Cold Cases SOLVED! Undercover Cops Get DNA From Suspect with "Chewing Gum Trick" 28.05.2026 47min

July 12, 1980, Everett, Washington: Married, mother of two, Susan Vesey, was found dead in her home the morning after her 21st birthday.  Her children were home while she was tied up, beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled.  Many possible suspects, including her husband and brother-in-law, were interviewed, but no arrest was made, and the case went cold.  June 2, 1984, Everett, Washington: Passerby calls 911 from a pay phone to report a fire in a small apartment building. Firefighters rush in to put out the fire and find Judy Weaver, tied up with a phone cord, strangled, brutalized and dead. The investigation stalls and goes cold. In the Weaver evidence file - a piece of carpeting from the apartment and a cigarette butt from the potential suspect.  Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack dig into the files of Susan Vesey and Judy Weaver and explain how those murders were directly tied to a sexual assault in 1979 of a woman who was able to escape the monster and the sexual assault of two sisters in 1984, that landed the suspect in prison, his DNA in CODIS, and creative undercover investigators using the "chewing gum trick" to solve two cold case homicides.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
