This is the case which served as the hallmark of DNA genealogy used to solve crimes. It seemed to be happenstance that a woman CeCe Moore in California began investigating genetic genealogy not realizing that she was about to fall into a rabbit hole. Since then, she was able to lend her knowledge of this technology to solve crimes. That's where Detective Jim Scharf comes in wanting to solve a cold case from 1987 in Seattle of a double murder of two teens: Tanya Van Cuylenborg and Jay Cook. Once he sends the DNA to Parabon NanoLabs he isn't prepared for the media storm that will follow regarding privacy of DNA samples versus the legal system wanting to solve decades old murder cases. It is fascinating how the collaboration of dedicated people were able make advances in solving crimes.
