Nick and Amanda Wilcox sit by a marker for their daughter Laura near a trail where she used to jog behind their home in Penn Valley. After Laura's death in a 2001 shooting rampage, the Wilcoxes pushed for Laura's Law, authorizing counties to be more assertive in the treatment of extremely mentally ill people.
