Houston police are reviewing if DNA testing in connection with thousands of sexual assault cases that were dropped due to staffing issues could have led to potential suspects and arrests.
FILE - Houston Police Chief Troy Finner speaks, Feb. 18, 2024, in Houston . Houston police said Thursday, April 11, 2024, they were still reviewing if DNA testing done in connection with thousands of sexual assault and sex crime cases that were dropped over manpower issues could have led officers to potential suspects and possible arrests.
All the DNA testing in these cases resulted in 95 with matches to suspects in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, database. Finner said the investigation, expected to be completed by the end of the month, will provide answers to who created the internal code and why officers continued to use it even after he ordered his command staff in November 2021 to stop using it after learning of its existence. Finner said he learned on Feb. 7 that the code was still being used, prompting the probe.
