The day 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 the previous ten years of his life were gone.
That meant he no longer remembered meeting Kerry O'Brien Krueger, marrying her, or having their daughter. Doctors found no physical cause for the memory loss, and several clinicians believed his condition was genuine. Investigators, however, questioned why the only missing years were the ones connected to Kerry.
