Episode 134 - Framed: The Story Of Russ ...

About this episode
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.
