A Missouri prosecutor dropped and refiled the murder case against Pamela Hupp.
FILE - This 2016 file booking photo, provided by the St. Charles County, Mo., Prosecuting Attorney's Office shows Pamela Hupp. A Missouri prosecutor, on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, has dropped and refiled the murder case of Hupp, a killing that inspired a TV miniseries. Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wood charged Hupp with first-degree murder in July 2021, accusing her of killing her friend, Betsy Faria, a decade earlier.
On Friday, Wood told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that his office decided to refile the case to petition for a closer venue. The original case had been moved on a change of venue to Springfield, about four hours away from Lincoln County. Prosecutors allege Hupp fatally stabbed Faria in 2011 for the $150,000 life insurance policy that Faria had switched over to Hupp days before her death. They say Hupp staged the scene to implicate Russ Faria.
The Faria case was the subject of an NBC miniseries last year, “The Thing About Pam,” which starred Renee Zellweger.
