JAN MILLER - In 1991, Jan co-founded the group Citizens Against Homicide with Jane Alexander, who spent 13 years tracking down and putting away the man who murdered her 88-year-old aunt. Jan's own 19-year-old daughter Victoria, a freshman at Chico State, was murdered in 1984. That case remains unsolved. 

Citizens Against Homicide is a nonprofit that provides support for the families and friends of homicide victims in their effort to compel law-enforcement agencies to be more responsive. Jan won the Jefferson award in 2016 for her work helping families who have lost loved ones to violent crime.

Homicide Detective STEVE NASH - Retired Detective Steve Nash of the Marin County Sheriff’s Office grew up in Marin. After a 4-year enlistment in the US Navy as Flight Crew on large Navy Jets, he began his 32-year career in Law Enforcement, including 20 years in the Investigations Division in the Sheriff's Office.

Steve is the past president of a worldwide law enforcement organization of 80 Foreign Countries and 8,000 members. He has co-authored two crime scene manuals and prepared training for the UN.

He will talk about a nonprofit he helped start to investigate cold case homicides for agencies that do not have the manpower or the financial funds to conduct the investigations. As part of his discussion, he will touch on Marin County cold cases he worked on prior to retirement.
