    22 - Dead Wrong: Part 4 - Another Death (The Pamela Hupp Case)
    Mar 25 2026

    Dead Wrong is a five-part deep dive into one of the most shocking wrongful conviction cases in recent memory — and the woman at the center of it all.

    When Betsy Faria was found stabbed to death in her Missouri home in 2011, the case seemed straightforward. Her husband, Russ Faria, was quickly arrested and convicted.

    But almost immediately, the story began to unravel.

    In this five-episode arc, we follow the timeline from Betsy’s murder to Russ’s conviction, the appeals that exposed serious investigative flaws, and the growing suspicion surrounding Betsy’s close friend — Pamela Hupp.

    As each layer peels back, the question becomes unavoidable:

    How did the wrong person go to prison? And how did it take so long for anyone to stop it?
