That car belongs to Katie Stockton of Rockton, who's also accused of murdering Baby Crystal.

Investigators won't say much right now about the testing process. But one agency they often turn to is the Illinois State Crime Lab. 23 News takes a closer look at how that agency operates.

It's equipment and scientists like these that can make or break criminal cases.

And it's all found inside eight Illinois Crime labs, including one on the top floor of Rockford's Zeke Giorgi building.

"We basically analyze evidence from crime scenes that law enforcement agencies bring into us," Lab Director Joanne McIntyre said.

Forensic scientists and evidence technicians work behind this door to the "Evidence Reception." For security reasons, 23 News couldn't go inside. But the state provided these general scenes from a typical lab.

"We can work cases in less than a day or for several weeks. It just depends," McIntyre said.

Depends on factors like the number of items from a case and how much of those items need analyzing. Since 2000, McIntyre's lab more than doubled testing for DNA and firearms. But they also test drugs and various prints.

"We do prioritize cases and in those specific circumstances, it wouldn't go to the back of the pile," McIntyre said,

Those circumstances could be a high profile case, an imminent court date or a public safety threat. We can definitely rule anything out we see on CSI.

"It's not quite the same as what we have here," McIntyre said.

There may be some bright lights and screens at the Rockford lab. But its tools aren't as high-tech and testing takes time.

"In few seconds you'll see on the screen: Match, Match, Match! We don't have that. They don't exist. It's fantasy," McIntyre said.

A fantasy world far from the real world where mysteries still get solved one sample at a time.

McIntyre says her lab alone sees cases in the thousands every year. As for backlogs, she says those are reviewed on a state-wide basis. And right now the state isn't facing any serious problems.

As for the two infant bodies found in Katie Stockton's old car, 23 News learned early last month that testing on one of those bodies was completed. But Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia said at the time, they won't release any information until the second body is examined.

Based on previous timelines from Fiduccia, we could start learning some new details in the coming weeks, likely before Thanksgiving.
