A 1994 Ventura County rape kit, tested under a 2022 county initiative, matched DNA from four unsolved Phoenix assaults. Arizona authorities arrested and indicted 55-year-old Abraham Ramirez on 11 counts tied to attacks from 1998 to 2013. The Ventura program is reviewing about 2,800 cases and has identified another serial predator. Victims can track kit progress and access support services.
