By . Snejana Farberov . One of three suspects accused in the murder of an Aspen socialite has been cleared of all criminal charges in light of new evidence. The 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday dropped first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and accessory after the fact to murder charges against 62-year-old Nancy Styler. According to a press release put out by District Attorney Sherry Caloia, the decision to clear Styler in the murder case came after her office was presented last week with new evidence, but she did not elaborate in the statement on the nature of this evidence.

Styler, her husband, William Styler, 66, and Katherine Carpenter, 56, have been arrested in connection to the murder of Nancy Pfister, whose body was found in a closet at her home in February. ‘With the new information received and a lack of other evidence refuting the new information the district attorney could not prove that Ms. Styler was involved in the crimes,’ the DA said in the release to Aspen Times.
