Someone Came Home: The Murder of Betsy Faria

On the night of December 27, 2011, Russ Faria came home to find his wife Betsy dead on the living room floor in Troy, Missouri — stabbed over fifty times. He called 911. He was convicted of her murder. Then he was freed. Then prosecutors tried again. The case of Betsy Faria is not just a murder mystery — it's a story about tunnel vision, a justice system that locked onto the wrong man, and the real killer who walked free for years while an innocent person sat behind bars. Morgan and Kaelyn trace every turn in a case that became a masterclass in how badly things can go wrong.
