The Wicked Story Of Pam Hupp

The woman you see in this footage is the same woman who fooled the entire world for years using her charm and innocent behavior. For many it was difficult to believe that behind this smiling face there was a heartless killer if it were not for the persistent investigation of a journalist. named Chris Hayes whose investigation led him to ask Pam the one question no one asked him: did you kill that scene no, you didn't kill Betsy. He had no reason to kill Bessie. It's unlikely we would have known about Pam Hupp's unspeakable acts before. As we begin, we would like to send our sincere condolences to the loved ones of Betty Faria Shirley Newman and Lewis Grumpenberger, who were victims of the abhorrent acts described in this case.

The Pam Hupp girls were born in October 1958 in St Louis Missouri, by most accounts. She was a typical American mother, marrying her high school sweetheart three months before her prom and giving birth to her first daughter, Sarah, during her six-year marriage when things didn't work out with her first husband. Pam moved on and remarried. to Florida with her new man shortly after Pam gave birth to her second child, this time a son, Travis, and soon the couple, who now have two children, returned to Missouri while their children went to school and her husband He worked as a carpenter.

Pam maintained a steady job at a life insurance company as an administrator and it was through that job that Pam met Betsy Faria, who would become one of her closest friends. Betsy was a devoted wife and wonderful mother. Anyone who knew her described Betsy as a fun-loving and kind woman, she enjoyed the social aspects of her job and adored her husband Russ. Everything seemed perfect for her Betsy until she was tragically diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42. Unfortunately, as all the treatment options were tried, everyone was eventually exhausted. Betsy's cancer started. It spread throughout the rest of her body, and eventually, when the disease began to invade Betsy's liver and kidneys, it became clear that cancer would soon claim the life of this kind and loving woman.

During all these difficult times, there was one person who was always close to her. by Betsy's side, taking her to doctor's appointments, spending time together and providing support to Betsy and her husband, that person was, of course, Pam Hupp, as well as providing support to Betsy. Pam was also partially responsible for caring for her own mother, Shirley Newman, who was suffering. she from advanced dementia and arthritis, while Shirley lived in a senior center, she thrived in a self-contained apartment and only needed occasional support. Pam visited frequently to help with meals, washing and cleaning and just to be there for her mother at 77 years old.

Shirley was a proud retiree. school teacher, but the greatest joys of her life came from watching her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren prosper. She had moved into a third-floor apartment at the Lakeview Park independent senior community after her husband's death, which meant she didn't have to care for her. She no longer wanted to have a house alone, she wanted to fully enjoy her retirement and it gave her great peace to know that her family would feel confident that she was safe and well taken care of, but, tragically, both Betsy and Shirley and their relationships with this guy apparently gentle. and the good-natured woman Pam would eventually lead to her agonizing deaths because behind the façade of kindness Pam Hupp hid her true dark nature.

So who really is Pamela Hupp and how did she get away with murder after murder for so long? The answer to the question. It's pretty simple really: Pam was a manipulative and greedy criminal who would stop at nothing to take everything she could from her victims, their money, their dignity and ultimately their lives, even those closest to Pam were not. safe from being victims of their insatiable appetite for money. But Pam's path of destruction doesn't end with her mother and her best friend. Louis Grumpenberger was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of Pam's attempt to cover up her previous crimes, but it would be Lewis' gruesome murder that would eventually lead to the unraveling of all of Pam's sadistic crimes

hupp

Lewis was 33, the father of two children, he was a loving father and a devoted son who frequently visited his mother and spent time with his extended family.

In 2005 he had been involved in a car accident which left him with permanent mental and physical disabilities, this made it difficult for him to hold down a job. permanent, so Lewis often took odd jobs for cash to support his family. It was at one of those strange jobs that Lewis would cross paths with Pamela Hop in 2011 as cancer continued to ravage her defenseless body. Betsy Faria had begun making a series of disturbing comments to her husband Russ, saying that she would rather be dead than lose This battle against her body would be less stressful for her daughters if she simply died rather than suffer a long-term illness, he was worried about her mental health and despite seeking help, this once fun-loving wife had begun to withdraw. on herself as Betsy's pain increased, she limited contact with others and only saw her two daughters and her best friend.

Pam, after a particularly miserable Christmas, Betty was due to undergo another round of cancer treatment in hopes of prolonging her life a little longer. On December 27, 2011, she had broken up with the doctor and Pam, who was always by her side in the hospital. the dates insisted on leaving her at home. Russ went out to hang out with friends later that night, when he got home he found Betsy on the couch with her wrists cut, he was devastated and naturally assumed that she had made good on one of his distressing threats. At first he thought the brutal attack was Betsy's attempt to take her life.

Russ frantically dialed 9-1-1 in hopes that his wife could be saved, but unfortunately this was not possible when first responders arrived on the scene and found the cause. The death was not due to self-inflicted injuries or his terminal illness, but along with the cuts on his wrist, they found 55 stab wounds on his fragile and weakened body, there was a serrated kitchen knife protruding from his neck and his wrist had been slashed. . right down to her bone, a second knife next to her on the couch where she was found, it was clear to the paramedics that Betsy had been dead for over an hour and sadly nothing could be done.

It was also clear to investigators that Betsy had been dead. The victim of a homicide the day after Betsy's death was her husband Russ who was arrested for murder despite her proclamations that he loved Betsy and would never hurt her. Paramedics claimed her call to 9-1-1 said he believed she had broken up with her. Her own life was ridiculous as there was too much blood for anyone to believe he had come. She simply slit the wrists and don't forget the knife was still embedded in her throat, but Russ still proclaimed her innocence stating that he wasn't even the last one. one to see her, her friend Pam had left her at home while he left the house when the police searched the house, they found blood on a pair of Russ's sneakers, they stated that his behavior when they arrived at the scene was suspicious and despite From Russ's insistence on his innocence there was no doubt in his mind that Russ was guilty and his intuitions were corroborated by the statements of a very credible witness, Pam Hupp, who strongly implicated Betsy's husband, Russ, as the killer.

He started playing this game of putting a pillow on top of her. face to see how she would feel I don't know if she said this is what it's going to feel like when you die or whatever and then act like she was joking in the course of the investigation Pam Hupp was interviewed since she was Betsy Pam's daughter, her closest confidant, told a detailed

story

of how Betsy shared that Russ was a violent partner and that she had been thinking about leaving him. She even pointed out to the police a strange document on Betsy's laptop that she claimed Betsy had written indicating that she was worried that Russ was going to kill her.

Pam told the police that she thought Russ had killed Betsy to prevent her. would escape. He would start playing this game of putting a pillow on her face to see how she felt. I don't know if she said this is it. how she'll feel when you die or whatever and then act like she's joking, what investigators found suspicious was the fact that just five days before her murder, Pam had helped Betsy modify her insurance policy. life instead of her husband Russ being murdered. Pam, the benefactor of over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, would now inherit all of Betsy's life insurance money, but when Pam was asked about this, she claimed that Betsy was worried that Russ would hurt her when she tried to leave, so that he wanted Pam to take care of his daughters' money.

Pam claimed that she put the money in a trust so they would have it when they grew up. Pam played her role as a caring and concerned friend perfectly and investigators believed every word. Shortly after Russ was charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action, it wouldn't be until the trial that he began to wonder who else might be responsible for Betsy's murder. . The evidence of Russ's whereabouts that night was described in painstaking detail. The time of Betsy's death was recorded. between 7:20 and 9:20 pm and it would turn out that four friends that Russ had been with that night were called and testified that he could not have been involved since they were together during those times.

Cell phone records show he was 20 miles away. and had time-stamped receipts for the purchases he made that night, there was simply no way it could have been him and not only this, but Russ had no blood on him when Emergency Services arrived, his defense attorneys filed a rock solid alibi. I wasn't even the last one to see her alive. Pam was the one who insisted that she be the one to drop Betsy home that night, but despite all this exonerating evidence, the prosecution was able to convince the jury that Russ's friends must have been involved in conspiring to commit Betsy's murder. and that they must have held his phone to him while he killed her and that they had impersonated him in stores to falsify his whereabouts, they presented Russ as a cold-blooded murderer who wanted to hasten Betsy's death so he could obtain his insurance payment. of life without knowing that she had exchanged the benefactor for her best friend.

The judge at Russ' trial also barred Russ' attorneys from implicating Pamela in the murder, regardless of evidence from Pam's phone records that showed she was in the vicinity of Betsy's home for more than 30 minutes afterward. that he allegedly left Betsy or the fact that she was the sole beneficiary of Betsy's life insurance policy, so in November 2013 Russ was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. more 30 years without the possibility of parole Pamela Hupp had gotten away with it for the first time, but this would not be the only death in which Pam would be found in close proximity less than a month before Russ' sentence was handed down .

Pam's mother, Shirley, had spent the night at her daughter's house after a hospital appointment, it was October 30 and when Pam dropped Shirley home, she informed the staff that her mother was not feeling well. She was looking forward to dinner or breakfast the next morning and that she should be left to rest. At 2:30 pm on October 31, a member of staff found Shirley's body on the pavement under the balcony of her apartment when the police arrived and looked inside. From her room, they found water running, the patio doors wide open, and the aluminum railing broken even though a medical examiner found levels of Ambien eight times the usual dose in Shirley's blood.

Her death was ruled accidental once again. Pamela had been the last to see Shirley alive and would benefit from her death. Pamela was going to inherit. five hundred thousand dollars as a payout for her mother's life insurance policy after the accidental death discovered that Pamela got her way a second time, it wouldn't be until years later in 2016 that the true nature of Pamela and His atrocious deception would be discovered in large part thanks to Louis Grumpenberger foreigner no no oh hello no no ma'am can you hear me? not around noon on August 16, 2016, when 9-1-1 received a frantic call from a woman stating that a robbery was in progress while repeatedly calling for help, the caller identified herself as Pamela Hupp and told police there was a man at her house trying to rob her.

Five gunshots could be heard in the background of the call, as if a gun had been fired five times, police quickly responded to the call. and when they arrived at the scene they found the deceased body of Louis Grumpenberger crumpled in a hallway of thePamela's house. An investigation began immediately. Louis Grumpenberger was quickly identified as the assailant when his body was searched. Police found 900 in cash along with a note stuffed in her clothes containing sinister instructions kidnap Hub get Russ' money from Hub in his bank and kill Hupp return to the house and get rid of her make her look like Russ's wife making sure the knife sticks out of the neck all this for a ten thousand dollar reward Pamela voluntarily went to the station for questioning and told the police the

story

of her alleged assault in our driveway because I'm right at the end here it is the cross street and here's my driveway he came out and did this right in front of my driveway and I looked up because he was so fast and amazing and someone jumped out and I was like wow someone, I don't know what I thought, if someone was hurt, I don't know what was going on, he was so fast and then ran up.

I was halfway down the road where I was parked and he jumped into my car, opened the door and jumped into my car, whose door fronts are in the back, oh, front. Professor, go ahead, go ahead and he had a lot of things in his hands. No I don't know what he had, but he also had a knife, but he had something on his other arm I don't know what he had and um he put a knife on him and he kept yelling random things like you're going to take me to the bank and you're going to get Russ's money take me to the bank you're going to to take me to the bank, there he put a knife to my throat and I was yelling things and I kept looking behind him like that so I didn't start it and I was thinking how I was going to get out of there when he was looking and he kept yelling coming back and then he looked back again and I hit his arm with the knife and then I bolted out of the car and he ran inside.

She claimed to have returned home and stopped in the garage when Lewis jumped out of an SUV driven by someone else, held a knife to her throat and told her to drive to the bank and withdraw Russ' money, referring to the money she had received as a life insurance payment for Betsy's murder. Pam claimed that she had managed to knock down the knife. the attacker's hand and ran towards the house pursued by her attacker, she managed to grab his gun and shoot Lewis while he was chasing her down the hallway I think she was yelling at him and I remember I think she was like who are you, get out of me? car, blah, blah, blah, and he said, "Let's go to the bank," and then my mind starts spinning because I'm like, "Oh, no, thank you, this is so fucking weird," and I'm like, I'm not going to do it. the bank with you, get out of my car and he says, go, let's go to the bank, let's get Russ's money and he starts getting agitated and excited and that's when he was really yelling things that I wasn't hearing because I was thinking about how it was going to get out of the car, so he was screaming because I couldn't really understand it at the time and my thought was to take the knife and get out of the car, that's all I was thinking.

On that point, what he was saying, I don't know, is that I ran to the garage, he ran after me, I heard the car door close and he was talking again about killing me again. My focus was to get into the house. I know there was My phone in my pocket I was trying to dial 9-1-1. I think I did it three times before he got through my cell phone, but then I was inside and he was trying to open the door. I was trying to hold the door. I couldn't lock it and I tried to call 9-1-1 on the phone and he was saying things and then the door flew and he came in and it opened and I ran into the room, he was yelling things and like he was coming into the bedroom something about killing my wife, him and Stevie, me and Stevie are going to kill your wife and me, so I don't know who it is, I don't know if Steven or Stevie or Steve, I don't know.

I know what he was talking about, it was like that at the time, but it was very difficult, it's like his sentences weren't formed by then and none of it made any sense, but he kept saying, get in the car, I ran to the room, I tried. just so you know, I closed those doors trying to lock them, it wouldn't last long, I had to get with the door and I turned my gun, I had my nightstand right there and he was banging on the door and one time he opened a job and I kept going shooting them because he kept standing there.

If any bullets fired, will there be bullet holes in the bedroom door or do you think the door was completely gone? I was in the bedroom. I understand, but you said the door. it opened so I didn't, yeah I didn't start shooting until that door opened and he was standing there ready to approach him in the bedroom and I started shooting. I'm walking towards him because I didn't want to. To be sure, I hit it because everyone kept saying it's a small gun and blah blah blah, you're not going to remember after all the stories Pamela had told over the last few years, this was the one that would lead her to undo something about.

It's not true and finally, after all these years and after three horrible murders, Pamela Hupp's story began to unravel, although Betsy's husband Russ had been convicted and imprisoned for Betsy's murder, he never stopped trying. Prove his innocence and find justice for his beloved wife. After years of appeals and hearings, evidence against Pamela implicating her in Betsy's murder was going to be presented before a judge, and in the months leading up to her mother's death, Pamela had been questioned again and knew that in that case was building a case against him. Well, given how comfortable Pam was with murder as a way to solve her problems, she decided to implicate Russ in another crime believing that she would take attention away from him, so Pam set about fabricating another murder.

She lured Louis Grumpenberger to her house by posing. As host of the NBC television show Dateline, she convinced this innocent man that he was there to help her recreate a 9-1-1 call for a segment on that show and once he was in the perfect position, Pam shot him and planted the evidence. on her body in an attempt to make it look like Lewis was a hitman hired by Russ from prison to get his money back from investigators who heard Pam's story, it all seemed pretty far-fetched, starting with a member of the public who had filed a complaint just five days before Lewis was shot, the woman said she had been approached by a person who had asked her to be part of the Dateline show reenactment, the description the woman gave of the alleged television host perfectly matched Pam's appearance, that woman had declined the offer to help recreate the 9-1-1 call, but was so disturbed by the encounter that she contacted the police after requesting that this woman be her next victim and, at being rejected, Pam would approach Lewis Grumpenberger, who would unfortunately accept the fake proposal the police obtained. cell phone records showing Pamela was in Lewis' neighborhood about an hour before the shooting despite Penn's claim that she had never met Lewis before he entered the home and the 900 bills found on the body of Lewis were sequential bills found in Pamela's house the knife in Lewis' house It was discovered that Pam had purchased the hand at a dollar store and the paper on which the supposed instructions were written matched a pad of paper that was found at Pam's house and all of this evidence was corroborated by the fact that due to Lewis' previous car accident. and subsequent physical and mental disabilities, it was unlikely that she would have had the physical capacity to even carry out the acts Pam alleged on August 23, 2016.

Pamela was eventually arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in its moment. If she had come, Pamela wouldn't get her way this time, she knows she's on camera, so she's subtle. Look at this. Hub grabs the water bottle to hide the pen and then slides both back slowly, casually, she grabs the pen behind her to hide it in her pants and then her neck again looks like she's searching for her jugular or another vein that she's about to tap. hit with the pen, that's where they accompany her to the bathroom where she stabs herself.

Well, about five minutes go by when you can hear the officers yelling that they've helped Ed while I'm in custody. Pamela stole a pen from one of the investigators and proceeded to stab herself in the neck and wrists when she was in the bathroom in an attempt to end her own life, but her attempts to harm herself were unsuccessful and prosecutors were unsympathetic. which they labeled as guilty conscience In January 2017, Pam pleaded not guilty to her charges and prosecutors stated that they would seek the death penalty in part because of their choice of Lewis as a victim, given his particular vulnerabilities.

At that point, the focus had been squarely on Pamela and on the During the course of the investigation into Lewis' murder, more questions began to arise about her close connection to two previous deaths, that of her best friend Betsy and that of his own mother, Shirley. Prosecutors could no longer deny that her association with Betsy Faria and Shirley Newman was suspicious. for the police to reopen the investigation into both cases with their eyes now open to the possibility of Pamela's involvement. Shirley Newman's cause of death was eventually changed from accidental to undetermined in 2018, the Lewis murder judge stated that prosecutors could not use information about Shirley's death in Pam's trial, but ruled that they could use related evidence with the death of Betsy Faria while defending their case.

Pamela's trial date was set for June 2019, but just before it began, Pamela walked in and pleaded guilty to the murder of Louis Grumpenberger. would not plead guilty, but an Alford plea is an admission that the evidence against her would likely be overwhelming, this meant that Pam would not go to trial for Lewis' death and, as a condition of this plea, would not face the penalty of death, Pamela said. to her husband from jail that she only used this option so her children wouldn't have to witness an ugly trial after the Alford plea, the Lincoln County DA's computer announced it would reopen the Betsy Faria homicide investigation , at that point Russ had already made a mistake.

He served three and a half years in prison for the murder of his wife despite numerous appeals and confessions that there were flaws in the initial investigation. It took until 2015 for him to be released on bail pending a new trial in 2021. Pamela was interviewed in connection with Betsy's murder for the first time as a suspect less than four days after this interview Pamela was charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action the same charges brought against Russ almost 10 years earlier the prosecutor stated that he would seek the death penalty due to the atrocity and depravity of the crime and Pamela's attempts to deflect blame onto Betsy's husband, although this case has not yet made it to court, they will claim that Pamela killed Betsy in an effort to defraud her out of a life insurance policy, they believe once she found out. that Betsy was dying of cancer, she befriended her with her intentions clear from the beginning, that terrible day she waited until Betsy fell asleep on the couch after her treatment, which would have left her weak and tired, then Pem stabbed repeatedly at her good friend while she was sleeping.

She stopped when his knife became so embedded in her throat that she had to reach for another to complete the attack. Pam took off one of her friend's socks and then used it to spread blood all over the house, including Russ's slippers, before putting them back on Betsy's feet after her. Russ' release, a new trial ultimately exonerated him, and his conviction was overturned in 2020. Russ received a $2 million settlement in his lawsuit against false imprisonment. Russ had filed a series of lawsuits alleging unethical behavior by the prosecutor and investigators at the time of his initial arrest. and yet no one has faced charges in that matter, this despite the testimony of Witnesses who claim that Russ was considered a suspect from the beginning and that there were inappropriate relationships between those involved in the investigation that led to his arrest being preordained. in May 2022. announced that an investigation would be carried out to establish whether there was any misconduct in the initial investigation.

Prosecutors stated that they would not seek to press charges against Pamela for the death of her mother Shirley, but after her incarceration in September 2020, Pamela's husband filed for divorce from her. claiming that his marriage was irretrievably broken and that Betsy's murder ironically became the subject of six separate episodes on Dateline NBC, the show he had pretended to work for when he committed Lewis' murder until Pamela faces her final charges. in Betsy's Murder. She remains incarcerated at the Chillicothe Correctional Facility. Center, a preliminary hearing was scheduled for February 2022, but was delayed indefinitely after Huff's public defender died of aheart attack, but as long as this trial inevitably takes place, we can be sure that Pamela Hupp will probably remain imprisoned for the rest of her life if she finds him. this compelling story, don't forget to like the video, comment below your opinion, share the video and subscribe to the channel, also hit the notification bell to be updated every time we reveal a new shocking case until next time.
