An effort underway in Baltimore County aims to find survivors of sex assaults from more than four decades ago based on the foresight of an emergency room doctor in the 1970s. Baltimore County police are working to process evidence collected from victims who sought care at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center over a 20-year span starting in 1977. The cases all have one man in common: Dr. Rudiger Breitenecker. On top of being an emergency room doctor at the time, Breitenecker was a forensic pathologist who used his training to preserve evidence. Even after his death, his belief in justice lives on in survivors today.
