Officials: Houston clears backlog of 6,600 untested rape kits, hundreds of matches in database | Fox News: "the city launched an effort in 2013 to test 6,663 rape kits — some of which dated back nearly three decades"



"More than 12,000 kits went untested for years in Memphis, Tennessee, which is facing a lawsuit from rape victims as it tries to test the kits. In Detroit, prosecutors discovered more than 11,000 rape kits in an abandoned police warehouse in 2009, and Cleveland prosecutors have sent their entire 4,700-kit backlog for testing."



Waiting that long is unbelievable, a travesty of injustice, and gross misconduct!
