Dr. No

Dr. No is the nickname given to a suspected American serial killer thought to be responsible for the murders of at least nine women and girls in Ohio, between 1981 and 1990. As victims, he primarily chose prostitutes working in parking lots and truck stops located alongside Interstate 71. There are suspicions that he committed three similar killings in New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania, between 1986 and 1988. In 2019, Dr No was identified as Samuel Legg III using familial DNA to link him to the crime. Murders Some of the victims were prostitutes at the Union 76 truck stop in Austintown, east of Akron and west of Youngstown, which is the largest in Ohio, leading the investigators to suspect that the killer was a truck driver. Most victims were found without underwear and shoes. The killings began in 1981, when the body of a young woman was found in Miami County, Ohio on April 24. After a forensic examination, it was determined that the victim died from strangulation, having received a head injury beforehand. At the time of her discovery, no personal belongings or documents were found, making her identification difficult. She was well-groomed, and there was no evidence of sexual assault; investigators did not characterize her as a prostitute. She was nicknamed "Buckskin Girl", from a tasseled buckskin poncho she was wearing. In 2018, the victim was finally identified as Marcia King.
