Pamela Marie Hupp (née Neumann; born October 10, 1958) is an American murderer serving a life sentence in Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center for the 2016 shooting of Louis Gumpenberger in her home in O'Fallon, Missouri.

- Hupp accused of setting up innocent, mentally-impaired man
A Missouri prosecutor has dropped and refiled the murder case against Pamela Hupp, a killing that inspired a TV miniseries.
Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wood charged Hupp with first-degree murder in July 2021, accusing her of killing her friend, Betsy Faria, a decade earlier. Faria's husband, Russ, spent time in prison for the crime before his conviction was overturned.
On Friday, Wood told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that his office decided to refile the case to petition for a closer venue. The original case had been moved on a change of venue to Springfield, about four hours away from Lincoln County.
Wood hopes the move will ease the financial and travel burden on prosecutors, witnesses and Faria's family.
"It was too much to ask of witnesses and Besty Faria's loved ones," he said.
The prosecutor will seek the death penalty against Hupp for Faria's murder, CBS affiliate KMOV-TV reported.
Hupp already is in prison for another killing. In 2019, she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility for parole for the 2016 fatal shooting of 33-year-old Louis Gumpenberger.
In that case, Hupp staged a fake kidnapping to divert attention from herself in a reinvestigation of the Faria killing, prosecutors said. They claimed she lured Gumpenberger to her home with claims she was a producer for NBC's "Dateline" in need of help reenacting a 911 call. Gumpenberger had mental and physical disabilities from an accident.
At the time, Hupp told police that soon after pulling into her driveway on Aug. 16, Gumpenberger, who she said was a stranger, jumped out of a car and demanded at knifepoint that she take him to a bank "to get Russ's money," St. Charles County prosecutor Tim Lohmar said. "Russ" was an apparent reference to Russell Faria and the insurance money Hupp claimed after Betsy Faria's death.
Lohmar said Hupp claimed she knocked the knife out of Gumpenberger's hand and ran inside. He followed her, she said. She went into a bedroom and got a gun, fatally shooting Gumpenberger.
