Shandee's Legacy Episode 16: Magda

The terrible toll for victims affected by the DNA lab’s ongoing failure is laid bare by Magda.

Eighteen months after her alleged rape, the mining site worker is still waiting for the lab to tell her what, if anything, is happening with the forensic testing of samples from her ordeal.

Magda shares her searing story with Hedley as Dr Kirsty Wright discloses major problems with the lab's testing of rape kits.

New managers of the lab in Brisbane put their faith in a United States lab to help with the backlog and bring down the long delays in giving results to victims.
And confidential documents which are being revealed publicly for the first time show bad things got with the lab's former management again taking short-cuts with testing even though it resulted in criminals' DNA going undetected, and crimes remaining unsolved.

You can call 1800 Respect anytime if you need support.
