Jump to
Louis R. Vitullo (1924? – January 3, 2006) was a Chicago police sergeant and later became chief microanalyst at the city's crime lab. He is best known for his role in the standardization of 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, although they had initially been designed by Martha "Marty" Goddard, and continued to be known as such even after his name was officially removed from them. They are now more commonly known as sexual assault evidence kits (SAEK) or rape kits for short.
