On June 12th, 1967 an elderly woman named Blanche Kimball was tragically murdered in Maine. Now her murderer will finally be facing the blunt of justice for his crime as police recently obtained DNA evidence from chewing gum.

An undercover Seattle officer got a saliva sample from Gary Sanford Raub, 63 who  had asked him to take part in a "chewing gum survey". As per the Kennebee Journal, the DNA extracted from the saliva sample was in congruence with that found in the victim's kitchen and on the knife handle which she was stabbed with.

Raub has been reported by ABC News to have been arrested on Monday in Seattle and charged with her murder. He was also one of her former tenants.

Despite Raub's denial of any involvement in her murder, the evidence has pointed the other direction.

"It appeared that the person who had stabbed Blanche Kimball may have sustained injuries that caused him or her to bleed, leaving possible suspect blood on various items in the living room and kitchen,' Maine State Police Detective Abbe Chabot stated in an affidavit.

He will now face court tomorrow in Seattle.
