Goodnight, Sugar Babe documentary chronicles the gruesome murder of Vera Jo Reigle, whose killers are now in prison. Reigle, a young mother with an intellectual disability, was tortured and murdered by Daniel Bixler and his then-teenage girlfriend, Nicole Peters. The crime occurred in March 2011. The following year, both killers were tried and sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

Train engineers were reportedly the first to find the body of Vera Jo Reigle on the tracks of a CSX bridge on March 27, 2011. An autopsy revealed that she had suffered multiple blunt force and sharp force trauma wounds, which caused her death. One of Reigle's killers, Daniel Bixler, later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the case and described the events leading up to the murder. Bixler claimed that he and his then 17-year-old girlfriend, Nicole Peters, had planned the crime together. The pair took Reigle to the railroad tracks, where Bixler murdered her.

According to the Ohio Department of Corrections, Vera Jo Reigle's killers are now serving lengthy prison sentences. Daniel Bixler, who stabbed Reigle multiple times, is in the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility. Meanwhile, Bixler's then-girlfriend, Nicole Peters, who was a teenager at the time, is in the Dayton Correctional Institution.

The Blade and WTOL reported that Daniel Bixler and Nicole Peters planned the murder of Vera Jo Reigle. The killers repeatedly beat Reigle on the day of the murder, March 26, 2011, before leading her to the train tracks of the CSX bridge over the Blanchard River. There, Bixler stabbed the 24-year-old mother multiple times, resulting in her death. Train engineers later found the victim's body on the tracks.
