Marin investigators link 1973 murder to Idaho man
Investigators have arrested an Idaho resident on suspicion of murdering a San Rafael woman in 1973, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday.
Michael Eugene Mullen, 75, was linked by DNA evidence to the case of Nina Fischer, who was slain at her home on Point San Pedro Road. Fischer was 31 years old.
Authorities booked Mullen into the Lemhi County jail in Idaho, where he awaits court proceedings for an extradition to California.
The victim’s husband, Gunnar Fischer, found her body after coming home in the evening from his office in San Francisco, authorities reported at the time. She had been bound, gagged and shot twice.
Investigators found no sign of forced entry into the home. The Fischers’ 2-year-old daughter was found unharmed and napping in another room.
The Fischers were Swedish nationals who had lived in the Bay Area for three years. They had plans to move into a San Francisco apartment.
Gunnar was an executive for Corona Industries International Corp. He attempted to call his wife several times on the day she was found dead.
Neighbors last saw Fischer in her yard, where she spoke with a moving crew that delivered a shipment container for her.
“The case was investigated but eventually, unfortunately, went cold, due to a lack of investigative leads,” the sheriff’s office stated Thursday.
In 2021, Marin County sheriff’s detectives submitted the case to the state Department of Justice’s familial search program to help find leads. Within a few months, state authorities gave them a lead, reviving the investigation.
Investigators used DNA evidence collected from the crime scene, sheriff’s Sgt. Adam Schermerhorn said. He said investigators know of no prior connection between Mullen and the victim.
The sheriff’s office credited the Idaho State Police, the Lemhi County Sheriff’s Office, the Marin County District Attorney’s Office, the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for assistance on the case.

On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched major strikes in Tehran, with President Trump calling for an Iranian regime change.

Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea says Democrats are “demanding answers and accountability on behalf of the American people, who are being dragged toward another open-ended war they do not support.”
Necochea says her greatest concern lies with American troops, contractors and civilians who she says “did not choose this conflict.”
“Idaho has thousands of active-duty servicemembers, National Guard members, and military families who live with the consequences when leaders make reckless choices,” she says.
However, not all lawmakers share Necochea’s sentiments.
Idaho Republican representative Mike Simpson commends President Trump’s “decisive action” in Iran.

“Iran was given every opportunity to resolve this peacefully through negotiations but chose not to,” Simpson said in a post to Facebook. “I commend President Trump for taking decisive action against a regime responsible for decades of terror. May God protect our men and women in uniform on this vital mission.”
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – Nearly two-thirds of Idaho voters approved Medicaid expansion, but local leaders say that coverage is now at risk.
According to the organizers of a town hall set for Saturday, February 28, proposed changes could severely impact Idaho’s rural hospitals and leave thousands of residents without access to healthcare.
The town hall, titled “Protecting What Works: Medicaid Expansion in Idaho,” will take place at Chubbuck City Hall from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
A panel of representatives from across the healthcare sector — including home health, hospitals, and public and community health — will answer questions about how Medicaid expansion works in Idaho and how potential cuts could affect communities. Organizers say there will also be time for audience questions.
One of the event organizers told Local News 8 why the discussion is important:
“There have been conversations in the last couple of legislative sessions about either fully repealing Medicaid expansion or making significant cuts to Medicaid,” Shantay Boxham, the organizer, said. “This is an educational forum to ensure voters and community members have the information they need about what the program is, what’s at stake, and how it supports Idaho and Idahoans.”
There are limited seats available for the meeting. To reserve a spot, visit members.pocatello.com.
