Stabbing Death of Insurance Executive in Simsbury Still a Mystery

Simsbury police have "nothing to report" on the investigation into the murder of insurance executive Melissa Millan last November.

After her body was found on the jogging trail along Iron Horse Boulevard on Nov. 20, 2014, police called in detectives from the federal and state governments. They have pursued leads ever since, Chief Peter Ingvertsen told NBC Connecticut News.

Ingvertsen said police want answers much as anyone does in Simsbury. A small memorial still marks the spot along the trail where Millan, a 54-year-old mom and senior vice president at Mass Mutual Insurance, was found stabbed to death.

"It's terrible that it hasn't been solved yet," said a local resident who stopped by a makeshift memorial for Millan.

"We worry that there could be someone capable of that around," said another resident. "It's very sad. Every time we walk – we walk here all the time – we think of her."

It's still not clear who killed Millan or why.
