This isn't like getting paternity results, though.
This is a crime scene with the DNA of at least 6 people who were either victims or who lived in the house. Then, there are the friends who came to help the two young women who lived on the first floor. And that's just the beginning.
Find the perp's DNA in this house is going to take time and correlation between multiple bits of DNA (some of it incomplete) and specific locations in the house. They need to find, as an archaeologist would, the top layers of touch DNA that are in the two murder rooms, then attempt to reconstruct it, as it's unlikely that they will get lots of complete "hits" from touch DNA - but the human genome is well known and they can piece together a DNA profile to then run through various databases.
This takes time. And to avoid confirmation bias, it should involve several different lab workers.
How would the FBI gain a profile on this "If I can't have her" person, given that K is no longer alive? How would this man stand out from all the other men who'd been to parties in that house or met any one of the occupants elsewhere?
With paternity tests, you test a specific person against another person's (the baby's) DNA. Two complete profiles to run against each other. That is not the case here.
I just hope that when they are looking for this “if I can’t have her” person, they are not discarding women as well. All the more so that we don’t know about the real target.
