The Thing About Pam is a true-crime podcast investigating Betsy Faria’s murder in 2011. Russ Faria, her husband, is eventually prosecuted and convicted of her murder, despite his denials.
When additional inquiry led to Pam Hupp and a plot to frame Russ, he was acquitted. Keith Morrison hosts the show, which is produced by Dateline NBC. NBC News Studios, Blumhouse Television, and Big Picture Co. are the producers of the show.
Keith Morrison, born on July 2, 1947, tells the story. He is a Canadian TV journalist who has worked as a correspondent for Dateline NBC since 1995. Morrison began his career as a reporter and anchor at local stations in Saskatchewan, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, Ontario, in the 1960s.
When Betsy Faria is murdered in small-town Missouri, the police assume it’s an open-and-shut case involving her husband, who was caught and convicted of the crime, according to the program.
However, there are still unsolved problems, and the case not only results in a wrongful conviction but it also puts in motion a series of events that reveals a nefarious conspiracy involving Betsy’s close friend Pam Hupp.
Pam, who was the last person to see Betsy alive, was not considered a suspect and constantly altered her narrative as she evaded questioning and takes detectives through a terrifying sequence of unforeseen twists and turns.
