This is a timeline of how scientific development and forensic individuals and organizations were able to solve the mystery of Buckskin Girl's identity.
April 24, 1981: The fully-clothed body of an unnamed female homicide victim is discovered in a ditch alongside Greenlee Road in Troy, Ohio.
2001: The Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab generates the victim’s nuclear DNA profile.
2008: The profile of ‘Buckskin Girl’ is entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.
2009: Victim’s mitochondrial DNA profile is developed at the NamUs DNA lab at the University of North Texas. Both the nuclear and mitochondrial genetic profiles are then entered into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System.
2010: NamUs case management is assigned to Dr. Elizabeth Murray, a forensic anthropologist and Professor of Biology at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati.
February 2016: A new facial image is generated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
April 2016: Pollen studies are conducted on the victim’s clothing by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency.
June 2016: Stable isotope studies are conducted on victim’s hair in an effort to trace the victim’s location and geographic movements in the last year of life.
April 9, 2018: The Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab makes DNA confirmation and positively identifies victim as Marcia King, 21, from Arkansas.
