Travelling tribute to murder victims. The Murder Wall is a travelling tribute composed of hundreds of solid Walnut plaques engraved with the names of murder victims. Each plaque displays 120 names, dates of birth, and dates of death. The memorial was conceived by Parents of Murdered Children (POMC) Executive Director Nancy Ruhe-Munch in 1987.
