The killer had sent chilling messages to others over the years

The young American couple set out on a trip in 1987, speeding toward Seattle, Washington, in a gold van, when they crossed paths with a killer.

The man raped Tanya Van Cuylenborg and shot her in the head. Jay Cook was beaten and strangled.

The killer left a pair of plastic gloves inside their vehicle, a gesture one detective interpreted as a taunt: You'll never catch me.

 That was true for more than three decades.
