What Happened To Pam Hupp?

The Thing About Pam is NBC's newest true crime drama, focusing on Betsy Faria's murder in 2011. Pam's ties to the case as the last person to see Betsy alive and as the star witness in the trial against Betsy's husband Russ Faria are explored in the drama, which stars Renée Zellweger as Pamela 'Pam' Hupp. While The Thing About Pam is based on a factual story, the question of what happened to Pam and where she is today remains unanswered.

Pam shot and killed a man she suspected of being a house invasion on August 16, 2016. According to NBC News, she had called 911 to report that this man, Louis Gumpenberger, was breaking into her home and that she needed assistance before shooting him.

Pam claimed Gumpenberger forced his way into her car and wanted "Russ' money," a reference to the $150,000 payout Pam got as the beneficiary of Betsy's life insurance, according to a Dateline story on the case. Days before her death, Betsy moved the beneficiary of her life insurance from her husband to Pam, and while Pam stated she was putting money in a trust for her friend's daughters, she did not.

Gumpenberger allegedly forced his way into Pam's car when she was seated in her driveway, according to Pam. He allegedly brandished a knife and informed her they were going to the bank to get the money, according to her. She went on to say that she snatched the knife from his grip and dashed into her house, where Gumpenberger had after her and she had shot him.

During the police inquiry, they discovered a note in Gumpenberger's pocket that urged him to kill Pam and "make it appear like Betsy," as well as nine $100 notes. A $100 bill was discovered in Pam's bedside table, and its serial number was the same as the nine bills found on Gumpenberger's person, indicating that it was not a coincidence.
