     (AP) – A second person has come forward with a claim that a woman

charged with luring a man to her suburban St. Louis home to kill him by

pretending to be a “Dateline” producer tried the same story with him.

     The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 30-year-old Brent Charlton said a

woman matching the description of Pamela Hupp used the producer story on Aug.

10. He told reporters that’s what he told police, though authorities won’t

confirm that. He’s listed as a witness in the charging documents. Authorities

say they can’t comment because of the ongoing investigation.

     Charlton is the second person to make such a claim. Prosecutors said

previously that a woman was approached.

     Hupp has pleaded not guilty in the Aug. 16 killing of Louis Gumpenberger.
