The Untold Truth Of Pam Hupp

Posted by Lashay Rain on Saturday, April 13, 2024

People still debate what motivated Pam Hupp, according to Fox 4. On the surface, the crime wreaks of greed and money. But there are also indications that she enjoyed the notoriety associated with her sensational actions. Her portrayal in the NBC television miniseries "The Thing About Pam" alludes to this theory.

Interestingly, transcripts from a jailhouse call Hupp made to her husband, Mark Hupp, may support the infamy claim, too. She told her husband, "It looks like, you know, I'm Ted Bundy. I mean, seriously" (via Fox 4). Some have wondered if this off-the-cuff remark provides insights into the forces that drove the alleged Midwestern murderess. A deeper dive into these individuals' stories reveals some troubling similarities.

As Criminal explains, Ted Bundy preyed on vulnerable young women, and he also appeared to savor the attention that came with his serial killer persona. Like Bundy, Hupp also allegedly targeted individuals incapable of defending themselves, whether due to brain damage or perhaps late-term cancer and dementia. Some of Hupp's interactions, particularly with the media, indicate she also enjoyed her time in the spotlight. Perhaps most compelling, Bundy and Hupp used their appearances and personas to disarm those around them. Of course, Hupp has yet to be convicted of two of the three murders for which she's been accused, and the Alford plea represents a kind of non-confession. In contrast, Bundy confessed to nearly 30 murders, although some believe he may have had hundreds of victims, per Britannica.
