Buckskin Girl is a young woman who was murdered and found dead in April 1981, in Troy, Ohio, 50 miles north of The Ohio River. She was given the name 'Buckskin Girl' because of the unique deerskin jacket/poncho she was found wearing. In 2016, she is talked about by Joe Winko in an episode of Chilling Crimes.
Identified
In April of 2018, it was announced that Buckskin Girl had been identified as Marcia King, a 21 year old woman who lived in Arkansas. Many sources claimed that she hitched hiked to Louisville, Kentucky and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the month leading up to her death. Her killer still has yet to be found.
Joe Winko was made aware of her identification by comments and messages from his YouTube followers. Joe Winko has not talked about her case specifically since she had been identified, but he had mentioned in his All the Places I want to Roadtrip To episode of Joe Winko Talk, that he still plans on visiting her grave.
Joe Winko also made a short memorial video in honor of Marcia King's memory. Including pictures of her over a video of the Ohio River.
Marcia King's Grave
Marcia King is buried at the Riverside Cemetery in Troy, Ohio. After she was identified, her headstone was replaced. Joe Winko had always wanted to visit her grave and pay his respects to her. In October of 2018, Joe Winko finally got the chance to visit Marcia King's/Buckskin Girl's grave.
While at her grave Joe Winko expressed that he was very saddened by her death and also mentions that he almost ended up like her, due to the time when he almost ran away and died in Arkansas, where his body would most likely have never been identified. Joe Winko also hopes that whoever murdered her will face justice one day, and that Marcia King will never be forgotten.
