Tanya Van Cuylenborg, 18, and her boyfriend Jay Cook, 20, climbed into a van they’d borrowed from Jay’s dad and set off to run an errand.Tanya and Jay met at high school and had been dating just six months, so they were in the flushes of a new romance.
They took the ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles, Washington, and drove south-east on Route 101 to Bremerton where they boarded another ferry to Seattle. There was also a partial palm print in the van, plus the vehicle contained plastic ties that matched the one’s used to bind Tanya.The following day, hunters found Jay’s body in rough ground near a bridge over the Snoqualmie River in Monroe, 60 miles away from where Tanya had been found.
It wasn’t until 2010 – 23 years later – that it was announced the cards had been sent by a 78-year-old transient with mental health issues.The families healed as best they could, but they wanted justice and so did the investigators.As well as a cash reward, police released three images of what the killer might have looked like aged 25, 45 and 65, based on the DNA found at the scene.
He was now a truck driver living in Seattle-Tacoma, Washington, and those who knew him said he was a quiet man. At the trial this year, prosecutors told the court that William’s DNA matched the semen on Tanya’s clothes, and it was also his partial palm print in the couple’s van.
