What a tale a life can weave. Nancy Pfister was a privileged woman, and lead a life of no apology. She was who she was, she felt worthy and had no problem putting people where she believed they belong whether they truly belonged there or not.  It did not seem to matter to to Nancy at all. She was going to tell you her feelings–like it or lump it. She was known to boss people around as if she were a higher being. And so it is ironic that she ended up being silence in murder.  Someone gave her an ultimate opinion that she would be no longer.  You have to be careful how you treat people as any wise person will tell you.

So who killed Nancy Pfister? If you watched Dateline this past weekend, the story goes in circles from blaming the renters of Nancy’s place, the Stylers, to pointing the finger at and retracting the finger to Nancy’s friend, Kathy Carpenter.

In the end, the doctor, William Styler, who rented Nancy’s place with his wife Nancy, confessed to the murder. But I will tell you that his confession was a complete lie. There was nothing believable in it. His story was actually laughable.  Could William Styler kill Nancy?  I believe yes, it is plausible (anyone can kill someone laying in bed with a hammer), but I don’t believe he did it.  William Styler really showed his true colors by playing the “poor aging man” game, though, going from walking to suddenly needing a wheelchair.

When I listened to and watched Kathy Carpenter, she made it clear, too, on multiple occasions, that she knew way more than she was telling us. She slips up several times saying things an uninvolved person would not say. Keith Morrison does a great job at asking Kathy why she wants “forgiveness” from Nancy’s Pfister’s daugher. Hello! The fact that Kathy “saw” things at the crime scene that aren’t logical, and that she just had to open that closet makes no logical sense. Who would assume when someone isn’t in their room that they are locked in a closet?  So Kathy was there, and did see Nancy covered in blood without question. She knew where the injuries were.

As for Nancy Styler, I don’t believe her either.  She is a cold woman to say the least.

William Styler shows some compassion or desire to do good by his wife, by confessing to the crime, and bargaining to set her free. And Kathy on her own doesn’t hit me as the type to commit murder outright. She wants “forgiveness”. Both the actions of Kathy and William so some level of compassion.  Kathy is also the type who is highly influenced by other people, and weak in character.

The one who hits me most capable in all of this is Nancy Styler.

I have to wonder if Nancy Styler and Nancy Pfister got into it. These two were two very head-strong women who wouldn’t easily compromise or come to a peaceful resolution, and both where likely to hold grudges and get viciously angry. I wonder if an argument ensued, and perhaps Kathy showed up, was called, or came by, and things went wrong.  Maybe Nancy Pfister stormed off and went to bed with ear-plugs in place, and got something she never saw coming…

I believe all three people Nancy, Kathy and William know exactly what happened and I suspect the mastermind was Nancy.
