Pauline Storment Case Files Found – When Local Police Misplace Case Files always F.O.I.A. multiple agencies.

 A while back I submitted a F.O.I.A. request to the Fayetteville Police for the records on my twice removed first cousin, Pauline Storment’s April 12, 1971, stabbing death I was informed after an exhaustive search of the station and off site storage they were unable to find the case files, and stated the would keep the request active should they turn up.

It was at that point I chose to submit a F.O.I.A. request to Washington County Sheriff”s Office of which three days have passed and I have heard NOTHING from them not even an acknowledgement that they received my request.

I also submitted a request to the Arkansas State Police and after on the 7th day including the weekend I was emailed the case files they had archived.

Pauline Storment – Arkansas State Police F.O.I.A. Request Results.

What now, when record keeping FAILS.

Earlier this month I submitted a F.O.I.A request to the Fayetteville, Arkansas Police Department 

Seeking as much case information as possible, sadly after 51yrs the case file had been misplaced/lost.

I still have F.O.I.A requests out for the Washington County Sherrif’s Office and the Arkansas State Police, hopefully one of the other two agencies which worked on the case will come through with better record keeping.
