In the small quaint town of Springfield, Oh life on a normal day seems joyful and quiet. Springfield has many nicknames, like the Champion City, named after the large farm equipment manufacturer that eventually would be known as International Harvester. The city is also known as the Home City or the City of Roses, each portraying a warm and kind city in the heart of the state of Ohio. It is home to one of the country's oldest universities, Wittenburg University with it's campus of rolling hills and beautiful oak trees. Springfield has many beautiful parks for people to walk, play, and just relax. But on the night of July 9, 2007 the darkness of this quiet town hid the act of a horrible human being. That night the calm of the city was disturbed by the call of a Springfield City Police Officer stating he may have hit a person lying in the dark street of a city park. The officer had come upon the body of Miss Buffy Jo Freeman. She had been badly beaten and possibly strangled to death by a monster in the dark. Today Buffy's killer has not been exposed and they are the only one to know about her One Bad Night in the Park.
