Michelle Denise Stinson was 20 when she was murdered in her Charlotte apartment on September 14, 1993. A college student at Central Piedmont Community College and a single mother of two young sons, she lived in a modest residence where her body was found the next morning by a friend who had been told by one of the children that their mother was asleep on the kitchen floor. The friend discovered Michelle’s body surrounded by blood and the phone cord had been severed; the children were left unattended.

The autopsy documented four stab wounds to her back, two penetrating the heart and lungs, and signs of ligature strangulation with abrasions, contusions and hemorrhaging in the facial tissues and neck muscles. The medical examiner ruled the stab wounds the cause of death, with strangulation a contributing factor.

Her murder was later linked to Henry Louis Wallace, who had known Michelle from her visits to a Taco Bell where he worked.

Does anyone have memories of Michelle, her family, or details about her life in Charlotte that could help keep her story in view?
