''Jan Miller has been missing a piece of her heart since June 29, 1984.
That’s the day her daughter, 19-year-old Veronica Perotti, was found brutally murdered in her college apartment. Her case still has not been solved 41 years later.''
''In the summer of 1984, Roni was living alone in an apartment in Chico, California. She was enrolled in a nursing program at Chico State University, taking a summer class, and working as a hostess at a local restaurant.''
'According to Jan, Roni was supposed to be at work around noon on June 29, but did not show up.'
“She had been brutally beaten to death,” Jan said, adding that the beating was to the point that the mortuary recommended she not open the casket for Roni’s funeral. “I totally lost my mind.”
'According to Jan, police believed Roni likely knew her killer. “Probably it was the person came over and she let them in,” she said.'
''Megan McCann from the BCSO described Roni’s case as an active homicide investigation. “BCSO diligently investigates all homicide cases, and in the past few years we’ve been successful at solving multiple cold cases,” she said in her email. “BCSO continues to look at emerging technologies, to include advancements in DNA technology to assist in solving cold cases.”
