'At one point there were close to 10,000 sexual assault kits that were sitting on shelves across the state,' a Washington State Patrol WSP spokesman said.
The Washington State crime lab is poised to finish processing a huge backlog of rape kits.
Some of the kits had been gathering dust in hospital, law enforcement and university security storage rooms since the 1980s. Washington is not the only state with a backlog, but in 2019, Washington lawmakers increased funding for processing rape kits, which Loftis claimed was key.
