DNA, which led to a breakthrough in the case, will play a big role in the trial, says Snohomish County’s chief criminal deputy prosecutor
The jury trial for a Seattle-area man charged with the aggravated first-degree murders of a young Saanich couple more than 30 years ago is scheduled to begin June 3.
“There are a lot of moving pieces in a case of this age and complexity,” he said. “There are thousands and thousands of pages of disclosure.” Van Cuylenborg’s body was later found in a ditch in Skagit County in a wooded area of Parsons Creek Road, between Old Highway 99 and Prairie Road. She had a .38-calibre gunshot wound to the back of her head. She had been restrained with zip-tie fasteners and sexually assaulted.
