The victim, 31-year-old Nina Fischer, was found bound and shot to death at her family’s home on Point San Pedro Road. The case remained unsolved for decades, but investigators arrested Mullen in August after DNA evidence linked him to the crime, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said. Mullen used to live in Sonoma County.
Mullen was held at a jail in Idaho until his extradition was completed and Marin County authorities took him into custody on Thursday.
