The Girlfriends: Spotlight, E5: Rose Solves, At Least, 86 Cold Cases

Rose Brady’s job running Baltimore County’s SVU was a frustrating one. The sexual violence crimes she and her team were investigating were just the tip of the iceberg. Her department was sitting on thousands of unsolved rape cases, dating back decades - with little hope of ever finding the perpetrators. That was until Rose made an incredible discovery: At a local hospital, a diligent forensic pathologist had kept in storage all the biological evidence from every rape exam he had ever performed. This could be the key to getting justice for hundreds of desperate women. This is a story of hard work, dogged persistence and a series of incredible coincidences… If you’ve been affected by sexual violence, there are organisations which can help.  In the US: https://www.nsvrc.org/survivors In the UK: https://survivorsnetwork.org.uk/get-help/
