For thirty-six years, a brutal cold case haunted Maine. In 1976, 70-year-old Blanche Kimball was stabbed forty-four times in her Augusta home. Her killer vanished, crossed the country, changed his name, and lived on Seattle's streets. Then in 2012, a detective offered him five dollars and a stick of chewing gum—cracking one of Maine's oldest unsolved murders.​

Discover how Detective Abbe Chabot refused to let Blanche be forgotten, how DNA technology evolved from the 1970s to the 2000s, and how an ingenious undercover operation brought a killer to justice nearly four decades after his crime.​

This 29-minute deep dive reveals the power of modern forensic science, dedicated cold case investigation, and the relentless pursuit of truth. No victim is too old, no case too cold, and no killer too far gone to face justice.
