The Phoenix Police Department said it had 835 rape kits waiting to be tested as of July 31, up from the 771 untested it reported in May, showing no progress in clearing its backlog.
PHOENIX — Sex crime evidence continues to sit on shelves untested in Phoenix, months after the ABC15 Investigators reported its backlog had once again ballooned.
Fulton said the hundreds of untested kits send a message to survivors that what happened to them doesn’t matter. “It’s concerning. I wouldn’t downplay it,” Mitchell said in May of 2023. “That’s really the bottom line is there is a risk of re-offense.”
