Yes, UCF, I agree.
But, if LE had a good tip, on a guy who is 5"8, with no record, and LE thought the guy was good for it.
All LE would have to do is obtain a DNA sample from the guy, and ask for a fingerprint sample. Sure, he could refuse, but, LE would only turn up the heat, and try to obtain a warrant for the information. Or, obtain a sample from a discarded cigarette, bottle of water, from his garbage, etc. But, eventually, LE would obtain a DNA sample from the suspect, one way or another.
So, that is my point. IF LE has prints, and DNA from JK's car, and a tip on a good suspect, they can manually obtain a sample from a "good" suspect, and the DNA lab, and the print specialist, can "manually" compare his DNA and prints with those in JK's car. You don't need CODIS or AFIS for that.
So, one of three things has happened in this case.
LE has DNA, and prints, from the POI, and they have not matched it with the database.
OR
LE has not run across the right suspect, and his prints and DNA are not in the database
or
LE has DNA and prints from JK's car, but, they are not from the POI.
One of these has to be the answer. Agree?
