So this is interesting. Apparently her new gravestone gives her name as "Marcia L. Sossoman (King)", and yes the parentheses are right there in stone.[1]Kendall-K1 (talk) 02:44, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should use the name on her gravestone in the article, even though police and news originally referred to her as Marcia King. Her father was named Sossoman and her mother King; they divorced and it looks as if their children together were named King. Her father remarried and had several more children. It appears her stepmother, Cindy Sossoman, and that side of the family were responsible for arranging for the memorial service and installation of a new gravestone. This may account for this version of her name; it is the official one.Parkwells (talk) 16:33, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Since she was identified, should the article be renamed by her official name, and made more biographical? She is notable because of being identified 37 years after her death, not because she was a murder victim. There is family information that could be added to a biography.Parkwells (talk) 16:51, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
