Just before Tracey Krueger was scheduled to take a second polygraph, he collapsed at work. When he woke up, he believed it was 1979 and said he couldn't remember the previous ten years of his life, including meeting Kerry, marrying her, or having their daughter.
Doctors found no evidence of a stroke or brain injury, while investigators questioned whether the timing was a coincidence. Years later, new experts also reviewed the case, reaching different conclusions about what may have happened.
