One of the charges against Pamela Hupp has been dropped.

Earlier this year, Hupp was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection to Betsy Faria’s death. On Sept. 8, court records showed the armed criminal action charge was dismissed.

Faria was stabbed 55 times inside her Troy, Missouri home in December 2011. According to a probable cause statement, Faria’s husband Russell dialed 911 after coming home to find her dead in the den. He initially told dispatchers that she had previously contemplated suicide after discovering she had breast cancer.
