When they find evidence its put in something called a rape kit. Now, the problem is that in many cases, across the country, those rape kits sit for years so thats why today, the Vice President of the United States along with senator Barbara Mikulski toured the Maryland State Police crime lab in pikesville to see what is going on there in the way of work but also to announce that they have secured 41 million out of the federal budget that can be used by jurisdictions across the country to improve their faculty to test to eliminate that backlog.
