The First Ever Cold Case Solved by a Stranger’s Family Tree (Washington 1987)

39 years ago, a young Canadian couple boarded a ferry from Victoria to Washington state to run an errand picking up heater parts for his dad and completely vanished leaving two devastated families and a killer walking free among the community for three decades. Their bodies were found 60 miles apart with two completely different manners of death.

 Authorities had clear biological evidence from the very beginning, but no way to know who it belonged to and the investigation dragged on year after year with more than 200 dead-end leads, serial killers considered and ruled out, and one detective who devoted nearly his entire career to a case he refused to give up on.

 Then a complete stranger, a woman who had never heard the names of the two victims, accidentally changed everything simply by uploading her DNA to the internet to build a family tree and a genetic genealogist identified the killer’s two hours from a million DNA profiles using a method that had never been used before in history.

 The arrest that followed shocked the entire community. Before we dive deep into this story, let us know where you’re watching from and if you like videos like this, don’t forget to subscribe to the channel. Tanya Van Cuylenborg, 18 years old, had just graduated high school in Saanich, British Columbia, a quiet town on Vancouver Island.

 She was in the most beautiful stage of youth, freshly out of school, figuring out her future, and experiencing first love, a beautiful 18-year-old romance. Her father, William Van Cuylenborg, recalled that he felt Tanya and Jay were a great match and he wasn’t worried at all about letting them go together.

 That was the level of trust parents only give to people they know their child is safe with. Tanya brought her Minolta X-700 camera on the trip. She wanted to capture their first trip together. Her boyfriend, Jay Cook, 20 years old, also lived in Saanich. The two had been dating for about 6 months. Jay was the only son in the Cook family.

His mother, Leona, believed Tanya was very special to her son. The trip started from the most ordinary reason possible. Jay’s father needed heater parts from Jenco Heating in Seattle and Jay volunteered to go pick them up. This was the first time the two had the chance to travel far together and they turned it into something bigger than just a supply run, a trip just for the two of them spending one night in the Cook family’s old van, driving home the next morning with the parts and the photos from Tanya’s camera. On the

evening of November 18th, 1987, Jay and Tanya boarded the first ferry from Sidney, British Columbia to Port Angeles, then transferred to the second ferry from Bremerton to Seattle at 10:16 p.m. The ferry docked in Seattle around 11:30 p.m. and from that moment, no one knew where they went. There were no phone calls home.

 The next morning, when Jenco Heating opened, no one showed up to pick up the order. This was not normal. Jay and Tanya were both reliable young people who always stayed in touch with their families, people who didn’t just disappear without telling anyone. On the evening of November 19th, when the couple should have been home since the afternoon, the phones at both the Cook and Van Cuylenborg families didn’t ring.

 The families reported them missing to the police immediately. The search began. But Jay and Tanya were no longer in Canada. They were somewhere in the United States, in the state of Washington, in a place where the families had no connections, didn’t know where to start looking, and had no leads to follow. The two families in Saanich waited, not knowing that the answer, when it came a few days later, would not be any of the answers they had been praying for.

 On November 24th, 1987, 6 days after the ferry left Victoria, a passerby on a rural road near Alger, Skagit County, Washington, saw something no one wants to see. Tanya Van Cuylenborg’s body was lying in a ditch beside the road under a steep embankment, dumped in a cruel way. She was naked from the waist down. She had been raped.

 She had been shot in the back of the head. Her hands were bound behind her back with plastic zip ties. She was 18 years old, freshly graduated from high school, experiencing first love, carrying her camera to document their first trip together, and she lay in that ditch alone for 6 days before being found. That same day, Tanya’s wallet and keys were found discarded near the Greyhound bus station in Bellingham, a few miles to the north.

The Cook family’s van was found parked in a lot in downtown Bellingham, a few blocks from the Greyhound station. Inside the van, police found what the killer had left behind. Zip ties of the same type used to bind Tanya, plastic gloves, receipts including the Bremerton-Seattle ferry ticket confirming the couple had taken the ferry on the night of November 18th, and among those items was something whose importance police could not yet know would be so enormous 31 years later.

Tanya’s black pants, the one she had been wearing the night she was murdered, which would become the central piece of evidence in the entire case. But the Minolta X-700 camera that Tanya had brought, the one she planned to use to capture the moments of their first trip together, was not in the van. It had disappeared with the killer and was never found. And Jay was still missing.

The Cook family was still waiting, still holding on to a small sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe, he was still alive. Two days later, on November 26th, that hope was shattered. Jay Cook’s body was discovered under the high bridge in Snohomish County, nearly 60 miles south of where Tanya was found, near the Monroe Honor Farm, a local correctional facility.

 Jay had not been shot like Tanya. The killer had used a different method on him, beaten with a rock, strangled with twine and two red dog collars, and one inexplicably cruel symbolic act, a pack of cigarettes stuffed down his throat. Zip ties of the same type used on Tanya were also found near the body. Two people, two locations 60 miles apart, two completely different manners of death, but the same type of ties, the same killer, the same calculated coldness.

 The investigators faced a case that spanned four counties in Washington state. King County, where Jay and Tanya were abducted after leaving the ferry, Skagit County, where Tanya was found, Whatcom County, where the van was found, and Snohomish County, where Jay was found. The killer had moved across the entire area with purpose, scattering evidence, scattering the bodies, creating jurisdictional chaos, and all he had left behind, besides the ties and the bodies, was an unidentified fingerprint on the van and DNA from semen found on Tanya’s black

pants. In 1987, DNA testing had only been used for the first time in a criminal investigation the year before. The technology existed, but it wasn’t enough to do anything with a DNA sample from someone who had never left a trace in any database. When Tanya’s body was found in the roadside ditch near Alger, raped, shot in the back of the head, hands bound, the most basic investigative rule pointed straight to the boyfriend.

 Jay Cook, the only person known to have been with Tanya, whose family’s van was found in Bellingham, and whose body had not yet been found, became the first suspect. Both the Cook and Van Cuylenborg families immediately and angrily rejected the possibility, but police could not ignore it. Then on November 26th, when Jay’s body was found under the high bridge, also bound, also brutally killed, also with zip ties, the suspicion against him vanished completely. Both were victims.

 The killer was a third person. From the semen found on Tanya’s black pants, forensic scientists developed the suspect’s DNA profile, named individual A. This DNA did not match Jay Cook. It did not match anyone in the available criminal databases at the time. This was the most direct and clearest evidence of the killer, but there was no way to know who it belonged to if that person had never left a trace in the system.

 In 2003, the criminal database containing DNA from millions of people who had been arrested across the United States. The result, nothing matched. Individual A was not in the system. Over the years, more than 200 names crossed Detective Jim Scharf’s desk, the man who would become synonymous with this case for decades.

The two most prominent names among them were Robert Yates and Charles Sinclair, two serial killers who had been active in the Seattle area in 1987. Both had attacked women and both could have been in the right area at the right time. Both were thoroughly investigated and DNA results completely ruled both of them out.

 It was not Yates, not Sinclair. Each time a name was ruled out, individual A remained unknown and the list of dead ends grew longer by one more line. One month after the murders, the families of Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg began receiving anonymous letters, threatening, terrifying letters written by someone claiming to be the person who had killed Jay and Tanya.

 The letters came from various locations over the years, raising a question for police. Was this the real killer taunting the families or was it someone completely different exploiting the case to satisfy something in their own mind? Police pursued leads from these letters in parallel with the main investigation, adding resources, time, and effort to a direction that ultimately led nowhere.

It wasn’t until 2010 that, thanks to a tip from viewers of the show Washington’s Most Wanted, police finally identified the author of those letters, a Canadian citizen in his 70s with severe mental illness who had heard about the case on the news in 1987 and started writing the letters for reasons no one but him understood.

 He was questioned for many hours and confirmed to have no connection whatsoever to the murders. 23 years had been wasted chasing a distraction from someone completely unrelated to the case. By the early 2000s, the Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg case had become one of Washington State’s most famous and persistent cold cases.

 A case where the killer had left clear DNA and biological evidence that was completely useless because there was no way to connect it to a specific person. Individual A remained unknown. And if the person carrying that DNA profile had never committed any other crime that landed them in the criminal database, he could remain unknown forever, living a normal life while the two families on Vancouver Island continued to wait.

 In 1995, 8 years after Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg were killed, Snohomish County Detective Jim Scharf helped establish a cold case investigation team, and this case was one of the first the team took on. Scharf looked at the file and said, “This is probably the most terrible unsolved case we have.” Tanya Van Cuylenborg was 18 years old, just out of high school, experiencing first love, carrying her camera to document her first trip with Jay, and the killer was still walking free somewhere.

 Scharf didn’t let it go. He wasn’t family to the victims. He had no personal obligation to be more attached to this case than any other, but this one stuck with him, and he became the person most closely associated with it for 23 years, re-interviewing witnesses, following every new development in DNA technology, never truly closing the file in his mind, no matter where his daily work took him.

 Through the 1990s and 2000s, Scharf watched DNA technology evolve step by step, from nearly useless in 1987 to increasingly powerful, able to say more and more from smaller and smaller samples. In 2003, he uploaded Individual A’s profile to CODIS and received the no match notification he had somewhat expected. Scharf kept going.

 He understood that the killer had left DNA at the scene, and DNA doesn’t lie. DNA doesn’t fade with time. DNA doesn’t forget. The only thing missing was the right technology to exploit it, and he knew that technology would come one way or another. Meanwhile, the Cook and Van Cuylenborg families continued to live with a question that had no answer, through holidays, through birthdays, through the years that Jay and Tanya should have been living.

 Jay’s mother, Leona Cook, was still alive, still waiting, still believing that one day there would be an answer. In 2017, 30 years after the case, Scharf decided to try a direction that had not existed before. He reached out to Parabon NanoLabs, a forensic company in Virginia specializing in DNA phenotyping, the technique of analyzing DNA to predict the physical appearance of the person carrying it.

 Parabon took Individual A’s profile and created a computer-generated image, the estimated face of the suspect, skin tone, hair color, eye color, facial bone structure, based entirely on DNA. This was the first time in 30 years that Scharf had a face to look at instead of just a code in a database. But even more important than the image, Parabon introduced Scharf to a woman who would change the entire case, CeCe Moore, America’s leading genetic genealogist, who had just been appointed head of Parabon’s genetic genealogy division.

In 2015, a woman named Chelsea Rustad in Tumwater, Washington, sat in front of her computer and did what millions of Americans were doing in those years. She took a DNA test kit she had bought, collected a saliva sample, and uploaded the results to GEDmatch, a website that allows users to share DNA to find relatives and build family trees.

 Rustad knew nothing about Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg. She knew nothing about Individual A. She just wanted to find family branches she didn’t know about and was curious about her own roots. But Rustad’s DNA and the distant family connection she didn’t know she had to the killer would become the final piece Jim Scharf needed after 31 years.

 When police later contacted her, Rustad said what no one wants to hear about their own family. “They told me they were investigating a member of my family for murder, a double murder from 1987.” In 2018, Scharf asked CeCe Moore, who had just been appointed head of Parabon NanoLabs genetic genealogy division, to perform genetic genealogy analysis on Individual A’s profile.

 Moore uploaded Individual A’s DNA to GEDmatch and began searching through approximately 1 million DNA profiles in the database, 1 million people who had voluntarily shared their genetic information to build family trees, none of whom knew they might be helping to identify a killer. Moore found two distant relatives of Individual A in the database, people who shared enough DNA to place them in the same family tree branch.

 From those two starting points, Moore began building the family tree backward, finding the common ancestors of both relatives, then tracing down all the descendant branches, eliminating individuals one by one based on gender, age, and geography until only one name remained that could possibly fit. 2 hours, that was all the time CeCe Moore needed to do what 31 years of traditional investigation could not, narrow it down from 1 million people to a single name, William Earl Talbott II.

The conclusion was clear. The source of the DNA had to be the son of William and Patricia Talbott in Monroe, Washington, and this couple had only one son, William Talbott II, who was 24 years old in 1987 and lived 11 km from where Jay Cook’s body was found. As Scharf began investigating Talbott’s background, the pieces started falling into place.

 In 1987, Talbott worked as a delivery driver with routes through the Seattle area, right near the area Jay and Tanya were heading to pick up heater parts from Gresco Heating. Talbott had been fired a few months before the murders, meaning he had free time and was hanging around an area he knew well from his old job. Scharf noted, “That makes sense.

 He was hanging around that area and probably crossed paths with Jay and Tanya by chance.” Talbott’s former roommate, when located and questioned, added one more detail. He had seen a blue blanket in Talbott’s house and truck that year, similar to the blanket found on Jay Cook’s body. But the genetic genealogy result, while pointing to a single name, was only an investigative lead, not legal evidence that could stand up in court.

 Scharf needed direct DNA from Talbott, and he needed to obtain it legally without having probable cause to arrest him or compel his cooperation. The solution, surveillance. Scharf and his team followed Talbott, who was still working as a truck driver, for several days, tailing him and waiting for the moment he discarded or dropped anything that had touched his mouth.

Then, at a red light, Talbott’s coffee cup fell out of his truck. Scharf and his team quickly collected it, rushed it straight to the Washington State Patrol Lab that same day, and waited for the results with the tension of men who had waited 30 years and knew this could be the final answer.

 Forensic scientist Lisa Collins compared the DNA from the coffee cup with Individual A’s profile and cried when she read the results. It was a perfect match. The probability of finding another person on Earth with the same DNA profile, 1 in 180 quadrillion, that is 180 million trillion. Individual A now had a name, and that name was William Earl Talbott II.

 Scharf and his team began systematically and meticulously reconstructing William Earl Talbott II’s life in 1987, the year he was 24 years old and Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg had boarded the ferry from Victoria and never returned. Talbott lived near Monroe, Washington, 11 km from where Jay Cook’s body was found under the high bridge, a distance close enough that it couldn’t be random.

He worked as a delivery driver and knew the Seattle area and surrounding routes well from his daily job, but a few months before the murders, he was fired, which meant that in November 1987, he had no fixed work schedule, no routes he had to follow, and nothing keeping him in one place.

 The question no one could fully answer was, “Exactly what happened in the time between when the ferry docked in Seattle at 11:30 p.m. and when Tanya was found 6 days later?” Police located Talbott’s former roommate from 1987 and took his statement, and what he told them added several important pieces to the picture that was gradually emerging.

 The roommate confirmed that he had seen a blue blanket in Talbott’s house and in his truck, similar to the blanket found on Jay Cook’s body, the one someone had placed over him after he was killed. He also described Talbott as someone who had a volatile relationship with family members. He had once broken his sister’s arm in a rage and had a dramatically different and unpredictable personality when drinking, becoming a completely different person from his normal self.

 But the most important detail, the roommate remembered that Talbott had once taken him to the exact general area where Jay Cook’s body was later found. Talbott knew that area, was comfortable there, and had a reason to bring someone else there before the murders occurred. When Talbott’s name was confirmed, the old question from the previous 23 years came up again.

 Was he the one who had sent the anonymous letters to Jay and Tanya’s families starting in 1988, the letters claiming to be from the killer and mailed from various locations over the years? In 2010, it had been confirmed that the letter writer was a 70-year-old Canadian man with severe mental illness who had nothing to do with the murders.

 However, the fact remained that Talbot was also a truck driver capable of traveling widely and mailing letters from different places without leaving a fixed trail. Scharf and his team looked at everything they had. DNA that matched with a probability of one in 180 quadrillion, geography that matched because Talbot lived 11 km from where Jay was found, timeline that matched because he had been fired and was hanging around the area in November 1987, and the roommate’s statement about the blue blanket and Talbot taking him to that

exact area. An arrest warrant was prepared and signed. After 31 years since the night Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg boarded the ferry and never returned, individual A was about to have a real name. On May 18th, 2018, exactly 31 years after Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg boarded the ferry from Victoria and never returned, the Snohomish County Sheriff announced that William Earl Talbot II had been arrested.

 Talbot was now 55 years old, a middle-aged man working as a truck driver, living his normal life, someone no one in the community had thought of when the Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg case was mentioned for the past 31 years. 31 years had passed since the night he crossed paths with the young Canadian couple on the streets of Seattle.

 In June 2018, he was additionally charged with Jay Cook’s murder after the prosecution’s case file was completed. Talbot pleaded not guilty. At the press conference announcing the arrest, Jay’s sister said, “It’s hard to describe the feeling of relief, joy, and the deep sadness that this arrest brings.” Jay’s mother, Leona Cook, the woman who had waited 31 years, the one Jim Scharf had thought about throughout all the years he worked on this case, said something that was both a victory and a reminder.

 “On one hand, we’re moving toward closure. On the other hand, we’re still missing and I don’t have my only son.” And Tanya’s brother, John Van Cuylenborg, who had lived for 31 years with a void named individual A, could finally look at a real name, a real face, a real person who had to be held accountable. The trial opened in June 2019 in Everett, Washington, and from the very first days, it was clear that this was not only a trial about a 1987 murder case, but also a trial about the very method that had identified the suspect. This

was one of the first trials in the world in which genetic genealogy was presented as evidence before a jury. And the defense attacked it directly. Whether DNA from an unrelated third party, like Chelsea Rustad, who only wanted to build her family tree, could be used to identify a suspect. Whether the DNA of innocent people being used as an investigative tool without their knowledge violated privacy rights.

The court allowed this evidence to be presented. A precedent was set. A precedent that would affect dozens of cold cases across the United States afterward. Talbot’s defense focused on a single point. He and Tanya had consensual sex before she was killed. Someone else, someone the defense could not name or provide any evidence of existing, had killed both Jay and Tanya.

The prosecutors refuted every point decisively. Tanya was abroad for the first time with her boyfriend on a trip with a specific purpose, and she was on her period. There was no circumstance or logic that could explain why she would voluntarily have sex with a complete stranger that night. And more importantly, both Jay and Tanya were bound with the same type of zip ties.

Both were killed and both were found with zip ties near their bodies. This was the work of the same person, not a coincidence of two separate crimes happening on the same night. The jury of 12 people listened to it all, about the ferry, about individual A, about the coffee cup that fell at the red light, about Chelsea Rustad and the family tree, about CeCe Moore and the 2 hours of analysis, then went into deliberation.

 On June 28, 2019, the jury returned to the courtroom and delivered the verdict. William Earl Talbot II was guilty of two counts of first-degree murder with aggravating circumstances, one count for Jay Cook and one count for Tanya Van Cuylenborg. The families embraced each other in the courtroom. 31 years compressed into a single moment.

John Van Cuylenborg said after the verdict what he had waited his whole life to say. “It’s wonderful to have answers. We know from the trial that not all questions were answered, but we have more than we had in 31 years. That’s huge progress.” In July 2019, the judge handed down the sentence.

 Two life sentences without parole, one for Tanya Van Cuylenborg and one for Jay Cook. Talbot, 56 years old at sentencing, would never walk free again, but he did not accept it and the legal system gave him the right to appeal, which he exercised immediately. In December 2021, the Washington Court of Appeals Division 1 issued a ruling that shocked the Cook and Van Cuylenborg families. The conviction was overturned.

Not because the DNA evidence was rejected, not because genetic genealogy was dismissed, but because of a technical issue in the trial process. A juror was determined to have had actual bias during jury selection. The juror had given vague and unclear answers about their own impartiality when questioned before being seated, yet was still allowed to serve and participate in deliberations.

 The Court of Appeals concluded that it could not be guaranteed that Talbot had been tried by a truly impartial jury as required by due process, and therefore the verdict could not stand. The victims’ families received the news with the kind of disappointment only those who had waited 31 years could feel. People who had lived through all those years, had sat in the courtroom, had heard the guilty verdict, had thought it was finally over, and now had to face the possibility of doing it all over again.

Prosecutors planned for a second trial and prepared to bring the case back to court. Then on December 23rd, 2022, the Washington Supreme Court issued its ruling. It rejected the appeal and fully reinstated the 2019 guilty verdict. The Supreme Court’s reasoning was that the defense still had the right to strike jurors during selection and had a legal opportunity to remove the juror they believed was biased, but chose not to exercise that right.

 They could not lose a trial and then appeal something they had the tools to prevent but failed to act on. The two life sentences without parole were upheld, unchanged, and unappealable. The case was closed in the most absolute legal sense possible. William Earl Talbot II would remain in prison for the rest of his life. The three rounds of legal proceedings, conviction in 2019, successful appeal in 2021, and Supreme Court rejection in 2022, were not a system failing and then correcting itself, but a system working exactly as it should, even when the

intermediate result caused unnecessary pain to families who had already waited long enough. Each level of court examined the evidence before it, issued its ruling, and ultimately the highest court’s answer was, “Talbot is guilty. The sentence stands. Justice was served and confirmed through three different levels of court.

” Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg, two young people who boarded the ferry from Victoria on the evening of November 18th, 1987 and never returned, after 31 years of long and painful silence, had finally been heard. The Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg case was not just a cold case solved after 31 years. It was the moment when an entirely new method was introduced into the world of criminal investigation and forever changed how humanity hunts for killers.

 This was the first case in the world solved using genetic genealogy, the method that uses public DNA databases to identify suspects not through the suspect themselves, but through their relatives. People who had voluntarily shared their DNA for completely innocent reasons. After this case, CeCe Moore’s method was widely adopted across the United States and many other countries.

 Dozens of cold cases were solved in the same way, including the Golden State Killer, Joseph James DeAngelo, California’s most notorious serial killer and serial rapist in history, who was arrested in 2018, also thanks to genetic genealogy, just a few weeks after Talbot’s arrest. Detective Scharf said, “Without genetic genealogy analysis, we wouldn’t be standing here today.

” That statement was not only true for the Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg case, it was true for all the cases that followed, solved by the same method, for all the families who received answers they never thought they would get, and for all the killers who thought time had protected them, only to discover it had not.

 But the case also raised a question the world still does not have a complete answer for, the question Chelsea Rustad faced when police knocked on her door and told her that the DNA she had uploaded to build her family tree had helped identify a killer in her own family. She had done nothing wrong. She had broken no laws.

 She was simply curious about her own roots, like millions of others. But her DNA, and through it, the DNA of all her distant and close relatives with whom she shared a genetic connection, had been used in a criminal investigation without her knowledge, without her consent, and without her ability to refuse. This is the boundary where law and ethics are still debating.

When you share your DNA, are you also sharing a piece of DNA belonging to all your relatives? Where does genetic privacy end and where does it begin? And who has the right to decide what your genetic information can be used for, even when the purpose is to catch a killer? The Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg case placed those questions before the entire world, and to this day, the answers are still incomplete.

 Jim Scharf, the detective who spent 23 years on this case, didn’t say much about himself after everything ended. But in one interview, he repeated what he had said from the very first day he took the file in 1995. This is probably the most terrible unsolved case we have. That statement didn’t change over 23 years.

 Only its ending changed. Sometimes justice doesn’t come from the victims families fighting tirelessly. Doesn’t come from media campaigns or organizations created in the names of the lost, but from a detective who could not rest until he found the answer, and from technology that finally became powerful enough to match that persistence.

 The two families on Vancouver Island, the Cooks and the Van Coolenborgs, had waited for justice across two countries, across three decades, through the legal system of a country that was not their own, with a language and procedures they had to learn while grieving. And they received it, 31 years late, but complete, definitive, and irreversible.

On the evening of November 18th, 1987, Jay Cook and Tanya Van Coolenborg stepped onto the ferry leaving Victoria with Tanya’s Minolta X-700 camera on her shoulder. The one she brought because she wanted to capture their first trip together. The small moments that people only realized were precious when looking back later.

 The plan was so simple and ordinary that no one thought there was any need to worry. Pick up heater parts for his dad, sleep one night in the van, and drive home the next morning. No one knew it would be the last time that ferry would take them and would never bring them back. What they should have had, coming home the next day, telling their families about the trip, continuing to date the way new couples do, growing up, having lives of their own, jobs, families, other trips with other cameras.

 The photos from Tanya’s Minolta X-700 of their first trip together were never taken. The camera disappeared with the killer and was never found. And the moment she wanted to capture never existed except in the imaginations of those who loved them. Instead of all that, they left behind something else. A detective who could not give up for 23 years because he could not accept individual A remaining unknown forever.

 A complete stranger who accidentally provided the final piece by simply building her own family tree, and a new method that forever changed how humanity tracks down killers. A method that would not have existed without this case. In November 1987, Jay Cook and Tanya Van Coolenborg boarded their final ferry and never returned.

 But 31 years later, in a courtroom in Everett, Washington, they were finally heard. If you’ve watched this far, thank you for taking the time with Jay and Tanya’s story.
