Hello again!
Another case that has haunted me is the murder of a young couple from Victoria, British Columbia.
My sweetheart and I had barely moved in to our new home in Bellingham at the time of this horrific crime. We were living in an isolated cabin on the shores of Lake Samish just south of town and I can remember getting chills down my spine as details of this case became available. I wasn't much older than Jay at the time and when Tanya was found just miles from our house it made me dread the nights when I would find myself alone in the woods. I would later discover that someone had been staying/sleeping(?) in our detached garage during this time period, adding to the creep factor. We found a "survival kit" with lots of little weird things in a plastic bag.
Unsolved Mysteries did a segment on the crime, but as of today there have been no arrests in the case. When I saw the 48 Hours episode on "The Sweetheart Murders," I was struck by the similarities. I contacted LE and was basically blown off (big surprise--lol). To me, the fact that the convicted killer in that case just HAPPENED to be in WA at the time of Jay and Tanya's murder, used zip ties and had targeted a young couple very similar to this couple seemed like it might be worth looking into . . . call me crazy--lol

I will try and find links to the Unsolved Mystery segment and will post what I can find.
I would love to see this crime be moved from "Cold Case" to "Solved."
Blessed be--

The world breaks everyone ... those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
