Joel learns that the trial judge, Chris Mennemeyer, went to high school with Leah.

Leah and Joel discover that, days before she died, Betsy changed the sole beneficiary of her $150,000 life insurance policy from Russ to Pam Leah perceives this as Russ's motive to kill, while Joel sees it as Pam's. Joel and Nate deduce that Betsy was strangled and then stabbed postmortem. Lincoln County prosecutor Leah Askey deems this probable cause the police arrest Russ, who hires Joel Schwartz and Nate Swanson as his lawyers. Pam mentions that Betsy had planned to reveal 'something' Russ did to her. Russ is interrogated and released from the station after 24 hours. Pam tells Janet that the police are holding Russ at the station. Pam's account of dropping off Betsy at her home includes several contradictions.

While Russ tells the police that Pam was good friends with Betsy, Pam awkwardly tries to make them suspicious of Russ. She made several alibis by strategically calling her husband, Mark, and Betsy's mother, Janet, a few hours before Betsy was discovered. Her friend, house-flipper Pam Hupp, was the last person to see Betsy that night, after insisting on driving her home. The police immediately suspect her husband, Russ. On December 27, 2011, in Troy, Missouri, Betsy Faria, a former co-worker of Hupp who has terminal cancer, is found murdered in her home.

Meanwhile, television producers sought to devote several episodes from Dateline NBC to Betsy's story, which uncovers Pam's past and makes her a suspect in the case. The police suspected Betsy's husband, Russ, as the culprit and arrested him, but when his conviction was overturned, holes appeared in Pam's testimony, revealing a diabolical scheme. Betsy's friend, house-flipper Pam Hupp, told the police she was the last person to see her on the night of her death after insisting on driving her home. The Thing About Pam details the murder of Betsy Faria, a cancer-stricken woman found dead in her home in Troy, Missouri, in December 2011.
