Little Rock family hopes social media can help with 31-year-old missing person’s case

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – It’s been over 30 years since a Cabot woman went missing in Little Rock, now Pamela Golden’s sister is hoping that in the age of social media, her family will finally get answers and closure.

Rita Hall says that 43-year-old Golden was reported missing on July 22, 1993, after she left Hall’s store Cloverdale Florist to help a friend move but went in the wrong direction.

“She was going to help a friend of hers move,” Hall said. “I said, ‘When you pull out of the parking lot, you take a left,’ and when she pulled out of the parking lot she took a right.”

Hall said since that day she and her family have never seen or heard from Golden again, believing something horrible happened.

“Me and the rest of the family think she was murdered.” Hall continued, “There is no way in the world she would voluntarily leave her family.”

Hall said Golden was a mother of two and loved her sons. She adds, over the years her sister’s case has had many dead ends and she’s frustrated with the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, which is over the case.

“I’ve gotten the run around for over 30 years, I mean they don’t care,” Hall said.

FOX 16 News reached out to the sheriff’s office about Hall’s concerns, but they said they have no statement.

However, officials did say the case is under investigation, but no new leads exist.

“If we would have had social media back then I think that would have got the word out sooner,” Hall said.

Hall says her family has been active on social media to share Golden’s name, hoping that could lead to answers.

“She has her own Facebook page, and we get views all the time on that.” Hall says, “She (her picture) has been on television over the years.”

Hall said she and Golden were very close and she won’t give up hope.

“I mean she was literally my hero,” Hall said.

Hall says the hardest part about everything is not knowing what happened to her sister.

PCSO says they’re asking the public for assistance.

If anyone has or develops any information on Pamela Golden’s case, they are encouraged to contact the Criminal Investigation Division at 501-340-6963 or the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 501-340-8477 (TIPS).
