Ep 6. She's a Killer

The Thing About Pam season 1 episode 6 titled "She's a Killer" begins with a recap of the events leading up to this point. Investigative journalist, Keith Morrison introduces us to the case of Pam Hupp, a woman who has been accused of murder multiple times. The episode then focuses on the death of Betsy Faria, a woman who was found stabbed to death in her home in 2011.

Pam Hupp was a friend of Betsy's and had been with her the night before Betsy's murder. Pam had originally been seen as a witness in the case, but as the investigation continued, suspicions grew that she may have been involved in Betsy's death. Betsy's husband, Russ, was convicted of the murder, but his conviction was later overturned, and he was released from prison. The investigation was reopened, and Pam was charged with Betsy's murder.

The episode goes through the evidence and testimonies from the trial to try and piece together what happened on the night of Betsy's murder. We hear from Pam herself, who maintains her innocence. However, her story changes several times throughout the episode, causing doubt about her credibility.

The prosecution argues that Pam killed Betsy because she wanted to collect on a $150,000 life insurance policy Betsy had recently taken out. They claim that Pam lured Betsy to her home, where she murdered her and made sure to leave evidence pointing towards Russ as the killer.

The defense argues that there is no evidence directly linking Pam to the murder and that the prosecution's theories are merely conjecture. They question the credibility of the witnesses who testified against Pam and point out inconsistencies in their stories.

As the trial progresses, tensions build, and emotions run high. Both sides work tirelessly to prove their case. The jurors are given several pieces of evidence to consider, including a bloody footprint found at the crime scene, which matches the shoes Pam was wearing the night of the murder.

The episode ends with the jury delivering their verdict. Viewers will have to tune in to find out if Pam is found guilty or not guilty of murder.

Overall, "She's a Killer" is a gripping and intense episode of The Thing About Pam. It raises important questions about the nature of justice and the reliability of witness testimony.

Whether or not Pam is found guilty, this case is sure to leave a lasting impression.
