Meet Russ Faria, the husband of Betsy Faria who was murdered in 2011. After getting charged with murder he spent two years in prison but got exonerated in 2015. Now, people are wondering about his relationship status. Does Russ Faria have a wife? Where does he work? How old is he today?
We cover it all below in this article so keep scrolling.
Where Is Russ Faria Today?
Since Russ Faria was the one who found his wife dead (married on 21 January 2000) for the first time, he immediately became the suspect of the crime. At the time, Russ was reportedly 41 years old and got convicted of murder after wrongful prosecution in 2013. He faced first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon and received a life sentence without parole.
However, his attorney chose to give him justice any way possible and earned a retrial after his stepdaughters filed a lawsuit against Pamela Hupp, the murderer of his wife. After a thorough investigation, the prior ruling of his conviction was overturned and he was exonerated in 2015.
Later, Russ sued Lincoln County and Sherrif’s office and he settled for $2,050,000. They decided to follow the lawsuit six months after his exoneration.
Russ told PEOPLE that he has no idea why Pam framed him but was relieved that the truth came out and he, once again, is a free man. He told, “I don’t know what this woman has in for me. I’ve only met her maybe a half dozen times if that, but she wants to keep throwing me under the bus for something I didn’t do. The only words I can use to describe her are evil incarnate.”
Plus, Russ is also working towards providing justice to other falsely convicted individuals. But, he hasn’t taken down his relationship status from being married to Betsy Faria to being single now.
