Morris Cafritz

Real estate developer, and philanthropist

Morris Cafritz (c. 1888 - June 13, 1964) was a Washington, D.C. real estate developer, and philanthropist. As CEO of the Cafritz Company, he was Washington, D.C.'s largest private developer from the late 1920's to the early 1960's.

The Vow: Everything We Know About Pam Cafritz's Life and Mysterious Death
In episode four of HBO's The Vow, we meet the anonymous Jane, a filmmaker and former Dos member. During her time in Nxivm, Jane learned of Pam (or Pamela) Cafritz's death and even created a memorial video for her. While we only hear of her briefly in the docuseries, Pam Cafritz is an important name when it comes to decoding everything that went down in Nxivm. Not only did she rank high in the organization, but she was also Keith Raniere's life partner. Cafritz supported him and his career to the point of enabling his darkest crimes. Even after she died, Cafritz remained relevant to his organization - here's how her story fits into Nxivm's bigger picture.

Cafritz's Life Before Nxivm

Cafritz was the daughter of Washington socialites Buffy and William Cafritz. In old footage featured in the docuseries, Raniere and Cafritz describe meeting at a ski trip when they were younger.
