Charles Preston Paramore (July 2, 1951 – Jan 11, 1966)

Charles Preston Paramore was 14 years old when he became the victim of a hit-and-run. He was on his newspaper route in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The newspapers have little information about this case. According to the Paramore family, his father found him and was with him when he died.

The driver did not just hit a child, they left a child to die.

If an ambulance had been called in time, Charles might have been saved. Causing an accident and leaving people behind to die, is a crime. Not just actions are punishable by law. Inactions or, omissions, are too.

The hit-and-run happened on the intersection of Sullivan Boulevard and Holladay Lane, Virginia Beach, as per this newspaper article here.

Unfortunately, this is all I have been able to find so far.

Virginia Beach Police do have a cold case unit. However, Charles Paramore’s case is not listed on their website.

In the series “Case of the Month” I highlight old cold cases. These posts are not an in-depth analysis and of course, more information can be found online and in newspaper archives.

We need to get these cases back in the mainstream media, to get people talking again, and if anything, to make sure that we do not forget the victims. Just because their cases are unsolved does not mean that we can forget about them.

With the advances we made in modern forensic sciences, we may have a chance to find clues that previous remained hidden because we didn’t have the technology. Now that we do, let’s review all these old cases once more.

I encourage you to share this post on your own social media platforms. By sharing these posts, the cases reach new networks, new connections, and new online news feeds. Maybe one day these updates will pop up in the right person’s news feed. This may be someone who can actually help advance the case and that is my goal.

Rest in peace, Charles Preston Paramore.

Author Notes

I write about old, unsolved cases from the pre-DNA era as they need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave the active investigation of these cases to professionals.

Posts include homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to these cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme and research. It remains my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the about page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
