How Google's Historical Street View Images Brought Pauline Storment's Story A Bit More Clarity.

For the longest time, I had operated on the assumption that Pauline Storment had been walking on the west side of the road, the left side of this photo, where the better sidewalk is.

Yet going back and reviewing the witness statements from Robert L. Spray and John A. Hall both stated they saw a man park his car close to their address of 12 S. Hill and when he stepped out he was wearing a sport coat possibly brown, he was medium in height, and had a slight build as well as appearing to be very drunk or under the influence of drugs.

Being
perplexed about the location of the only utility pole I could find in
the area on the street in 2022 had me thinking my cousin put up one hell
of a fight for her belonging to have been scattered at the light pole
as Gary Gammil had stated, so I went back in time with Google Street
View to 2007 and it revealed a much closer light pole at the
intersection.

This
new discovery now suggests Pauline Storment was indeed walking South on
Duncan Ave and she was on the east side of the road/right side of the
photo when she was stabbed seven times. It was at this point the killer
may have been spooked because Pauline let out a loud enough scream that
her murderer fled the area, likely to the east towards 12 S. Hill, where
Robert L. Spray & John A. Hall saw the strange man.

However,
unless during her last moments she was very confused, which is
possible, she told Mike Adair that her attacker ran back towards the
University which would have been north on Duncan and not towards 12 S.
