwalking episode. This was cold-blooded, calculated murder. They told the jury that Scott Felater was unhappy in his marriage, that beneath his image of this loving, church-going husband was a man who snapped and decided to kill his wife.

To support that theory, they brought in Dr. Philip Keene, the Maricopa County medical examiner. According to Dr. Keene's testimony, Yarmula Felater had been stabbed 44 times. Many of them were defensive wounds. She had fought. She had tried to stop him. And she had been aware. And so they argued he must have been aware too.

Going deeper into the crime itself, the entire attack lasted roughly 15 minutes. This wasn't a split-second moment of rage, but perhaps the most damning testimony came from the philater's neighbor, Greg. He told the jury that on the night of January 16th, he and his wife heard disturbing sounds coming from next door.

When he peeked over the fence, he saw Yarmula lying motionless on the ground near the pool. At first, he thought she might be drunk or passed out. So he watched the Flater home for a few more minutes. He saw lights turning on and off inside, and he also saw movement. And then he saw Scott come out of the house. He watched as he put on gloves and then dragged Yarmula into the water.

He said Scott not only pushed her into the water, into the pool, but he also held her head underwater. And that's when Greg realized his neighbor, someone that he once called a friend, someone that he had known for years, was trying to murder her.

The neighbor's testimony was crucial for prosecutors. He was their only witness. Even Scott couldn't testify to what happened because he claimed he had no memory of it. And Greg said something else that made prosecutors their case even stronger. He testified that Scott appeared calm and completely aware and completely awake the entire time.

Wearing gloves before touching the body suggested one thing, preparation. This wasn't sleepwalking, this was staging. Then there was the forensic evidence. Police discovered a bloody knife and Scott's blood-stained clothing hidden inside of his Volvo. Yet when they arrested him, his white t-shirt and pajama pants were spotless, and

So to the prosecution, it was obvious. Scott changed his clothes and cleaned himself up before the cops showed up. And that band-aid on his hand? More proof, they said, that he was aware enough to treat his own wounds. As for the sleepwalking defense, Luis Martinez told the jury it was a fantasy, a legal gimmick.

He said, you don't get to kill someone and then say you were asleep just because you don't want to face the consequences. End quote. Now it was the defense's turn. Scott's legal team had one goal. Prove to the jury that this wasn't cold-blooded murder. This was a medical and forensic mystery.

The defense took a very different approach than most. They didn't try to argue that Scott didn't murder his wife. Instead, they argued he had no reason to. According to his attorney, this wasn't a man with a history of violence. This wasn't someone secretly plotting to kill his wife.

Scott and Yarmula were high school sweethearts. They had been married for over two decades, raised two good kids, and built a life together. By all accounts, they were each other's best friends. Scott had never even dated anyone else as an adult. He was a devout Mormon, a dedicated father to these two young children, and a full-time engineer.

There was no history of abuse, no arguments, no divorce papers, no affair. From the outside, the Falater marriage looked solid, normal. So the question became, why would a man like that, someone so deeply rooted in routine, responsibility as well as religion, suddenly snap? That's when the defense introduced something that no one saw coming—

Scott Felater had a long history of sleepwalking. His legal team initially considered an insanity defense, but they pivoted after speaking to his family because the sleepwalking wasn't just a one-off event. It had happened many times since childhood. His parents and sister testified that Scott had been sleepwalking for as long as they could remember.

One night, as a kid, he came downstairs completely dressed for school. This was at, like, 2 o'clock in the morning. Another time, he walked through the house completely naked, unaware of anyone or anything around him. And every time, the next morning, Scott would remember nothing. Eventually, it became kind of a family joke. There goes Scott again off in dreamland.

But the jokes suddenly stopped after one of these incidents turned violent. Roughly a month before Scott and Yarmula got married, he was living at home and studying for college finals. His sister says she was watching The Tonight Show downstairs when Scott suddenly walked into the room from behind her.

She asked him what he was doing, but he didn't respond. Instead, he walked toward the back door. That's when she realized he must be sleepwalking again. So she got up from the couch and tried to gently block him, standing between the living room and the kitchen. And that's when it happened. Scott, without saying a word, grabbed her by both of her shoulders and threw her across the kitchen.

When she told Scott about it the next morning, he had no memory of it. To the defense, that particular moment was crucial. It showed that Scott was capable of complex, even violent actions while asleep.

They argued that what happened to Yarmula that night in January 1997 wasn't an act of rage or premeditated murder. It was a disorder, something Scott had zero control over.

Next, they'd bring in expert witnesses, sleep specialists, who would help the jury understand the science of parasomnia and how something so horrific might actually happen while someone is in a sleepwalking state. There was also non-REM parasomnia. This is a sleep disorder where someone performs complex behaviors during the deepest phase of sleep.

sometimes even violent behaviors, without being aware of it and not having any memory of it afterward. One of the leading sleep experts to testify was Dr. Rosalind Cartwright, a well-respected sleep researcher from Rush University.

She told the court that sleepwalking can sometimes involve very elaborate behavior, like driving a car, using tools, or even harming someone, all while the person is essentially in a state of altered consciousness. What triggers these episodes?

Experts say that stress, emotional strain, and lack of sleep are the three biggest risk factors that can provoke a sleepwalking episode, especially in people who already have a history of it.

And that's where Scott's life leading up to what happened becomes important. At the time, Scott wasn't just juggling a demanding engineering job at Motorola. He was also deeply involved in his church, leading weekly youth education classes and attending frequent meetings. According to testimony, he was under a tremendous amount of stress at work.

He had been assigned a major project that was on the verge of collapse. Colleagues said that he was worried about potentially losing his job. He also felt like because this project was failing, that he was letting his team down. Add to that his responsibilities at home, being a father, a husband, a church leader, and you start to see the weight that he was carrying.

Sleep experts testified that this kind of chronic stress, combined with the intense pressure he was under at work and at home, likely made Scott especially vulnerable to a parasomnia episode. In fact, according to Dr. Cartwright, the night of January 16th might have been a perfect storm.

You have a man with a known sleepwalking history, suffering from high levels of stress, probably not sleeping well, and then given one final trigger, the frustration of trying to fix a pool late at night, end quote.

It's also notable that Scott himself told investigators that he had barely been sleeping in the days leading up to the incident. He was exhausted. He'd been staying up late working on Bible lessons. He said he couldn't get the church curriculum just right and it was bothering him.

So the defense's theory?

And sure enough, Scott experienced abnormal arousals from deep sleep consistent with sleepwalking. It was rare, but not impossible. And for the jury, it presented a deeply uncomfortable question. Was Scott Felater a cold-blooded killer? Or was he sleeping when he committed one of the most violent spousal murders the city of Phoenix had ever seen?

As the trial wrapped up, both sides gave their closing arguments, and it was clear that this case had surprised the jury. On one hand, they had gruesome forensic evidence. A wife stabbed 44 times and drowned in her backyard pool.

On the other, a well-respected husband and father, claiming he had no memory of the attack, backed by medical experts describing a real, although rare, sleep disorder. The jury was made up of everyday people, some parents themselves, many of whom were visibly shaken by the case.

Reporters in the courtroom noted that during closing arguments, several jurors looked visibly uncomfortable when the autopsy photos were shown again. A few even looked away. But here's what really stuck with them. Even if Scott had sleepwalked through the stabbing,

How could they explain everything that he did afterward? The changing of his clothes, the bloody knife and clothes found in his car, the band-aid on his hand, the fact that, according to the neighbor, he put on gloves before touching Yarmula's body. That all felt intentional. That felt awake.

After deliberating for 20 hours over the course of four days, the jury returned with their verdict. Guilty of first-degree murder. When the verdict was read, Scott showed very little emotion. His children, who had been seated in the gallery supporting him, were devastated. They lost their mom, and now they were losing their dad, too.

Despite prosecutors seeking the death penalty, the jury did not sentence Scott to death. Instead, he was given life in prison without the possibility of parole. In interviews after the trial, jurors said they believed Scott's sleepwalking history was real, but ultimately it didn't justify what happened. One juror told reporters, quote,

End quote.

After the verdict was read, the public had a mix of reactions. Some were horrified that a man who seemed so normal, a church-going, family-oriented engineer, could commit such a brutal crime. Others were fascinated, even sympathetic, believing that maybe Scott truly had been asleep and completely unaware of his actions.

The story became a media sensation almost overnight. Headlines like The Sleepwalking Killer and Nightmare in Suburbia ran in newspapers and TV across the country.

True crime shows like 2020, Dateline, 48 Hours, ran detailed specials about it. And the case even appeared in psychological journals and legal analyst pieces due to the unusual defense. Many members of the public couldn't wrap their heads around it.

Could someone really be capable of murder while completely unconscious? Was Scott a cold-blooded killer who faked a disorder to save himself from death row? Or a man trapped in a one-in-a-million nightmare? Experts were split too. Some psychologists warned that sleepwalking as a defense for murder was a dangerously slippery slope.

They feared it could set a standard or a precedent where criminal defendants might fake disorders in order to get away or in order to escape responsibility. But others pointed to legitimate past cases like Kenneth Parks in Canada, who was acquitted after killing his in-laws in a sleepwalking state to show that the science could back it up.

Online message boards and talk radio were flooded with opinions as well. Many people voiced sympathy for Scott, as well as heartbreak for his two children, who were now without both of their parents. Others expressed pure rage. They felt justice had been served, but were disturbed that someone like Scott could live such a double life.

And to this day, this case is still studied in law schools, psychology programs, and by true crime communities. It forced a lot of people to ask some pretty uncomfortable questions. How well do we really know the people we love? What are our minds capable of when we're asleep? And if someone kills while unconscious, is that person guilty?

After his conviction in 2000, Scott Felater was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He was sent to the Arizona State Prison Complex in Yuma, where he is today.

He's now in his 60s and has never wavered from his original story, that he has no memory of the killing and that he was sleepwalking. His two children, just teenagers at the time, have stood by their father, publicly stating they didn't believe he would ever knowingly hurt their mother.

The Falater case raised difficult questions not only about guilt and intent, but about how far forensic psychology can and should go in a courtroom. From a forensic standpoint, this case highlights some important, often overlooked truths. There was very little physical forensic evidence linking Scott to the murder scene in a traditional way.

His clean pajamas, the fact that he had changed clothes, and the discovery of the bloody items in his Volvo all pointed to intent. But that's what made the forensic psychology angle so important. Sleep experts and forensic psychologists had to determine whether Scott's actions were consistent with an episode of a rare homicidal sleep condition.

According to their testimony, it was possible but not definitive. And for prosecutors, possible wasn't good enough. They argued that someone who could change their clothes, clean a wound, and hide evidence wasn't asleep or unconscious.

The jury didn't buy it. Despite testimony from multiple sleep disorder experts, Scott's forensic psychological defense simply wasn't strong enough to override the circumstantial evidence, and especially not the brutality of the murder.

In the end, the case didn't just hinge on blood spatter or fingerprints. It came down to the forensic profile of the killer. Was Scott Felater a man who snapped under pressure and then meticulously cleaned up a murder, or someone acting out a subconscious nightmare?

Even decades later, that question still divides people. It remains one of the most controversial uses of a sleepwalking defense in American legal history. And it's a haunting reminder that even science has limits when it comes to unlocking the human mind. To share your thoughts on this week's episode, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
