CBS News covered a story in the season premiere of '48 Hours Post Mortem' about an undercover operation that used chewing gum to catch a killer in two cold cases.

Correspondents Anne-Marie Green and Peter Van Sant detailed how Detective Susan Logothetti and her team developed the ruse involving chewing gum to identify the murderer.

The investigation led to confronting the suspect, Mitchell Gaff, who had spent over 20 years in a treatment center for sexually violent predators.

The report highlights the innovative methods law enforcement used to solve long-unsolved cases and bring closure to victims' families.
