Carpenter might actually have been the person who called police after finding the socialite's body, according to Aspen Daily News.
Investigators still haven't said how Pfister died, but in early March they arrested a married couple who had apparently once been tenants of Pfister's.
"Authorities arrested 65-year-old William Styler and 62-year-old Nancy Christine Styler at a lodge in Basalt, where they were staying after apparently moving out of Pfister's home on February 22nd." (Via KKCO)
Police haven't released any information about a possible motive, but KMGH reports the couple might have been in a rental dispute with Pfister before her murder.
"On Facebook Pfister recently complained about bad tenants, writing: 'The people that were supposedly taking care of my house are not doing what they said they would do and they're not paying rent and they haven't paid utilities.'"
All three suspects are expected to face first-degree murder charges.
