17 years later, DNA leads to second arrest in reported sexual assault of Utah teen
A suspect was first arrested in 2018, but the latest arrest came after new DNA technology helped produce a match.
It took 12 years to test the rape kit!
That's horrifying.
In 2022, at least 25,000 untested rape kits sat in law enforcement agencies and crime labs across the country. This figure only accounts for data reported by 30 states and Washington, DC; the total backlog number is unknown.
