Breakthrough cracks cold case 35 years later
SUMMARY: The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 55-year-old Glenda Armstrong for the 1989 murder of James “Hippie” Webster, who was stabbed outside a now-closed nightclub. The case had gone cold due to a lack of new information until a witness approached the sheriff’s office with crucial details. Sheriff Greg Pollan emphasized the importance of community involvement in solving cases. Following the new testimony, additional witnesses came forward, confirming the information. Armstrong has been charged with murder and denied bond, with the case set to go before the Grand Jury in October.
