On October 7, 1982, 17-year-old Paula Stringer, a Caucasian female, was found dead about a quarter of a mile south of Old Highway 64 near 161st West Avenue in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. The scene showed she had been stabbed and bludgeoned to death.

Authorities have pursued leads for decades. One person was tried for Paula’s murder but was acquitted; the case remains unresolved. The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office lists the homicide as an active investigation and has repeatedly asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Paula, saw her on or before October 7, 1982, or has information about activity near Old Highway 64 and 161st West Avenue that autumn, please contact investigators. Would someone who lived in Sand Springs at the time remember anything that could help?
