Seattle Times //

As a former cop, I respect and appreciate those who've dedicated their lives to serving others as well as those who appreciate the rule of law and honor it.

Dave Reichert //

[Reichert] focuses on the grueling investigation, which spanned 20 years, many political upheavals, funding uncertainties and thousands of false leads… Stunning.

The Kitsup Sun //

It is like the measure of any good cop: being the right place at the right time.

Seattle Magazine //

In 1982 no one ever heard about DNA… When I became Sheriff we really began to focus on again the fingerprints. We focused on an evidence could have any DNA possibilities.

Dave Reichert //

One of the things that we felt was missing was a champion … somebody that can go down there from public service and explain the power of DNA.
