Detective Susan Logothetti, working a cold case in Everett, Washington, linked a DNA match to Mitchell Gaff, a registered sex offender who had been living quietly under a new name after his release from civil confinement. Posing as a promoter for a fictitious energy gum company, she and her team collected a freshly chewed sample that tied him to the 1984 murder of Judy Weaver and the 1980 killing of Susan Vesey, a case that had cast suspicion on her widower husband for decades. Gaff pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 50 years in prison, giving the victims’ families a measure of justice and finally clearing the name of a man who did not live to see it.
