Trailer: Introducing The Thing About Pam
Play Episode
Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russ Faria came home from game night to find his wife, Betsy, dead. He was soon charged and convicted of her murder. But Russ Faria insisted he did not kill his wife. Betsy’s brutal murder set off a chain of events that would leave one man dead, another man implicated, and expose a diabolical scheme. It would also see Dateline NBC—the true-crime original—become a part of the never-ending saga that proves the old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction. This original series from Keith Morrison and Dateline defies all expectations.

Faria was charged with a crime that he swore he did not commit.
Share
Russ Faria
00:39
No, no, I did not do this.
Share
00:41

Just after Christmas, Troy, Missouri 2011, his beloved wife was brutally stabbed to death 56 times.

00:56
The jury was left with no alternative and in most people's words, the husband did it.
Share
01:01
Who else would've?
Share
Keith Morrison

The prosecutor said it was rage, greed.
Share
01:10
We wouldn't be here if the answer was that easy.
Share
Speaker 3
01:13
In my opinion, an innocent man got charged with murder and then it's sort of a snowball from there.

I've been a correspondent for
Dateline NBC
for 25 years and in that time I've never seen a story quite like this before.Share
01:27
As we investigated the saga of murder greed, sex, lies, things became personal.
Share
01:37
What happens when a true-crime show becomes part of the story, we could never have imagined.
Share

01:47
I've worked on other cases that have twists and turns, but I've never worked on a case like this with so many twists and turns that were completely unpredictable.

Her exact words as I advanced on the man and fired until I heard click-click-click.
Share
Keith Morrison
02:14
We thought we knew how this story ended, how wrong we were.
Share
Speaker 6
02:19
You know, had this money and have not turned in this money over to the family with kids. That's a huge problem.
Share
Keith Morrison
02:25
It's unbelievable, Russ Faria didn't kill his wife, Betsy, but did someone else she knew.
Share
Speaker 4
02:34
I'd like to see this story conclude with Justice. Betsy Faria has not received justice. Russ Faria has not received justice. Her family has not received justice.
Share
Keith Morrison

And if we've learned anything in all the years we followed this story, anything is possible.
