"Buckskin Girl," has been identified 37 years after the Arkansas woman's body was discovered in a ditch along an Ohio roadway.
The "Buckskin Girl" name came from the distinctive buckskin jacket she was wearing.
Her body was found in Troy in 1981.
On Wednesday, the Miami County Sheriff's Office said the body had been identified using DNA as Marcia King, of Arkansas, who was 21 years old. She died of strangulation and blunt force trauma to the head.
Police say King was never reported as a missing person.
The sheriff's office says investigators are now focused on finding her killer.
