Paula is the cousin of my mother in law. There is only limited information available but I found it interesting to note at least one other female was abducted and killed from a bowling alley in the immediate area. The family indicates Paula was stabbed, not shot, and the feeling is her ex was involved. I looked at Fort Worth (Tarrant Co.) PD Cold Case files and hers is not listed. I found very little information and nothing "official" to go on but feel someone should follow up on this case. My in-laws aren't as curious as I am, preferring to leave this painful chapter closed. Any suggestions on how I can find out more on my own?
I know her DOB and estimated date of death. I am not sure what I can link here and what is allowed. Her married name was Davenport, maiden name is Puckett. Found this on a genealogy site:
8-1 PAULA JEAN PUCKETT: born 19 November 1953 died 28 April 1978, Handley, Texas. Married RR <modsnip> DAVENPORT 5 December 1975, Fort Worth, Texas. She was kidnapped from the parking lot where she had bowled with a team from where she worked. It was several days before they found her shot to death. She was a beautiful girl with big brown eyes and long dark hair. They never did find who killed her. She is buried at the Bluebonnet Hills Cemetery, Colleyville, Texas. Their child:
----9-1 SR <modsnip> DAVENPORT: born 7 October 1976, Fort Worth. Texas
I searched for more info on her ex and her son but found absolutely nothing!
