East:
Washington vs. Tampa in Finals.

Disappointing: Montreal.

Re: The Patrick Kane Rape Case

A nurse who has dealt in such cases has said that after a rape kit is tested, it is placed in a new evidence bag and resealed as part of the chain of custody. Old bag is often discarded. Possible the old evidence bag is what was placed on the doorstep?
