Sherry Armstrong was 33 and newly settled in Newport, Kentucky when she was murdered on November 11, 1989. Having moved from Clear Lake, Wisconsin after a divorce, she lived in the Putnam Street home of her boyfriend, Lance Ellinghausen, worked in public relations at Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and planned to study psychology at Northern Kentucky University. She was found just inside a side door, stabbed more than 20 times.

The initial investigation produced few leads and the case went cold. Decades later a convicted murderer, Clifton Cousins, began writing letters to reporters claiming responsibility and offering details not publicly known, but no charges have been filed in connection with Armstrong’s death. The murder remains unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Sherry or who lived near Putnam Street in 1989 see or hear anything that could help bring new information forward?
