DNA analyst deleted rape evidence for decades
Yvonne "Missy" Woods spent 29 years at Colorado's CBI systematically deleting male DNA from rape kits, then reporting nothing was found. Got caught by an intern. Concerns flagged over a decade earlier. She kept testing anyway.
1,045 cases now tainted. Over 400 sexual assaults. One murder conviction already overturned. Prosecutors already cut plea deals in three other murder cases rather than risk putting her work in front of a jury.
In court, victims screamed "LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!" as she was sentenced to 10 years. Colorado is retesting more than 1,000 cases.
A 29-year star forensic analyst deliberately sabotaged rape investigations for decades while her institution did nothing until an intern exposed her.
