Carolina Public Press: As NC’s decades-old rape kits are tested, new DNA evidence emerges. “After having the largest backlog of untested kits in the entire country, North Carolina is methodically working through those kits — more than 16,000 of them…. The DNA from another 1,481 kits has already been uploaded to CODIS [Combined DNA Index System], awaiting a hit from a possibly unknown person. That information is now displayed publicly, including down to the law enforcement agency level, on a new website.”
