On a side road in the small rural town of Troy, Ohio, the body of a young woman was found face down in a ditch. Her body was positioned in a manner that appeared to be staged by the perpetrator. She was placed in that ditch with her arms laid straight out and her bare feet crossed almost as if she was on a cross. Was this a symbol left by the killer? Was this a ritual or was it a way to ask for forgiveness? The unfortunate hurdle the police had to jump was who was this beautiful young woman and why would anyone want to kill her? The question of who she was was not answered for nearly 35 years after her death. She was known for all this time as the "Buckskin Girl", because of the buckskin jacket she was found wearing at the time. With the determination and hard work of a Detective who could not let it go and a large team of scientists she was finally identified as Marcia King. She was a young woman trying to find her way in life. She was a drifter who suffered from mental illness. Marcia left home from Arkansas and was last seen alive in Louisville, Ky. She was known to hitchhike and it appeared as if she may have been trying to get to a local religious group when she took a ride with the wrong person. She was badly beaten and strangled and left on the side of the road to die. Detective Hickey just had to keep going and he believes Marcia's Final Chapter will end with a conviction very soon.

In a world where addiction is so easy to fall into it is no surprise when it leads to death. Many individuals who fall into this life get there in many different ways. The need to survive is overtaken by the need to escape the world that seems so cruel. The hunger for more is unbearable to the point where anything goes. Joan Palacio was a young woman just trying to survive the highs and lows of Dangerous Living. She was found in a vacant lot in the middle of the day in northern Ohio. She was seemingly thrown out with no regard for who she really was. Her lifestyle did not define the type of person she truly was. She was warm-hearted with a desire to be a good mother.
