The pies were cold on the counter, dinner untouched, and the house felt too quiet.
Russ Faria walked in that night expecting his wife — and instead found a nightmare.
55 stab wounds. A knife still in her neck.
And somewhere in Troy, Missouri, a woman named Pam Hupp was already rehearsing her story.
In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, Kaitlyn steps into the life of Pam Hupp — the smiling neighbor who used kindness as her weapon.
From the murder of Betsy Faria to a staged “self-defense” shooting, this is a story of manipulation, control, and the chilling psychology of a woman who wanted to be the hero, no matter the cost.
🎧 In this episode:
• The night Betsy Faria’s husband walked into horror
• How Pam Hupp weaponized sympathy to frame an innocent man
• The staged murder that exposed her web of lies
• Her Alford plea, new charges, and the ongoing trial
• The psychology of control, deception, and malignant narcissism
This isn’t just true crime — it’s a warning about what happens when empathy turns into exploitation.
