Criminal defense attorney Thomas Eoannou said at a news
conference that the bag no longer contained the rape kit used
when the woman reported that she had been assaulted. Eoannou
said the mother made the bizarre discovery when she came home
for lunch on Tuesday.
Eoannou said the mother found an authentic-looking bag between a
storm door and her front door that was labeled with personal
identifying information for the woman, details on where the rape
kit was used and the initials of the nurses who administered the
kit. He said he wants the FBI or state police to probe how the
bag left the custody of investigators.
Kane, 26, has not been charged in the incident, which allegedly
took place on Aug. 2. The Erie County district attorney's office
recently delayed grand jury proceedings.
