DNA System
The DNA System is a CODIS is the acronym for the Combined DNA Index System and is the generic term used to describe the FBI's program of support for criminal justice DNA databases as well as the software used to run these databases such as hair, blood, finger nails, semen, etc. one way to contain this evidence at a crime scene or from a victim is gathering the DNA profile of the suspected perpetrator is developed from the swabs in the kit. The DNA profile from the evidence is also searched against the state’s database of crime scene DNA profiles called the Forensic Index. If there is a candidate match in the Forensic Index, the laboratory goes through the confirmation procedures and, if confirmed, the match will have linked two or more crimes together. The law enforcement agencies involved in these cases are then able to share the information obtained on each of the cases and possibly develop additional leads. A CBS news investigation in 2009 found that 12 US cities said they have no idea how many rape kits in storage are untested in Detroit that same year prosecutor discovered more than 11,000 aging warehouse rape kits and vowed to process them all as of early 2014, 1600 kits have been tested. while 455 suspects were identified with 87 of those serial rapist. In 2011 Los Angeles finished testing a backlog  of 6132 rate kids which yielded 1000 matches to DNA already in the system. and a good case to look into besides this article is “Kenneka Jenkins” it has all what the article is talking about and perfect example of rape kit. It has blood samples and even footage. There are great examples in that case, it might be disturbing to few because the have video evidence but it still has great examples of stranger case of rape kit, it is still an ongoing case so I can not give you the outcome of it but I will when the information appears.
