In 1987, Canadian couple Tanya Van Cuylenborg and Jay Cook embarked on a short trip to Seattle—but never returned home. Their bodies were found days apart, brutally murdered in remote areas of Washington State. With few leads and no clear motive, the case went cold for over 30 years. In this gripping episode, we explore the haunting details of the couple’s final hours, the trail of evidence left behind, and how a revolutionary tool—genetic genealogy—finally identified their killer in 2018. This case not only marked a turning point in forensic science but also brought long-overdue answers to two devastated families.
