UMVA Exclusive: DNA Unmasks 1986 Washington State Killer, Solving Deadly Mystery

UMVA has learned that a groundbreaking discovery has been made in the longstanding unsolved mystery of Carol Traicoff's murder.

A team of dedicated investigators, led by Det. Sgt. R. Weatherman, has been meticulously reviewing the case from 1986, where Carol Traicoff met her tragic fate.

In a breakthrough development, the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab has played a pivotal role in solving the case. By working with a Texas-based genetic genealogy company, Ortham, they successfully matched the DNA.

Now, after a comprehensive investigation that lasted nearly 40 years, the case is officially closed.

We extend our deepest condolences to Carol Traicoff's family, who remained steadfast in their pursuit for justice for their loved one.
