Noffsinger Trial Scheduled To Begin In April

The trial of a Defi­ance man in con­nec­tion to the death more than thirty years ago, of an Oak­wood woman has been sched­uled.

58 year old Steven Noff­singer, of Defi­ance, will go on trial the week of April 27 in Pauld­ing County Court. Noff­singer is charged with aggra­vated mur­der in the death of his ex-wife, 29 year old Alma Noff­singer, whose body was found at her Oak­wood home in Decem­ber 1981.

If con­victed of the aggra­vated mur­der charge, Noff­singer could face life in prison with eli­gi­bil­ity for parole only after serv­ing 20 years behind bars.

Alma Noffsinger’s mur­der case received national atten­tion after it was fea­tured on TNT’s “Cold Jus­tice” last August.
