Nancy M. 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 Styler 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.
Nancy Pfister was born on July 4, 1956 in Orofino, Idaho, a small city on the north bank of the Clearwater River. She was raised both in Aspen and Basalt, and attended Basalt High School. Born into a legendary Aspen family, Nancy was the daughter of Art Pfister, who made a fortune when he turned his family cattle ranch into the Buttermilk Ski Resort. Her mother Betty Pfister was a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) in World War II, who, in later years, flew a helicopter, which she was notoriously known for parking in the family's driveway. Pfister was raised in Aspen, and later graduated from Aspen High School. She took classes at Brooklyn's Pratt Institute. In her youth, she met John F. Kennedy, Jack Nicholson, Cher and Michael Douglas when they vacationed at her parents' ski resort. Pfister was briefly engaged to Douglas.
At age 29 and never having been married, Nancy gave birth to her daughter Juliana Pfister. At age of 43, Pfister adopted a son, Austin, with a longtime boyfriend. The couple later split up and Austin went to live with his father, but the three all remained close. Pfister was greatly involved in her kids' lives.
