That's not true, aussie. As Duchess said, it's not that easy.
If the suspect in the photo is the perpetrator and he is not in the criminal DNA database, DNA collected from the girls' bodies / crime scene won't help LE identify the unidentified suspect.
If that's the case, once the suspect is identified and/or captured, LE can get a DNA sample from him and test it against the sample from the girls' bodies / crime scene. If it's a match, the DNA evidence can be used against him.
LE is fielding thousands of tips and has erected 6,000 billboards across the country in attempt to identify the suspect. They want him caught quick.
