Summary

Stephen Reitz invoked a sleepwalking defense after he was charged with killing a woman during a weekend getaway. He claimed he woke up from a dream that he was fighting off an intruder and discovered her body. Investigators doubted his story, especially when they uncovered evidence about his tumultuous relationship with the victim.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Stephen Reitz. Could a person really commit a savage murder during a sleepwalking incident, or is it a convenient way to explain a cold-blooded murder? That is what a jury was tasked with deciding in the case of Stephen Reitz.
