What The Chris Murzin Foundation does
Mission
C.h.r.I.s. Investigates unsolved homicides to sustain investigative efforts by partnering with the private sector to use and research innovative techniques and technology to support law enforcement, advocate for victims, offer hope to survivors and protect affected communities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
