April 3, 1982, Stephanie Roper was a college senior at Frostburg State University, Home for a weekend visit with her family. Stephanie left her friend’s home and her car became disabled. Two men came upon Stephanie and kidnapped her, and over a five-hour period, brutally raped, tortured, and murdered her. In Stephanie’s memory, her parents, Vince and Roberta Roper created The Stephanie Roper Committee and Foundation Inc.

Over 40 years later, the organization, now the Maryland Crime Victims’ Resource Center, Inc., is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to serving the interests of crime victims in Maryland, while maintaining a nationwide reputation for dedicated advocacy and services.
