A socialite who was once engaged to Michael Douglas has been found dead at a flamboyant US ski resort famous with the rich elite. Nancy Pfister's body, whose family made a fortune in the Levi Strauss jeans brand and the publisher Random House, was discovered in a cupboard in the billionaires' winter playground of Aspen.
Retired doctor William Styler, 65, and his wife Nancy, 62, are said to have murdered the 57-year-old humanitarian after she came back from Australia to confront them over their refusal to pay rent.
Her parents Art and Betty helped set up the world's wealthiest ski resort - nicknamed "Glitter Gulch" - in the 1960s and the family were described as Aspen's "bluebloods".
Pfister was close to the writer Hunter S Thompson and was said to be shortly engaged to Michael Douglas, who had a residence in Aspen and invested heavily in its development in the early 1990s.
Just four days before her passing, Pfister returned early from a study trip to Australia after sharing on facebook that her tenants were "not paying rent" and "haven't paid utilities". "The people that were supposedly taking care of my house are not doing what they said they would do," she posted.
According to locals, Pfister was a generous and beloved member of the Aspen community who "managed to befriend royalty and service industry workers alike".
Her daughter Juliana stated that her mom had also sounded so pleased in her final days that the police's initial theory that she had committed suicide "just didn't make sense".
She declared: "I have no idea how someone could do something like that and especially to her. My mum could never hurt anything or hurt anyone and that is one thing that everyone who knew her knew."
