How do they even go about searching? Free rain matching as many possible ties in the database? I wonder how many more innocent person's "discarded DNA" was matched against before they came to their conclusion of him being the suspect. It wouldn't surprise me if they kept the matches to the innocent ones as well. Like for instance. This John Does "discarded DNA" didn't match the suspect but it's John Does just in case we ever need to know.
