Authors Joel Schwartz and Charles Bosworth will discuss their new book, Bone Deep: Untangling the Betsy Faria Murder, in this Zoom webinar. Learn about the unbelievable true story of the murder case that is the subject of NBC's marquee mini-series, The Thing About Pam, starring Renee Zellweger as Pam Hupp and Josh Duhmael as Joel Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz severed as the defense attorney in the murder trial.

About The Book: On December 27, 2011, Russell Faria returned to his Troy, Missouri, home after his weekly game night with friends to an unthinkable, grisly scene: His wife, Betsy, lay dead, a knife still lodged in her neck. She’d been stabbed fifty-five times. First responders concluded that Betsy was dead for hours when Russ discovered her. No blood was found implicating Russ, and surveillance video, receipts, and friends’ testimony all supported his alibi. Yet incredibly, police and the prosecuting attorney ignored the evidence. In their minds, Russ was guilty. But prominent defense attorney Joel Schwartz, co-author of Bone Deep, quickly recognized the real killer.
