But now, metro Detroit may have found a way to combat the problem that has plagued cities from Cleveland to New York to Jacksonville, Fla. The Wayne County, Mich., Prosecutor's Office has teamed up with United Parcel Service to create a system that will prevent valuable DNA evidence from being abandoned once it's collected.
