Can all "Date Rape Drugs" be discovered after the event through toxicology tests? Are there any that can't be traced?
Reason I am asking is because my daughter believes that it happened to her and the police said that NO DRUGS were evident.

Many people make the simple mistake of drinking too much and then do not simply admit it to themselves or others, especially to their parents. Date rape drugs are hardly ever used, I have investigated many sexual assaults in a University setting (Lots of young people) and only one such assault took place using a drug. The drug was found in her system.

You will generally have to specify in a toxicology test that you are looking for date rape drugs. General toxicology tests only cover the basics. Any drug can be traced, you just have to request the right test. She should be tested as soon as possible, as there are several different drugs that have a paralyzing affect and they all metabolize at different rates.
Most importantly, don't take a drink anyone else offers and don't let your own drink out of your sight.

GHB, which has become a popular date-rape drug, metabolizes in the body very quickly and becomes difficult to find in toxicology tests.
However, even without the drug in the system, the symptoms she had in combination with rape-kit results can often be enough to at least launch an investigation.

Rohypnol, also called, roofies, roach, la roche, and many other names, is one of the "main" date rape drugs that are out there, it is odorless, colorless andn tasteless, and will quickly disolve in a drink in seconds, and the effects can last for 2-8 hours. I do not know off hand if this drug can be detected in tests, but you can check out the DEA website and maybe they can have some answers for you.

I believe the elements of date rape drugs can still be found in the fat cells even after they've left the blood stream.
