Cold Case Murder Trial Getting Underway

An aggra­vated mur­der trial gets under­way today in Pauld­ing. It involves a cold case, going all the way back to 1981. 59 year old Steven Noff­singer of Defi­ance, is charged with the mur­der of his ex-wife, Alma Noff­singer back in 1981. If con­victed, Noff­singer could get 20 years to life in prison. The Noff­singer case gath­ered national atten­tion after it was fea­tured on TNT’s “Cold Jus­tice” in August 2014. Alma Noffsinger’s body was found in her Oak­wood home on Dec. 17, 1981 by a neigh­bor. At the time of her death, the mother of three was going through a divorce with Noff­singer. The two were in a cus­tody bat­tle over their child.
