[Former] Black Hawk County Sheriff Mike Kubik said officials weren’t sure if the body had been dumped at the creek or if the death occurred there, and no arrests have been made in the case.
Officials said Buck did not have a permanent address, but was from the Waterloo area. She had worked as a nurse’s aid and later worked at Ravenwood Health Care Center.
Family and friends have described Buck as a woman with a big heart who loved her four children, but who fell upon hard times and in with the wrong crowd.
In 1970 at age 12, Buck was selected as the Evansdale Junior Miss, was a violinist in the school orchestra and also was interested in horseback riding. Prior to her death, she had served time in prison for prostitution and battled a substance abuse problem, but had been attending school in Madison, Wis., to become a radio announcer.
