When a couple disappears without a trace in 1987, their families are left wondering what happened to them. Did they decide to just take off without checking in? Did they change their trip without letting anyone know? While the family’s worry — evil is taking place.

When the bodies are discovered, no one could imagine the long trail that justice would have to take in order for closure to be brought about. The crimes in which Jay and Tanya lost their lives were unimaginable, and the torment that the families carried for years was buoyed with hope from one person, the detective who would not let the case go.

With DNA now being used, and people from around their world submitting their DNA to databases, it was just a matter of time before it could be used to solve crimes as well. Cold cases from decades past were being solved, and of course, controversy would arise over the use of such databases.
But it would manage to give them one thing — the name of the person who’s DNA had been left behind at the crim scene so many years ago.

The Forever Witness takes you on the journey for justice — from the beginning when this couple was full of hope and dreams, to the detective that refuses to let the case die. It was a book that keeps you interested from the start, as you are hoping that, in the end, justice will be served.
