On September 2, 1971, Carolyn Yvonne Kingston, a 35-year-old White woman working as a clerk at Natter’s Market in Salt Lake City, was shot in the head during an armed robbery while her two small children were in the store. A .22 caliber round also fatally struck 24-year-old deliveryman Michael Preston Bown that day; a second deliveryman was shot at but the assailant’s weapon failed to discharge. Carolyn was taken to a hospital and survived in a severely injured state for more than two years, undergoing multiple surgeries before dying of her wounds on October 15, 1973.

The suspect was described as a male of medium complexion, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing roughly 150 pounds, with dark hair. Despite that description and an investigation, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone recall seeing a man matching that description near Natter’s Market on or around September 2, 1971, or have information about the robbery?
