We take a look into a case with so many twists and turns, that it’s made its way into a dramatized series “The thing about Pam” starring Rene Zellweger. However, in this version of events, Pam Hupp takes a backseat as we focus on the destruction she left in her wake. Her victims, the survivors, and how Russ Faria was left picking up the pieces of his life, ignited by a single mission - to prevent his experience from ever happening to someone else.

On August 4th, 2015 in Pensacola, Florida. Escambia County Sheriff, David Morgan delivered a disturbing press conference, giving insight into a recent triple homicide that had taken place inside a quiet suburban home. The grizzly crime scene he described and the brutal way the victims had been murdered was disturbing, but it’s what he said next that sent chills down reporter's spines. The murders appeared to have been ritualistic. Part of some sort of witchcraft ceremony coinciding with the recent and rare Blue Moon.

“Who are you and what have you done with my wife?” It's the kind of rhetorical question asked in jest, expressing pleasant surprise when someone has a change in behavior or attitude. But what if this wasn’t a rhetorical question? What if someone believed their spouse had actually been replaced by someone else? An imposter. A lookalike. Suddenly “Who are you and what have you done with my wife” takes on a much darker, and more sinister tone.

Watch enough crime shows and it doesn’t take long to figure out the steps a killer will take to get away with murder. They stage the crime scene, they ditch the murder weapon, they fabricate an alibi, and at all costs, make sure to keep their mouths shut until the day they die. But in the case you’re about to hear the killer takes things a step further by actually manipulating information in the case file. Even making evidence disappear. All while hiding in plain sight for more than two decades.
