It’s been 53 years 0 months 28 days & Pauline Storment’s Murder IS STILL UNSOLVED
On April 12, 1971, Pauline Frances Storment, a 27-year-old University of Arkansas student, tragically fell victim to a brutal attack, sustaining eight stab wounds across her hands, an arm, chest, and stomach where she would die an hour later in surgery. Regrettably, even after decades, justice remains elusive in her case.
I’m Lance J. Gosnell, a distant relative of Pauline, connected through familial ties with her aunt, Lela (Storment) Stacks being one of my great-grandmothers. My maternal lineage traces back to Pauline’s family, and her story has lingered in my consciousness since childhood. While the details of her demise were slightly misconstrued—her untimely end occurred within the vicinity of the University of Arkansas campus rather than directly on it—the mystery surrounding her death has fueled my curiosity for years. Eventually, I resolved to delve into the investigation myself.
This website serves a dual purpose: to uncover any overlooked clues or insights that may aid law enforcement in solving Pauline’s case and to reignite public interest and awareness. Despite the passage of time, her memory deserves to be upheld, and justice for her remains a priority.
