Case 3: The Widow-maker. Merry Xmas

A few days after Christmas, a quiet Midwestern town wakes up to a nightmare.

A wife is found dead.

A husband calls 911 in panic.

And a friend steps forward… smiling.

What follows is a true crime story so twisted it feels scripted  but every word is real.

 

The Widowmaker is the chilling case of Pam Hupp, a woman who didn’t look like a monster, didn’t act like a killer, and didn’t run when the blood was spilled. Instead, she stayed close. She testified. She lied. And for years, she got away with it.

 

This episode of File 187 peels back the layers of deception, wrongful conviction, and calculated murder  revealing how the justice system failed, how an innocent man lost years of his life, and how a killer nearly walked free by hiding in plain sight.

 

This isn’t just a true crime podcast.

It’s cinema for your mind.

 

 Put the lights down.

 Sit back.

 And maybe don’t trust the friend offering you a ride home.
