Story out of O’Fallon, Missouri:
A suburban St. Louis woman who claimed she shot an intruder who followed her inside her home is now facing murder charges, with a prosecutor saying Tuesday that she set up an innocent, mentally-impaired man to kill him.
St. Charles County prosecutor Tim Lohmar said Pamela Hupp, 57, of O’Fallon, Missouri, “hatched a plot to find an innocent victim and to murder this innocent victim” as part of an effort to frame a man involved in a previous murder case in which Hupp was a key witness.
Hupp is charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Aug. 16 death of Louis Gumpenberger of St. Charles, a 33-year-old man left physically and mentally impaired from a 2005 car wreck.
Hupp was arrested at her home Tuesday, and while in custody at the O’Fallon police station stabbed herself multiple times with a ball point pen she had managed to hide, O’Fallon Police Chief Roy Joachimstaler said. She was hospitalized in stable condition. Bond was set at $2 million. Cont.
