Are we even sure that the backpack they found was put there by the adjuster? Because the entire country knew they were canvassing central park for the bag in real time. And leaving the actual jacket he wore is risky because there could be DNA left on it. Hopefully the backpack and jacket were scrubbed clean.

    DNA is only good to confirm they have the right guy. Ditching the attire you were filmed with is far more important.

    DNA can also be matched using DNA services like 23 and me or whatever. If the shooter or a family member has ever traced their ancestry with that it could be used to catch them

    Have they ever actually done that though? I don't think they've ever caught someone because they dropped a pube their aunt took a 23 and me.

    You sont even need to have sent them a sample. Tou just need about a dozen distant relatives you have never even heard of submit a sample and the authorities can track you down, like people you only share a set of great-grandparents.
