DNA from a rape kit that sat untested for more than a decade has implicated a convicted murder in the Utah State Prison in the rape of a 16-year-old girl in Salt Lake City.
On July 3, 2006, the victim — whose name wasn’t released because she wishes to remain anonymous — told Salt Lake City police she was walking home near 300 S. Cheyenne Street when she noticed a car with two men inside driving in circles around her, according to court documents. Soon after, the passenger jumped out and grabbed her, pointing a gun at her stomach.
