So Marty Goddard worked with runaway youth. She discovered this issue of sexual abuse and assault and rape and many of the reasons why these young people were running away from their homes and their communities.

Basically, she created this revolutionary forensic tool, and then she disappeared. She only showed up here and there at the turn of the century. And I want to get to what you discovered about her personal life in a little bit, but... In 2003, she was interviewed for an oral history archive project out of California. And I want to play a bit of her talking about the onus being on the victim.

That was Marty Goddard, one of the creators of the rape kit, talking to an oral historian in 2003. And my guest today, Pagan Kennedy, has written a book about the secret history of the rape kit and Goddard's contribution to creating that kit. You know, Pagan, I can hear that Chicago accent in her voice. She also represents a particular type of feminist.

As you write, she wasn't at the forefront of marching and demonstrating, but you describe her as this behind-the-scenes person.

But how did she gain access to law enforcement in a way that they would listen to her talk about some of the ways that were wrong, that they were conducting investigations?

So this sergeant from Chicago PD, Louis Vitullo, he was involved in creating this kit, but he didn't have nearly as much involvement as Marty, if I understand that correctly. So how did his name get attached to it?
