Marcia Lenore Sossoman King[4] ((1959-06-09)June 9, 1959 – (1981-04-22)April 22, 1981) was a 21-year-old Arkansas woman who was murdered in April 1981 and whose body was discovered in Troy, Ohio approximately 48 hours after her murder. Her body remained unidentified for almost 37 years before being identified via DNA analysis and genetic genealogy in April 2018.[5] King was one of the first unidentified decedents to be identified via this method of forensic investigation.[6]
Prior to her 2018 identification, King was informally known as "Buckskin Girl" and "Miami County Jane Doe".[7] The first of these two names is in reference to the distinctive tasseled buckskin poncho[8] she was wearing at the time of her discovery.[9][10]
Following the identification of her body, Marcia King's family erected a new headstone at her grave in Riverside Cemetery, inscribed with her actual name. The investigation into her murder is ongoing.[4]
