In episode 9 of Sheriff Fortney's podcast, hear from Cold Case Detective Jim Scharf on his 38-year career with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. In 2018, Det. Scharf was ready for retirement when a new technology, Investigative Genetic Genealogy, cracked open a whole new way to solve decades old cold cases. Detective Scharf made an arrest in 2018 for a 1987 double-homicide; it went to trial in 2019 and was the first conviction in the world using Investigative Genetic Genealogy.
