I'd like to think there's 3 scenarios right now from the investigative POV:
1. You have no DNA of the killer
2. You have DNA but no matches in any database.
3. You have DNA with a match
We can rule out 3 since they would have arrested the perp by now. That leaves 1 and 2.
If 1, you may not want to admit that you have no DNA. You may instead probably say, you have DNA and that you are working on identifying who it belongs to. That would probably spook the perp.
If 2, You probably aren't going to say you don't have DNA and you're not going to say you have the DNA for fear the perp might run or commit suicide. The logical thing to do would be to keep quiet.
At this point in the game, I would like to believe the answer is number 2. You have DNA but need time to figure out who it would belong to. If nothing else leads to the perp, I hope this is the case and it's just a matter of connecting the dots genealogically.
