Murder of Nancy Pfister

Uncommon card · No. 89671

Nancy Merle Pfister was an American woman who was found murdered on February 26, 2014, in a walk-in closet of her secluded home in the Rocky Mountains. She had been beaten in the head and chest with a hammer, ax, and lamp. Pfister has been described as having been a "small-town socialite" and was well known in her small community. In October 2014, Trey and Nancy Styler, Pfister's former roommates, were charged with the crime. Shortly thereafter, Trey confessed to her murder, and received life imprisonment in exchange for the charges against his wife to be dropped. Styler claimed he killed Pfister as "punishment" for adding an interest rate to the couple's rent after they refused to pay for over three months. The Stylers had stopped paying rent after living with Pfister for 2 months, due to minor broken utilities in the home that she refused to fix. The case gained national notoriety and sparked many debates on renter's rights.
