In April 1981, the body of a young white woman was found in a ditch on Greenlee Road in Newton Township, Ohio. She was wearing a buckskin poncho, so investigators called her the "Buckskin Girl."
That same day, her body was examined. It was found that she had suffered serious injuries to her head and neck before being strangled to death about 48 hours before her body was found.
Despite many years of hard work by investigators, the identity of the Buckskin Girl remained unknown for over 30 years.
On April 9, 2018, the Miami Valley Regional Crime Laboratory announced that they had identified the woman as 21-year-old Marcia Lenore King from Little Rock, Arkansas.
Marcia had last been seen by her family in 1980. Although she wasn’t officially reported missing, her family had kept searching for her.
The identification was made possible by detailed DNA testing. Sadly, the person who caused her death has still not been found.
