Ole Miss student Ally Kostial found dead in Lafayette County

A routine patrol of Harmontown, a small town north of Oxford, led a Lafayette County deputy to find the body of a female Ole Miss student Saturday morning. 

The body was identified as 21-year-old Alexandria “Ally” Kostial, a marketing major from St. Louis, Missouri. It is apparent that foul play was involved.

““Ally was a valued member of our campus community,” Sparks said. “We extend our deepest sympathy to her family, friends and classmates and stand ready to support them during this time. We appreciate the work of the Lafayette County Sherriff’s Department and Coroner as they conduct their investigation.”

Few details are being released at this time, and this is an ongoing investigation.
