Proud to have contributed to this family finally learning what happened to their loved one, who went missing in Tucson in 1975.

We’d like to take a moment to recognize one of our Board Members, Nicole Roach Four years ago, while attending Illinois State University, she launched an online advocacy effort for Carol Rofstad, a student who was tragically murdered on campus in 1975. Her case remains unsolved.

This month, Carol’s family was presented with her degree, and a memorial bench was unveiled in her honor.

We’re grateful to Nicole—and to all those who continue to keep cold cases like Carol’s at the forefront—ensuring they are never forgotten.
