(MCVRC), a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that crime victims are treated with dignity and compassion, is honored to announce the generous donation of two burial plots at Fort Lincoln Cemetery from the Estate of Doris C.

Founded in honor of Stephanie Roper, a young woman brutally murdered in 1982, MCVRC continues the work of the Stephanie Roper Committee and Foundation.
