[Music] Harris County. What's the location of your emergency? >> I just killed my sister.
00:00:10
>> Oh my god. >> Tell me what your name is. >> Benjamin Elliot. >> Okay. Tell me exactly what happened.
00:00:21
>> I thought it was a dream. I I took my wife and I stabbed her. Please, I don't want to survive.
00:00:34
>> How old is she? >> 17. We're twins. >> Is she awake? >> Yes. She's like barely alive.
00:00:43
>> Is there anyone else there in the house with you? >> There is. It's my parents, but they're
00:00:46
asleep. >> Okay, I need you to go wake them up. >> Mom, >> we're going to have to start CPR right
00:00:53
now. One, two, three, four. One, two, cup chest. Just like that. Okay. >> Where's your son? Where's your son?
00:01:02
>> Okay. Okay. We got EMS is coming. >> Okay. Slow down a little bit. 1 2 3 4. 1
00:01:12
2 3 4. >> Can we take over? Can you >> What happened? It was a dream. >> He said it was a dream. Honey,
00:01:22
>> what the >> I don't know what I don't know what I'll do. You know, it was just a dream and then it wasn't.
00:01:31
>> I'm going to do a search of you real quick and then I'm going to put you in the back seat on this rain. Okay.
00:01:37
>> What was your first reaction when you heard about the case? >> I was skeptical. Why does he have a
00:01:42
knife next to his bed at night? This is the first study that we did on Ben. I'm Dr. Gerald Simmons. I'm a neurologist,
00:01:50
sleep disorder specialist. See, these are rapid eye movements. I was asked to review the case of Benjamin Elliot. The
00:01:57
claim was that he was sleepwalking and stabbed his sister. We have a video of him right here.
00:02:03
>> Oh, there he is. >> Yeah. Okay. >> You are convinced this was a sleepwalking incident?
00:02:09
>> Yes. >> Are you saying then that he did kill his sister, but he didn't intend to kill his
00:02:16
sister? I wouldn't say that it's impossible for someone to commit a crime while sleepwalking. I just don't think that
00:02:24
was the case with Benjamin Elliot. >> Were you able to find any evidence that there was a problem with these twins?
00:02:32
>> No, we definitely looked into it and tried. The biggest thing that they're hanging their hat on is the lack of
00:02:39
motive. >> My name is Megan Long. I'm one of the prosecutors on the case. So, >> this is really hard, isn't it, Mike?
00:02:51
>> I hate this. I hate that she's gone. >> This was not Benjamin's fault. >> I've never thought of him as somebody
00:03:00
responsible for this. >> What makes you so sure that you stabbed your sister while you were sleepwalking?
00:03:06
>> I would never have done that. I loved her. She was my best and closest friend.
