Summary

In November of 2017, patrol officers from the small city of Corinth came across a vehicle parked in a vacant lot with the lights on. They approached the suspicious car and discovered the body of a woman, riddled with gunshot wounds. She was soon identified as Amanda Clairmont, a 21-year-old well-liked University of North Texas student. A motive for the young woman’s murder eluded investigators and so did evidence. The last time a homicide investigation was conducted in Corinth, it didn’t go much better according to many.

If you know anything or saw Amanda Marie Clairmont on the night of November 18th, 2017, please call Corinth Police at 940 279 1500. Submit anonymous tips to Denton County Crime Stoppers by calling 800-388-TIPS (8477). You might also be eligible for a reward.
