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. Nevada County implemented the law in its settlement with the Wilcoxes.
