Pamela Armstrong was 22 when her body was found in an alley near Beech Street in Louisville, Kentucky, in June 1983. She had been shot in the head and was a mother of five; the killing remained unsolved for many years.

The case was reopened in 2004 by the Louisville Metro Police Cold Case Unit. Investigators obtained a DNA profile from material on Armstrong’s clothing and later matched it to DNA from a cigar discarded by Larry Lamont White during a traffic stop. White, already a convicted felon who had served time for two other murders that summer in 1983, was charged in 2007 with Armstrong’s rape and murder.

In 2014 a jury found White guilty of rape and murder and recommended death for the homicide and 20 years for the rape. The death sentence has since been the subject of review by the state Supreme Court following White’s claim of intellectual disability.

If anyone knew Pamela or has information about her life or the events in Louisville in 1983, please share what you remember.
