Homicide Investigation Tracking System
Homicide Investigation Tracking System is a violent crime database program of the Washington State Office of the Attorney General. The system tracks homicides and rapes in and/or relating to the states of Washington and Oregon and also receives data from at least three other states and Canada. The database provides information on over 6,000 murders and over 7,000 sexual assaults to local law enforcement agencies as well as advice and assistance in ongoing investigations. Notable cases that have been assisted by HITS include Gary Ridgway, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, and serial killer Robert Lee Yates.
