Louis R. Vitullo (1924?- January 3, 2006 [1]) was a Chicago police sergeant and later became chief microanalyst at the city's crime lab.[2] He is best known as the first person to standardize evidence collection in cases of sexual assault, which until then was not done in a systematic fashion. The resulting evidence kits were initially called Vitullo kits [1] and continued to be known as such even after his name was officially removed from them.[2] Nowadays, they're more commonly known as sexual assault evidence kits (SAEK) or rape kits for short. [edit] DeathVitullo died at Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington[3] on January 3, 2006 after he collapsed at his home in Cary. He was survived by his wife Betty and his children Robert and Joanne.[2] [edit] References
