**IDENTIFIED**
Hey everyone, I was recently researching some old unsolved cases I've posted about here in the past and found out that "The Buckskin girl" has finally been identified.
If you remember, the Buckskin girl, (who was nicknamed so on account of a unique handmade, deer skin poncho she was found wearing) was an unidentified, female homicide victim found in Troy, Ohio, on April 23rd 1981.
To quote my original post on the case:
"She was found fully clothed, although shoeless, with no signs of sexual assault. She had died due to blunt trauma to the head. Believed to have possibly been a hitchhiking teenage runaway, or even the possible victim of a serial killer, she was estimated between the ages of 18 - 26. She was white, between 5'4 and 5'6, with brown eyes and brown / red hair parted in the center and pulled back into two high braids. She had a scar on her chin, wrist, arm and ankle.

She was white, between 5'4 and 5'6, with brown eyes and brown / red hair parted in the center and pulled back into two high braids. She had a scar on her chin, wrist, arm and ankle.
Due to the good condition of the body, investigators were able to obtain DNA, finger prints and dental information. Despite having the samples, the Buckskin girl has lay unidentified in Riverside cemetery, Troy, Ohio for 34 years, So, who was the Buckskin girl? And who killed her?"
Well it seems we can answer at least one of those questions now: Her name was Marcia Lenore King.
She was 21 years old and came from Littlerock, Arkansas. She was identified recently using her DNA with the help of the DNA Doe project (Read their FB update on the case HERE)

..(Sighhh...).., I'm not sure anymore which is more mysterious..that there seems to be soo many heartless, soulless monsters willing to do these things to others.., only to."discard" them "after", like "trash"... Or that there seems to be soo few of us that actually still "FEEL" something for these victims.., these PEOPLE, whose LIVES & very HUMANITY have been selfishly & viciously wrenched away from them..Forever. -~-~ This is a GOOD THING you do here..You keep their MEMORY alive for them..now that they no longer can. Truly, More Power To Ya..!!! ��
ReplyDeleteAmen!❤
DeleteI think that there are many who do care. And probably others who are so overwhelmed by the overload of violence and tragedy that they have to shut parts of themselves down in order to survive the trauma & to function.
Sad times.
May this madness end NOW! 🌟
Please God! 🙏
I agree!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for honoring the lives of these poor victims by trying to discover the facts around their deaths & obtain justice for them.
God bless the Souls of these tragic victims. May they rest in peace, & eternal joy with God.
God bless the families & friends of the victims--may He bring them comfort, strength, ANSWERS,& justice. And as much peace as possible under the circumstances.
I'm sure you're right about that,REDWOODREBELGIRL..When I posted my comment at the time, it was a pretty emotionally charged, sweeping generalization..(!!) I'm certain there are many of us just as shocked, sickened, stunned,and mortified by this type of HORRIFICALLY VICIOUS/POINTLESS "BEHAVIOUR".., Because the sheer Tragedy of it surely touches us ALL. Bless your heart for speaking up Rebelgirl !! ~Peace
