Murder at the Lil’ Champ – The Terry Paquette Case

On a quiet February morning in 1996, 31-year-old Terry Paquette showed up early to work at the Lil’ Champ convenience store in Orlando. Hours later, his coworkers walked into one of the most horrifying crime scenes the area had ever seen—Terry was found brutally murdered in the store’s bathroom. He had been stabbed 73 times, his throat was slashed, and blood covered the floor, the walls, even the stall doors. But despite DNA left at the scene… the case went cold.

For 26 years, Terry’s killer walked free.

In this episode of Crime Clueless, we dig into the murder that haunted investigators for decades. We explore the frustratingly stagnant early investigation, the mystery surrounding the crime scene, and how, thanks to genetic genealogy and a few discarded beer cans, a name finally emerged: Kenneth Stough Jr. The arrest, trial, and conviction that followed proved one thing—justice might be slow, but it never forgets.

We’ll break down how this case was solved, what took so long, and why Terry’s story deserves to be remembered—not just for how he died, but for how long it took to say his name with justice behind it.
