Lawyer of Patrick Kane's accuser says evidence bag opened, tampered with

Thomas J. Eoannou, the lawyer of the alleged victim in the Patrick Kane rape investigation, said Wednesday that the rape kit evidence bag was tampered with and delivered anonymously to the accuser's mother's home.

Eoannou said in a press conference in Buffalo that he will be requesting an independent investigation into how the bag was obtained and who it was obtained by.

Eoannou said he's unsure the whereabouts of the physical evidence of the rape kit, which was performed at a local hospital after the night of Aug. 2, when Kane allegedly sexually assaulted the victim at his home in Hamburg, N.
