The woman at AMW whom I spoke with sounded like it's not 100% always collected, for some reason, and that she was going to request that LE make sure the DNA is on file or obtain it from him so they can cross-reference with the Tinsley case. That was the impression I got, at least. It's still possible that even if they did collect his DNA, they didn't cross-reference it with an over 20-year old cold case. It would be nice if Chris_Texas was on to something and the Tinsley family can have some closure.
She's right (the AMW lady). This is one of Walsh's projects to get all states to collect DNA even if just for an arrest.
Some states have passed this, but I'm not sure when each state enacted the legislation.
