Hey- there is a database. It’s called CODIS. It stores the results of the DNA tests and new results are tested against all the results in the system. I work on this field and I suspect that part of the reluctance to test the rape kits is because the police believe the accused is innocent and don’t want them input into CODIS.

It’s hard to price because investigators don’t bother investigating. DNA, testimony, witnesses, documented injuries, past behavior of the offender should all be considered but investigators usually stop at “he said he didn’t do it.” Or “he said it was consensual.”

You are a hero! Thank you for all that you do!

Most rapes are committed against someone of the same race as the perpetrator.

It’s a national system called CODIS.
