Affidavit of Probable Cause (State of Washington v. William Talbott)
Prosecution’s charging affidavit detailing the case against the defendant in a Washington double homicide case that occurred in 1987. Included in the affidavit was a description of the surreptitious collection of the defendant’s DNA once he was identified as a likely suspect from the results of the family tree build-out and the ensuing match and confirmation to the DNA recovered from the female victim decades earlier.
