Marilyn has been involved in the missing persons field since Justin went missing after that fateful Monday morning on November 20, 2017.

Her professional experience has focused on care giving, business management, consulting, and serving others. When Justin went missing, she maintained those focuses but went in another direction.

Now, Marilyn helps to provide care and support with her unique perspective on missing persons by serving with:

• Board of Directors, Cold Case Coalition, a 501(c)3 whose mission is to help with unsolved homicides and disappearances.
• Board of Directors, Intermountain Forensics, a 501(c)3 founded by the Cold Case Coalition which provides private and public forensic DNA testing.
• Executive Committee, The Missing Coalition, the new project of the Cold Case Coalition to help gather information and investigate missing persons cases that aren't yet "cold".
