Dream Detectives

Written by Lance J. Gosnell

Josh Banning had always been fascinated with the concept of time travel, but it wasn't until he had a dream about a murder that he began to seriously consider the possibility of traveling back in time. The dream had been so vivid, so real, that he couldn't shake the feeling that he had witnessed something truly horrific.

He confided in his friend Zelphia Lockie, who was an expert on true crime and host of a podcast called Ear Witness. Zelphia was intrigued by Josh's dream and suggested that he may have actually traveled back in time to 1971 and witnessed the murder of Pauline Storment. The unsolved case had haunted the town for over 50 years.

Together, Josh and Zelphia embarked on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth about the murder. They used lucid dreaming as a tool to gather more clues and information about the case. As they got closer to the truth, they faced opposition and danger from those who didn't want the case to be solved.

Josh and Zelphia struggled with the butterfly effect and the limits of their power as they uncovered a web of secrets and conspiracies surrounding the case. They realized that their actions had unintended consequences, and they had to reevaluate their plan to prevent more harm from being done.

Their journey led them to the Old Main building on campus, where they looked out at the landscape around them. They knew that they had changed history, but they were disappointed to learn that no matter how many times they traveled back to April 12th, 1971, they were never able to prevent the murder of Pauline Storment.

As they reflected on their journey, Josh and Zelphia realized that time travel was not a game to be played lightly. They had learned important lessons about the nature of reality and the power of our actions to shape the world around us. They vowed to use their newfound understanding to bring justice to the victims of unsolved crimes, no matter how difficult the journey might be.

The Pauline Storment Story!

Who was Pauline Storment?  Pauline, was an All-American girl,  born on to Paul Storment and Lillian Elam on April 3, 1944, in Ozark, Arkansas.   She was also the granddaughter of former Monterey County, California Sheriff's Deputy Benjamin W. Storment.   At Ozark High School, she served as the President of the Freshman Class, as seen in the picture above. Her closest friends describe her as a kind gentle soul who was very studious and didn't have time for what was called tom-foolery. After attending two years at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, she would eventually marry Charles Joseph Pate in June of 1965 in Booneville, Arkansas. The marriage would only last a year based on an Arkansas State Police multi-state investigation into her death between Memphis, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia though , if there ever was an official divorce certificate by 2022, no record can be found. It was also, discovered by the Arkansas State Police via a statement from, Iris Fletcher, a f

What now, when record keeping FAILS.

Earlier this month I submitted a F.O.I.A request to the Fayetteville, Arkansas Police Department  Seeking as much case information as possible, sadly after 51yrs the case file had been misplaced/lost. I still have F.O.I.A requests out for the Washington County Sherrif's Office and the Arkansas State Police, hopefully one of the other two agencies which worked on the case will come through with better record keeping.

Will They or Won't They: A community waits with baited breath.

Based on witness reports who went on the record and stated they saw Pauline Storment being followed then shortly after her blood curdling screams the assailant ran. Police would catch up to a 17yr old Fayetteville Highschool student. But wait there is more, for they find what what they believe to be the murder weapon stuck in the ground behind a house about 100ft from where Pauline Storment bleeds out. Prosecution considers bringing fourth charges.
