This site is a memorial to the women whose lives were ended abruptly and violently at the hands of a husband, ex-husband, partner or acquaintance in Northwest Ohio. Please click each name to read a woman's story and remember her.

Retired Witnesses After 10 years figures are retired. Each individual's plaque continues to lie on display, but the actual silhouette is reused for new and current witnesses.
