About this episode
On December 27, 2011, the tranquil town of Troy, Missouri, was shaken by the brutal murder of 41-year-old Betsy Faria, whose lifeless body was found in her home with 55 stab wounds. All eyes turned to her husband, Russ Faria, as investigators pieced together the chilling details of her final moments. At first glance, the case seemed straightforward, and Russ was swiftly charged with Betsy’s murder. But as the investigation unfolded, hidden layers of betrayal, greed, and manipulation emerged. It became clear that this case was far more complex than it appeared. Over the next decade, a web of lies and shocking revelations would surface, uncovering the true mastermind behind Betsy’s death. This case would challenge perceptions of justice and leave a community grappling with how such a crime could remain unsolved for so long. Who was the real culprit? What motivated this horrifying crime? And how did justice finally catch up with them?
